i really hope toney wins this one.

Really? Ruiz was 241, i thought he usually came in at 226. But I guess it dont make too much of a difference. Again, he was 241 when he easilly beat Rahman. You're dwelling on a number.

Ruiz was out of shape too and I think Ruiz did better than most people say he did. Ruiz was not out of shape he was the same weight he was when he clearly beat Rahman. And he clearly lost the fight on the cards with Toney. Doing better than people thought still saw him thoroughly losing. And this is after he's made for tough fights beating a nuber of Heavyweights.

I read today that he said he doesn't care what people think about the weight he comes in at. As long as it's below 240, he shouldn't have a problem.

:thinking: I agree, if JT is winning at HW he should fight there...

Dont get me wrong it's obviously working of him somehow but damn just stay in your own division. :thinking:

Man I cant wait for Toney to make a joke out of the already a joke Rahman, this is going to be interesting for Toney because we will see Toney get beat bad by a big man. All respect for Toney but he should have stayed in shape and dominated his division instead of getting fat and out of shape. Dont get me wrong it's obviously working of him somehow but damn just stay in your own division. Toney was out of shape and easilly outboxed Ruiz. In better shape, he should make Rahman look silly, and slowly punish him.

This is a great read, and is the most recent photo I've seen of Toney on the internet. It says it's from Mid Febuary: Inside James Toney's Training Camp http://www.fightfan.com/articles/0306-Toney-Camp-pic.jpg It was a sunny mid February afternoon in Los Angeles as I walked up the steps of the famed “Wild Card Gym” on Vine Street in Hollywood. It was my first time visiting Freddie Roach’s renowned gym and I was excited to see whom I might find upon entering. At the top of the stairs I reached a closed door with a sign that read “Wild Card Closed from 1:00 to 3:30 for private training camp of James Toney. No admittance, no exceptions”. Never one to be discouraged, I walked right in. I was met in the entranceway by a large security worker who stepped in my way. “Who are you” he asked. “My name is Ace, and I’m from Fightfan.com, the boxing website. I was hoping to catch some of JT’s camp”. I handed him my card and he quickly studied it. “All right man, you can come in”. He stepped aside and the view of the entire gym was spread out before me.

man, if you read the interview youd see JT knows hes rich, he isnt eating any wendy's bullshit. were talkin prime rib for lunch and 24 ounces of filet mignon for dinner.

I wish people would give JT more respect. He does love to eat but he also loves to kick ass. He is an alltime great fighter, hall of fame first ballot.

James is a crazy dude but likeable. You have to understand alot times hes just playing around. Atleast thats what I think... thats what i hope at least...i think his wife knows though, seeing as she was smiling the whole time and everything

“I love it when people are mad at me” he says as he pounds his man against the ropes. “I one of those old school niggas. A real gangster. I’m rich.” The talk would go back and forth from glorifying himself back to emasculating his sparring partner. All the while, the onlookers remained silent, seeming that no one wanted to draw Toney’s attention. lol :D

yeah, thanks for the link

Toney looks in about the shape he was for the Ruiz fight there.
