Someone on (I was there just reading what others are saying)ESB said that James Toney reinjured his arm but is going to fight anyway. They said Teddy Atlas talked about it on Friday Night Fights. I can't believe this damn it! :mad:

I don't know if these rumors are true:

....Sounds like they are already preparing an excuse if he loses.

Is it real though? I can't believe this crap!!!!!!!! :mad:

Lol, thats exactly what went thru my mind too

So your saying he probably isn't really injurd?



:damnit:I hate rumors!!!!!

....Anyway, I hope it's not real. It would suck if it's either obvious that Toney is injured or they call the fight off today.

I hope it isn't true.
I'm going to be reading the round by round, and If I see, "And Still WBA champ" at the end of it, I'm going to die.

LOl, I have NO idea..thats just the first thing that popped into my head when I read that post...does make me wonder.

If John Ruiz wins I am going to.......go crazy AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :chairshot :banghead: :fest30:
:burnup:



He won't win, Toney will beat this guy with one arm...I am not nervous. Hell No!!!

I hope Toney wins so he can fight Klitschko then get KTFO!

Actually I would like him to take care of Ruiz then for a REAL heavyweight prospect comes n takes care of Toney...

damn man if ruiz wins i swear im going to cry.

I'm not a huge Ruiz fan, but I think he will beat Toney because Toney is a little "TOO BIG" for himself right now. He won't be used to that weight and it may be his downfall, but we'll see.

Can we all agree that if Toney makes an excuse about an injury, whether it is true or not we all call bull**** on it?

Tonay is pathetic!

If Ruiz wins i will declare him the second best heavyweight in the world. I hate Ruiz really but if he manages to win i can`t knock what he has achieved. If Toney is 100% i can`t see how Ruiz can win.

Yep, good call.

I would love to see Toney win but if he's as damaged as Teddy Atlas made out, I don't see how he is going to get by the Octupus John Ruiz.

His resume should make him number 1 champ right now but his skills just suck so that places him at 2. Byrd is my recognized champ with Ruiz close though.

GoldenBoy-Teddy usually doesnt make statements like that unless he has good insider info. Remember the Mesi deal with Atlas? This makes this fight just this damn ugly, but I still call bull**** as it is an easy way out for Toney coming high and having an excuse and getting another shot down the line.

When you are injuring yourself fight after fight that is a good indication to retire or take better care of yourself and stop relying on the roids for healing.

These are the type of satements that bother me, James retire? He fighting his best right now. And how do you know for sure he is taking roids? Do you have definite proof?

Well I still believe he has a bit left in the tank but if he is going to keep injuring himself then possibly it would be best if he did for his own safety.


Onto the 'roids, No I dont have definite proof but Toney was coming off of a bone injury which is common for a doctor to prescribe to expedite the healing process. I am not saying Toney shot them up consistantly but during the Booker fight he looked more muscular than I have ever seen him and considering Toney was almost the 300 pound mark in preparation for the fight it wouldnt surprise me one bit....Mind you I am simply stating that a doctor may have prescribed Toney a form of steroids to heal his achilles injury (which is a common thing to do for such an injury) and Toney continued to refill the prescription.
