Should James Toney retire?

[SJM122]

He should call it a day.

[Kastrioti]

Yea man, the preformance with Oquendo was horrible, he completely lacked the counterpunching skills, which used to be his whole game.

[fitty_mafioso]

he should move down to cruiserweight, at least he would be in some kind of shape

James Toney shouldn't retire. The guy just simply loves to fight. This is what he's been doing for 20 odd years. Other people work in jobs they love until they're 60 cos it keeps them sane.

Everybody was saying that James was finished when he took long service leave in late 90s. Nobody gave James a chance against Jirov and we all know what happened in that fight. Then James moved up to Heavyweight and destroyed Holyfield and in the process won 'fight of the year', 'comeback of the year' and 'fighter of the year' in 2003.

James has a knack of re-inventing himself and always manages to pull a rabbit out of the hat. The Klitchkos should have answered James' calls four years ago about fighting him. Toney is the kind of fighter who always steps up when there's a World Title on the line. His record in Title fights speaks for itself losing only once to RJJ.

James has never been beaten up in 80 pro fights and has been in there with the best fighters in the world and none of today's Heavyweights have achieved what Toney's achieved in his career.
