TONEY "When I was cracking Rahman he couldn’t take my shots doing the Yankee Dooddle"

The bottom line is that Toney never hurt Rahman, who has one of the worst chins at heavyweight, after twelve rounds of catching him with flush counters all night long. I'd love to see Toney lay back and try to counter a durable aggressive heavyweight like Samuel Peter, who would be shoving him around and smashing him to the head, body, or even the back of the neck any chance he'll get without any fear of Toney's counters. Toney hitting Peter would be like a bird's shit hitting a windshield at 120 mph. He'd shatter his little hands on Sam's skull. Toney knows this very well which is why he's struggling to rematch Rahman rather than fight anyone who can take a shot to give one. Rahman deserves respect for the success he's had but I do not consider him a top five heayvweight. Samuel Peter would knock him out within six rounds. Hell Sergei Lyakhovich would likely UD or stop him late to be honest. If Toney has some balls he'll fight Peter, a fight Lou and Peter have both wanted for awhile now. We'll see what happens, if Toney can man up and accept that he's not going to get the immediate rematch with Rahman (that he doesn't deserve), and fight someone else, maybe he can get a little respect out of me. I haven't been impressed wih Toney since the Ruiz fight a year ago, and even then the victory was tainted by positive steroid tests. When is Toney going to fight an aggressive puncher and not a tentative Rahman, Guinn, Ruiz, McCline (the fight never happened but it had been scheduled) etc? Most likely he'll go after Valuev. That's my bet. It's obvious to me that Toney is looking for the path of least resistance. You won't see him in the ring with Peter or Wlad Klitschko, ever. ...Excellent post kid!!!

That's one less email address that you've had to make to come crawling back to this site after 15 bans. Everyone got this fight wrong Urkal. Think that over next time you walk your ass home from work.

The bottom line regarding the power is that Rahman and many others said for weeks leading up to the fight that Toney wasn't a real Heavyweight and that Rock's size and power would overwhelm Toney. Then the bell rings and Rahman's plan is to not fight Toney and to not throw his right hand (his best punch) in fear of being counterd. Anyone who thinks that fight was a robbery has no idea how rounds are scored. Toney's shots were cleaner and more effective, and they were powerfull enough they had Rahman reluctant to fight the entire way.

he is talking out of his ass now, rahman beat toney. toney was lucky to get the draw.

toney lacks the power in the hw division. he is just relying on his boxing skills. but when u have skills like his, power is not really needed, look at bryd who had held his HW title for about 4 years now. And Holyfild, who is an All time great, rahman says Toney hits harder them him.

yea, but who can honestly understand the words comin out of that mans mouth?

Does anyone have the full interview? I say Toney is on crack! _______________ JAMES "LIGHTS OUT" TONEY SPARES NO ONE By Darren Nichols "The referee Eddie Cotton, and the judge John Stewart were all high, constipated, whatever. Everybody at Top Rank, they’re all ball-less. When I was cracking Rahman, he couldn’t take my shots. You all saw him doing the Yankee Doodle Doo." It can be said that there is no one like James "Lights Out" Toney. But that would be trite, and a vast understatement to boot. James is well, James. He can say "excuse me" for coughing half way through a sentence in which he is cussing out a "garbage" fighter and his pregnant wife. It is as though he has a little white angel and red devil on each shoulder, and since they are constantly battling each other for supremacy, James decides to say and do things that make both sides of his conscience happy. Toney stays true to himself that way, which makes for an extrememly entertaining interview. btalk caught up with Lights Out this past weekend on ESPN's Friday Night Fights put on by Goossen Tutor for a little round table discussion about his March 18th draw again Hasim Rahman, why he wants to fight him again, why he was in the hospital for two and a half weeks after their fight, and why he has a beef with some of the biggest names in boxing. I know I've said this before, but THIS IS TRULY ONE INTERVIEW YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS!!! That is a transcription of the video interview we have for FREE on the main page.

Toney caught him with a few stingin shots that (maybe) slightly stunned Rahman for 1/2 sec but nothing serious....Toney is losing it

Sheeeeeaaaatt Rahman walked thru his best shit like it was nothing. :) Toney might be losing his mind.
