Is James Toney really a jerk?

[Dynamite Kid]

Hmmm... I guess so.

Someone told me that both Toney and Judah wore it because it was representative of a certain gang.

Both seem like the type of idiots who would live the gang style even though they are wildly rich. (Judah does for sure, I know. Do you remember him brawling with people over a dice game in the street?)

not like Vernon he is a top bloke is Forrest comes across like a Gentleman

im not sure about Judah, but i know for a fact that James wore his to pay tribute to his manager. She was always with him during his ringwalks. In fact, im not sure, but i think during his entrance to the ring to fight Jones, lampley talks about it.

Zab i would have to guess so. from brooklyn, got the teeth and the whole bling. he got that mike tyson mentality, so i wouldnt be surprised. he always plays the tough guy

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not.

Forrest actually seems like kind of a **** in the ring, when he refuses to touch gloves with every single opponent, but he seems okay in post-fight interviews.

Plus, he opened up that center for mentally disabled adults. I don't know if you can be a **** and do that... he did that before he beat Mosley the first time by the way, so it's not like he had elite fighter type of money at that point.

[Derranged]

Some of his post-fight interviews make him seem like a brain-dead *******.

Also, him sporting that Star of David makes me think he has a gang connection (Judah always has it too), and that makes me hate him anymore. I can't imagine a lifestyle more worthless than the gang lifestyle.

His speech indicates that he does have some brain damage I think....

no serious i think he comes over really genuine

Even the Burger King interview from fairly early in his career made me think that he is partially brain-dead.

[boxingfan420]

As is usually the case, apologists will say it's an act. But in all likelihood he has too few functioning brain cells to sustain an act. I think he's a joker but not one with any conscious control.

But I voted "I don't know."

I spent the day with James Toney once for a magazine photoshoot/interview.

He is pretty brash, but is actually a really funny guy.

He let us into his house, we smoked cuban cigars with him. He asked me who my favorite fighter was and I said DLH, he called me a burrito eating bastard, abd called me burrito the rest of the day.


But, when we were doing the photoshoot poolside, and he was under the palm trees, everyone laughed cause he was dark and looked like a guerrilla in the mist, literllly,



It was just one day I got to kick it, and he wa funny and polite, but he would kick your ass if you were ******. And I wouldnt talk **** to him if he was drunk.


On the other hand, Lennox Lewis was kinda laid back, didn't act a fool for one second.

Definetly


cool pic, but lenny's a true brit, whattya expect. toney's a pissed off american on the other hand

[Silencers]

I've heard it's all an act. Once the camera turns on, he becomes what he is in front of the camera, when the camera is off, he's a nice guy.

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

Listen, I consider JT a good friend of mine in the boxing game and anyone who knows him knows he is very cool and, actually, the many times I have seen him interact with fans he is very cool with them. He is not soft BY ANY MEANS, dont get me wrong....but he is an engaging type of person when you catch him when is relaxed and not focused on a fight, etc. And, yes, he wore that star as a tribute to Jackie Kallen. As for Judah he is an Israelite so that is the reason HE wears his star
