    yeah.

    what a waste of talent.

    even when he was fighting at heavy......he was in shape what 2 time?

    is it that hard for 5'9 fighter to keep himself 215-220 at all times? he couldn't even keep himself at 215-220 after weeks of training camp!

    fat ass......... him and tua...... fat slobs.......

            yeah he does. god what a set of skills. if he was only at least 6 ft. and kept in shape he would've been a terror at cruiser and heavy.

            his losses to guys he wasn't suppose to lose to is the only reason i put him below roy in that list.

            roy didn't legitimately lose 'til he was past prime at 35.

                  Seriously... What has Toney achieved to be ranked above Calzaghe?

                      Ok, so you don't know Toney, take a look:

                      Name: James Toney
                      Career Record: click
                      Alias: Lights Out
                      Birth Name: James Nathaniel Toney
                      Nationality: US American
                      Birthplace: Grand Rapids, MI, USA
                      Hometown: Sherman Oaks, California, USA
                      Born: 1968-08-24
                      Stance: Orthodox
                      Height: 5′ 10″
                      Reach: 183

                      A multiple division champion (went all the way to HW!), James Toney was known for his legendary "old-school" style, consisting of his shoulder roll (used to avoid punches), his ability to fight off the ropes, his slick body movements, and his infighting.

                      On April 30, 2005, Toney defeated John Ruiz and, at that moment, was just the third World Middleweight Champion to capture a version of the World Heavyweight Championship, along with Roy Jones Jr. and Bob Fitzsimmons.
                      Fought much much better opponents including 4 undefeated experienced guys (not 40 year old experienced). Only lost to Jones and Griffin (of the undefeated group). I wonder what prime Jones would do to Zaghe...
