James Toney wasnt ****in around. He wants to fight MMA

If it wasn't already clear, he wants a payday. There's a reason why you see guys like Mayorga and Toney are looking into MMA - it's because they can't get big fights in boxing anymore and the idea of an ex-boxing champ fighting an MMA fighting is intriguing and will sell. I'd love to see him spark one of those guys, though.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtmezYccPQA Damn, Toney is a real fighter and I love his interviews but c'mon... do you want to get killed James... I don't know much about MMA but the first REAL fighter that he fights there... will take him down and beat him up on the ground... this is not boxing with lesser gloves dude... this is an whole different ball game James

Toney's defense in standup was the shoulder roll which would be completely ineffective in MMA and would leave him open for a take down. The guy is not athletic anymore. Furthermore, wouldn't it be kinda sad if he got into awesome shape for an MMA fight and not a boxing fight?

I dont care how it happens lol ive been a toney fan forever and wouldnt mind seeing him knock out a couple people. I mean its now like they will match him up with a Frank Mir or some thing but a Kimbo, Check Konga or Houston Alexander you guys who just like to bang it would be fun to see!!! Get it done Dana why not.

That's the only problem I se in al this. Dana is a stickler about weight issues. Only time he's laid back about it is when their is a non-title fight between two weight divisions. If one of the guys tries but can't make the designated weight, he cuts them some slack because they tried. Don't see Toney adhering to a strict nutrition regimen.

Id love to see it, Toney fat or not would give anyone a run for there money....

Get him that white dude with the mowhawk.

you forget that you gotta take his fat ass down first.. you ever tried to drop an elephant?? Dana looked scarred and sounded nervous around James Tony.. :lol1: then again.. I really don't blame him.

Yeah, he needs to see if he can fight someone who is more of a striker and who's 1st instinct is not to shoot for a td......its interesting and I will be watching if he gets a fight. Defiantly. I'm game for any guy to cross over to the other respected sport. Both are great to watch in different ways. Both sports should respect the other. I'm glad Dana White isn't being a punk about it. In a business aspect of it he's dealing with his competition here and knowing him I wouldn't think he would give in so easily. Like him or not, I'm glad Dana actually let Kimbo in the UFC. Anyway, if the match is made smartly (I have no doubts from Dana) i could be a good event. Especially if Kimbo is involved. He has his on following of fans/haters, match that name with big James Toney and man... talking about big numbers involved. I hope it happens. Dont know who the hell I would pick cause I like both. I think Liddell and him would be pretty damn explosive. I think I would rather see that.

It's so stupid. NOBODY is gonna stand with him. They're just gonna take him down and pound him out. you forget that you gotta take his fat ass down first.. you ever tried to drop an elephant??

James Toney just dont give a fukk no one can ever say Toney ever ducked them top 40 ATG, i dont have a list but if you have a list he better be in the top 30-40 damn straight. all this talk about floyd, roy and BHop.. toney is as good as any of em. even though he lost to roy (and plenty other guys) he fought anyone. nobody else can say that these days. they all take the low risk high reward fights, toney would fight anyone. and not just in the ring or octagon eighter im talking parking lots and shit. u said it bro, nigguh just dont give a fukk.

You be too if he showed up out of nowhere in your face all the sudden. Bit different from knowing he's in the arena. Toney thinks he's going to get Liddell or Couture. Dude wouldn't survive Pat Berry. Liddell and Toney would be good. Couture would submit him easily. There is a reason he called out Kimo "SIMBA" Slice...... Big pay day without much danger of being submitted. I would pay for it. Then again I'm a big fan of and sport where fighting is involved.

everyone seems shit scared of him.

James Toney is funny as ****, heckling Dana during the interview, James is the MAN!

Oh boy. It's obviously going to go to the ground, they are going to lay on Toney or just sub him in about 3 minutes. I just realized how intimidating Toney is lol Kimbo vs Toney MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Problem is, a boxer with power and great technique will have hand problems throughout their career. Emielienko or whatever is a powerful guy and always has hand injuries

I could see a prime Toney knocking alot of these UFC fighters out, right now...I don't think so.
