James Toney Shows Little in Split Decision Win

[EliteSoldier]

He's fat

Toney hopes that what he called a three-step process to lose weight will result in a fight with Wladimir Klitschko.

"I ain't done," said Toney. "I just looked that way."

Wlad would put him in a wheel chair.

330, was Freddie Roach in his corner for the fight?

This is bad news regarding Sam Peter's two wins. It's not exactly surprising that Toney was going to go downhill at some stage though.

Well he looked good against Guinn I thought, and the skill was still there in the first Peter fight. So I disagree.

A crowd of 4,269 gathered Thursday at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California to witness the ring return of James "Lights Out" Toney (70-6-3), who won an unpopular split decision win over journeyman Danny Batchelder. Batchelder (25-5-1), who lost three of his last four fights and took the Toney fight on three weeks' notice, made the former multi-division champ look old. [details]

It's a real shame to see a legend like Toney go downhill like this, he better hang up gloves. If he fights anymore he'll just be losing more and more of his skills and not to mention fights and could possibly get hurt at this stage of his career.

He came in at 229, the lowest since he fought Holyfield but was still out of shape. Something doesn't seem right?

It means he's deteorating. His last three fights had take a lot out of him, he's 38 and has had 70 something pro fights.
