Former cruiserweight champion James "Lights Out" Toney is eager to make his return to the ring to prove that he's the only legitimate fighter in the heavyweight division and he thinks that Vassiliy Jirov would be the perfect stepping-stone to embark on what could be his last shot at the heavyweight title.
"He'd be a good stepping stone. He's perfect," stated Toney in a recent boxing talk interview. He continued, "for me, to fight a tune-up fight, I have to be motivated and I would be motivated with Jirov because he's been talking a lot of shit like Jameel McCline, the big six-foot seven ***got. He runs his mouth saying he wants to fight me, but they ain't trying to call me. They know the number, they can call."
"Man, the road to the heavyweight title still goes through me," stated a somewhat delusional Toney. "None of these heavyweights have beaten James Toney or can run through me. The fans know that I'm the only legitimate fighter out there at heavyweight. I beat the shit out of Samuel Peter the first time, I beat him the second time and he was running for the last six rounds. How is a big man going to run from a small man? Come on man! Stop giving these clowns credit. I took it all out of Samuel Peter and it showed when he fought McCline."

The interview. Classic James Toney all the way but there's no way he should be fighting again.
James Toney to me hasn't been in real fighting shape since the Jirov and Holyfield fights. Basically all his fights after that he has won based on pure skill and not being in shape and that can work 2 ways. Either Toney is actually that much better than these fighters or it really shows the lack of ability that these fighters actually have.
Toney won the first Peter fight but he got his ass kicked in the second fight. He can't get in shape for anything. He needs to be 210-215 if he ever wants to fight again...

That one cracked me up.
Besides PBF, James Toney was my other favorite fighter but then came all the steriods shit and the constant being out shape shit just pissed me off. I don't know what to think of James Toney anymore.
He could barely get by a nobody in Danny Batchelder with steroids in his system. He's almost as delusional as Holyfield.
True, but Toney is funny! :lol1:

first fight was close, but he lost... second fight was a land slide... and actually had toney rocked at one point, to even which toney agreed he got hit good... which is pure evidence of why hes delusional... toneys the worst slurred speech in the game today.. and its not cuz thats just the way he talks... it partly is... its partly cuz hes damaged goods
