The people who think that JAMES TONEY should RETIRE are dead wrong

While I'm still up in the air with the decision, because I did see close rounds, and thought it would have possibly gone to a draw, but thinking about it, and reading what people said and just thinking about the fight Toney probably should have gotten the win, especially with Peter getting the point deduction and it definitely should have been closer, but I really do think it was close. But let me get to the point at hand. Toney even at 38 is a great heavyweight who I think will fight again, and hopefully get another shot at the belt. And I have a simple solution.... If Peter beats Oleg, I think Peter should give Toney the first crack at the belt. It was a great fight and I definitely want to see them fight again. Because Toney deserves that, and I think if Peter wants to really prove he definitely is worthy of that belt (if he wins it) give Toney a rematch with that belt on the line.

Ur wrong TONEY is a greta figther and takes more punches to the gloves and shoulder then face, thats a 10,341 to 19,500 ratio You may be right but the heavyweight pack heavier punchs. He got stunned a few times by Peters today.

ya know its sad, because i dont think toney should retire, he still shows that he has so much skill and can outbox any heavy out there now..but this loss is going to set him back. i agree that he can box until hes 40-42 because of his style, but he showed some age tonight, honestly, i hate admitting it because that MY *****, but he showed he can be hit. to his credit though he took the best shots peter could hit him with and kept doing his thing. but techincally this loss sends him to the back of the line

I don't think Toney would end his career like that, I think he will fight again. but he'll never be heavyweight champ. not at this point. not fighting twice a year (he didn't win a fight this year btw). he can't go for more than 2 more years. he's done.

Toney is like B_HOP with a lot more left in him he can go til his 41+ He sure could but the thing is he gets hurt to often. The thing with B-Hop was that he was always in shape and never had to fight off an injury before fights. That's why he stayed on top for so long. I have no doubt that Toney can fight for as long as he want's as far as his skills go but if he wants to fight that much longer he will have to stay in fighting shape no matter if he has a fight or not .

I don't think Toney would end his career like that, I think he will fight again.

he should still fight. u never quit, thats the cardinal rule in a sport like boxing. u put down those gloves, 5-10 years down the road, ur gonna regret it. id like to see toney fight again, for one last hoorah. If he wins spectacularly, i would love to see him go for a title. unlikely, but it would be the feel good story of the year (the year that it happens at least)

I thought he won the fight and can beat other heavyweights but i'd rather see him retire, all those heavyweight punchs take its toll on a fighter especially one that started at middleweight. Ur wrong TONEY is a greta figther and takes more punches to the gloves and shoulder then face, thats a 10,341 to 19,500 ratio

The pieces of shit that hate Toney may have run him out of title contention for good this time. Fuck them.

I'm a huge Toney fan, but he won't get a shot for a long time. He might as well retire.

Toney got a title shot and blew it plain and simple. Other fighters deserve title shots before him. He got lucky with his draw last time. Really you think Sam Peter is the future of the heavyweight division? Come on, If he beats Wlad Ill say he is one of the greatest boxewrweas pf a;; dimme. Just because middle tgoin to vheavy and beatin someinoe like wlad i s biad asccommplishment.

He took some bad punches and I want to hear how he handles the after effects of them. As far as skill goes, I thnk Toney can box till hes 40-41. A lot of the hard punches he got cought with tonight were because he was trying to hit that left hook from a distance and Peter would counter back with a monster shot. Al Bernstien pointed it out nicely. Toney's skill is leagues above almost everyone in the heavyweight division. Its really a shame when people like Owen Beck get title shots and Toney gets left in the dust. He would own Maskaev and Valuev. I dont think Valuev would land anything on Toney.

toney lost lol You will go to ever thread and say this same exact thing won't you.

oh absolutely not, James just fought the hardest puncher, in the heaviest division, and took his punches basically with ease... as long as he can't be KO'ed, James can out-box anyone from heavyweight to cruiser IMO btw, i can't express enough how happy i am to see that the overwhelming majority agrees that Toney won.. glad to see we got some pretty smart people on this board
