    Toney declares his weight is fine in recent interview.

    PRESS RELEASE: With a little over one week to go before his destiny match for the World Boxing Association World Heavyweight Championship against WBA world champion John "The Quietman" Ruiz on April 30 at the Mecca of Boxing, Madison Square Garden in New York, James "Light's Out" Toney is declaring himself ready to "rock New York" when he breaks camp this Saturday and heads out to New York with trainers Freddie Roach and John Arthur.

    Toney can't weight to put to rest the constant rumors about his weight and recent injuries. "I've always used other 'expert' opinions as just another source of inspiration. Let people think what they want, come April 30, they will see me in action and declare to the world, James 'Lights Out' Toney is one of the greatest fighters of all time. This is about my destiny, and I've worked very hard at achieving it. Ruiz is in trouble, end of story," said Toney from training camp. "I'm ready, and any nonbelievers are welcome to check me out in 'living color' at the most historic arena in the world, Madison Square Garden, where they will see first hand the devastating abilities of 'Light's Out' Toney. This will be history in the making. I'll be the first heavyweight that went down to the middleweight division and proceeded to capture the titles at middleweight, supermiddleweight and cruiserweight (along with the other titles I've won that the media don't want to recognize). Heavyweight has been and always will be my natural weight---whether you like it or not---I will be the baddest ass heavyweight champion and there is no one that can stop me or I won't fight! No One!"

    "I'm coming for you 'Quietman'. Nothing will stand in my way on April 30th, nothing," growled Toney.

    "I've been with James for many years, and people just don't know him," stated promoter Dan Goossen. "Dare I say he's as lovable as he is dangerous? Once he knows he's scheduled to fight, I have never, ever seen any other fighter be as dedicated to his training than James Toney. He's the most driven, vicious, determined, charismatic, fun fighter I've ever seen in one body. He's just beginning to put his stamp in the heavyweight division, and boxing will be for the better because of it. He will bring boxing back to the masses---he's 'Light's Out'," said a smiling Goossen.

    My second wife always claimed her weight was fine too saying, "I'm big-boned."

    I would reply, "Yeah...you've got big...fat...bones."

        I agree, John Ruiz's days are numbered.

          lol

          I think James Toney is a piece of ****.

          John Ruiz is just a ****ter piece of ****, but that's style-wise.

          If Toney beats Ruiz it will add to his reputation. By no means is Toney "supposed" to beat Ruiz, no matter who might say it.

              NO doubt about it, this is a 2-1 odds fight in Toney's favor, if Don King wasn't involved, I'd bet the house, car, & Wifey on Toney to win by UD, but with the Don involved and Goossen being Toney's main man, I wouldn't be shocked to see a robbery at the Garden with some ridiculous scoring margins....my prediction for the outcome

              Toney by Split Decision, with the cards reading 117-11 Toney (about right), 115-113 Toney (too close), and somethin like 117-111 Ruiz (downright illegal)

                  .....Hey just to make it interesting(even though I think Toney will win) I will bet you straight up wife for wife. If you win you get mine and if I win I get yours(for 3 whole minutes).
