    i know it was just an advice for those starting out, i just think he should have done it his whole career, he would have been greater.

      James Toney mentality is I can eat and train at the same time too. When he was a middleweight-cruiserweight, there was a limit to how much he can eat. Now at heavyweight he can eat an unlimited amount of food without worrying about his weight, great for him isn't it? James Toney admitted this in an interview.

        I dn't hink he spunds punchy..that's toney.

        you will notice he has a swollen lower lip (i assume from recent sparring session) which troubles him from time to time in interview.

        he is a lazy talker.

          I dont see where we disagree? I just think he could have been more dedicated with the eating part atleast, Im a Toney fan its not like im not respecting Toney's skill...

            I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just saying why he moved up to heavyweight. In the interview he said something along the lines "I don't have to worry about eating too many hotdogs and pizzas anymore." I'm still trying to find it.

              not wanting an argument or anything, having an eating problem/inability to control eating is lack of dedication in your opinion right?

                It's a lack of dedication and it's a lack of "I can't control my cravings." His manager (that one chick) tried to prevent Toney from going to a Burger King one time. Toney with dedication should be at cruiserweight right now. Toney was undefeated as a cruiserweight.
