Just saw James Toney at Burbank Athletic Club-Pics!

OK so I was doing situps in my normal daily workout, and I hear some people talking about boxing next to me. It didn't dawn on me right away, but then I hear them talking about Shane Mosley, then Chris Byrd, and I look over and it's James Toney. He's there with some huge black dude, not sure who that is, and he's talking to one of the trainers at the gym. This is a regular health club, not a boxing or MMA gym, although they do have a heavy bag. I didn't want to bother him at all because he was working out, so I took these pics without them knowing it. To guess about his shape, he didn't look to be in shape at all. He definitely had a huge belly, as evident in the pictures when he's doing the situps. What I don't understand is why a guy who's overweight isn't on that treadmill doing cardio, but I hear he's notoriously lazy in training. Check out the pics, sorry they're not any better, I didn't want to be all in their faces like a rabid fan. http://i48.tinypic.com/8z0cpz.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/v6nm85.jpg

i cant believe JT even does sit ups. i really cant picture him training at all. i just picture him sparring all day and thats it to get ready for a fight. I swear I once heard, at least for one particular fight, that his training only consisted of sparring.

Hey Brother- I just didn't want to bother him. I was going to ask for a picture, but I just felt like it wasn't my place to do so while he was training. He was busy doing situps so he didn't even notice. yea, he didnt...he told me you should have asked him, though...next time...

Good post, but he should retire now though. He is seriously slurring his words. To tell u the truth...I think he sometimes does for whatever reason..but sometimes he is very clear...I remember Bowe was slurring there for a while and then...he just stopped suddenly...

So much natural talent, and such little dedication. SMFH. his dedication has been poor for parts of his career....but you gotta respect him, he wasn't always undedicated and there's been times during his career where he's really turned it on, got focused, and performed like the true great he is... I've got almost every James Toney fight there's been, on DVD, from like his 4th or 5th pro fight. He was dedicated enough to go 44-0-2 against stellar opposition in the early nineties, dedicated enough to get his butt down to 190 when he'd been fighting for a good while in the high 90s and even over 200 lbs, to take Jirov and The Ring's Fighter of the Year award in 03 (he also won it in 91), dedicated enough to keep in some sort of shape to get the Ws he has at HW against ppl like Holy, Ruiz, Guinn, draw vs Rahman, most people also thought he beat Peter in their first fight too.... James's focus has always been his achillies heel, but he hasn't been completely undedicated, like I say

What di dyou people expect? A ripped Toney? I'd say he in his ''normal'' shape which is bad.

Isnt he going over to mma now? Dudes going to seriously get hurt That's what I've heard, and the weird thing is I've actually seen MMA people at this gym kicking the bag. But James is not going MMA...you can tell he's not in that kind of shape. He'd get destroyed.
