    Default Different side of James toney

    www.boxingtalk.net

    Well I can't show you the entire interview, but there's an interview on boxingtalk with James Toney(members only, which I am) but here's a part of it for a side of James you may have never seen(it's only a sentense)


    GL: Before we talk about some of these so called fighters, John Arthur told me about some charity work you did with some sick children, what was that experience like?


    James Toney: "I went down to San Diego to the children's hospital and spent some time with some very sick children and some autistic children. I don't do none of that for publicity though. I fight for publicity, I love working with kids and I had a great time with him. Those are some great kids and they leave an impression on you. It was fun being with them and it made me smile to be able to bring a smile to the kids faces."



    Thats all I can really show. But thats a side of James not many people see, so you can see it now.

    That's nice, too bad that's James Toney to everyone else, especially to his opponents. At least it shows his heart's still there.
    If you hear a voice within you saying that I am not a painter, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.

    You can tell hes a good natured guy, hes just and entertainer in the front of the cameras and likes to talk. He is likeable unlike some of the othe top guys who seem like @ssholes in and out of the ring

    Its a joke for him. That's what it appears like to me. He just boxes to box, and he doesn't give a shit. In his prime he was so good, and now he is still half decent, but his personality has always been, meh fuck that shit.

    I heard the only reason Toney goes down there is because the autistic kids are the only people who can understand what he is saying...

    He comes off that way but he really isn't....He is a no nonsense guy and he is a legit badass....Toney is not a guy to take lightly inside the ring and you certainly would not want to meet him in an alley somewhere....But I have met him a few times and he is always a curtious guy and usually makes time for fans if not mobbed....

    Toney is also a very dedicated family man....Toney is one of those guys who seperates his personal life from his professional

    if anyone out there can get themselves a copy of Dark Trade-Lost in Boxing by Donald McRae you will see what Toney is all about. The author struck up a good relationship with Toney and his mum and the book shows another side to him that many of us did not know existed. After reading the book I am a big Toney, he seems like a very nice bloke who has that bad boy edge from the ghetto. Hope all goes well for him now he looks finished as a boxer.
