James Toney says he is 209 lbs!

catalinul16y ago

I just read an interview with him by Jmaes Slater from ESB and Toney said he was 209 when he left the gym today. That would be great news if true.

Comments (20)

I hope it's true, might be too late regardless though My thoughts exactly. If the man had taken training seriously a few years ago he could have been a significant force in the elite HW title picture. Toney vs Klitchcko is a fight that should have happened at some point, its really a shame.

16y ago

He loves beer better rather than boxing... lol

16y ago

I wish Toney had stayed at cruiserweight he could have been involvoed in some good fights with guys like Bell and Mormeck.

16y ago

Doesn't make him any less shot. No kidding. And that kind of weight loss can't be good for a guy his age, just ask Chris Byrd.

16y ago

makes me wonder why he's had almost a year off? lipo? steroids? JT has a bad record of passing urine tests after lengthy breaks.

16y ago

Doesn't make him any less shot.

16y ago

i really hope its true

16y ago

Well the only thing is that he hasn't fought much lately and sometimes that's a good thing for an older fighter. Things have a chance to heal up.

16y ago

I just read an interview with him by Jmaes Slater from ESB and Toney said he was 209 when he left the gym today. That would be great news if true. 209? I think Toney meant kilograms, which is around 440lbs.

16y ago

How old is he now? Around 41.

16y ago

The only way James Toney could weigh 209 lbs is if he cut off both his arms!!

16y ago

How old is he now?

16y ago

209... So his next fight is at light heavyweight and he needs to lose 34 pounds?

16y ago

I can say I have a 12in dick, but proving it is a whole different story. Exactly seeing is believing...Toney should just call it quits

I'd love to see him come in at a svelt weight. Maybe his physical shape will counteract his age. Kind of reminds me of a better Eddie Chambers.

16y ago

Wladimir and Vitali didn't win titles at Middleweight........

16y ago

209 is still fucking fat. It depends... Vladimir and Vitaly weigh over 209 pound and they not fat.

16y ago

209 is still fucking fat. It is but it's drastically better than recent 6-7 years or more.

16y ago

Even if Toney did get in shape, it's too late at this point. Dude is done.
