Is James Toney really a jerk?

[Fox McCloud]

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

Nationality?

I know it's not a religious thing.

He did thank his lord and savior Jesus Christ after the Mayweather fight.

By all means, take John's knowledge on this question over mine. Mine was mostly heresay and speculation. He actually knows what he is talking about. (I hope no one actually had to read this in order to know this though)

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.

did toney take it the wrong way when people laughed because he was dark and they thought he looked like a animal near the trees? I can't image toney taking something like that, but then again I don't know the guy

[totalstranga]

he is, but I know James and his mother Sherri, and he has always been that way. daddy issues

Don't know, you never know how someone is behind closed doors. Most accounts say that Toney is actually a funny and personable guy, but if he's in one of his moods, stay the **** away from him.

Yer I thought that was weird considering on the Judah Corley HBO telecast Merchant said "Judah was raised as a black ***".

[VatoMulatto]

"According to ***ish lineage, the story of the son always begins with the father; it is the father who defines and grounds the son. The principle seems to be alive and well in the Judah family. Yoel Judah, an avowed Israelite or Black ***, is the undisputed ruler of his clan. He is loved and respected by his sons; a man who had to overcame great hardships to keep his family together"
