Toney adds to Heavyweight Divisions sad shape

[Bombardier]

It seems as though Mr. Toney demonstrated the type of class that one might expect from such a seasoned sophisticate. He said, and I quote: "(Ruiz) is ******. But I take my hat off to him for giving me a shot." Perhaps the Heavyweight division got exactly what it needed to help improve its pathetic state: a first-rate degenerate as its spokesman. Ruiz should be ashamed of himself for loosing to a guy who looks like the type of person who takes your garbage from the curb. The heavyweights are a joke. It needs an Ali type star now more than ever to restore it back to some resemblance of a sport.

So you're saying that Ali wasn't a trash talker

Just to refresh your memory, when Ali fought against Liston people wanted him to lose. This might not sound like a big deal except that Liston himself was thought of as a degenerate thug, and when he fought Patterson people (even the President) pleaded with him to win and keep the titles away from Liston. So it's not like people were in love with the guy.

Just what world do so many of you live in ?
These dudes are FIGHTERS......& trash-talking is part of the game.


If you're looking for sophisticates & gentlemen.....why the hell are you watching boxing ?

Watch Equestrian, ladies.

yes i am talking about that boring, fat lazy Wba Hw Champion of the world who has now won 4 titles in 4 different weight classes, how many fighters do know can say they have accomplished as much as that fat guy?

Wow, he beat John Ruiz.

Disregard the fact that you love him for a few seconds.. You can not honestly say that the fighter you saw win a 'belt' on the weekend looked great. He was fighting Ruiz, and looked ordinary.

I think he's been a great fighter. But I didn't see a great fighter the other day.

All I heard before the fight was Toney's a bum, Ruiz will knock him out and on and on. Now he beats Ruiz and its oh well Ruiz sucks. And just a note, moving up from middleweight to win a heavyweight title is an accomplishment no matter who you fight.

You didn't hear that from me. My only worry was that Toney would run out of gas.
Ruiz does suck, will always suck and always did suck.

Most garbage men can fight, so this should not be a surprise to most people. Anyway....what's a boxer supposed to look like anyway?

Yeah that true, you said Toney would win but alot were picking Ruiz.

I don't get Colonel Jones, what does he want a boxer to be like? This isn't golf.

A similar thing happened when Margarito beat Cintron. All the week before Cintron was a bum, but then when Margartio beat him suddenly he was the greatest fighter since sliced bread because he beat the guy. And Zab was a nobody because he only beat, oh, I don't know, the undisputed champ of the division.

The thing is that the haters will always hate a guy...at least that's the way it is with a lot of the guys in this forum.
