    Other than his thoughts on the Tito/RJJ fight, Toney is just delusional. Worse than ever...I mean Peter beat him clearly in the second fight. I'd be bitter about the first fight though. And he needs to give Wlad some props. He would kill James.

      Toney shouldn't fight anymore. He's right about the first fight with Peter but he really lost in the second and I think it's all downhill for him from now on.

        I'd like to see Toney fight a rematch with Jirov I thought Jirov won the first fight. Although I'm a bit biased because Jirov is one of my favorite boxers.

          In his last fight, Toney struggled to win a SD against jouryman Danny Batchelder; who btw was there just to make Toney look good. So in my estimation, this December fight is Toney's last chance at doing anything meaningful in the hw division. If he looks bad like he did against Batchelder or even loses, that's it for "Light's Out."

            say what you want....but boxing, especially the Heavyweights, need somebody like James Toney. He may say some things that don't make sense and he may be on the downside, but he still makes an interesting match up for anyone out there. And personally, I love how he fights....he's a real boxer, as far as skills he has it all but he just needs to get in shape, even if he came in the ring at 225-230 he would be better off. because any weight higher than that is gonna slow him down more than time has. I would like to see Toney take the Holyfield route to get another chance at a title

              I don't know; the hw division seems to be moving along fine without the likes of James Toney. Toney's brought shame to himself and the sport for testing not once, but twice for steroids...
