JAMES TONEY: "PACQUIAO IS
NOT ON STEROIDS; FLOYD IS
SCARED TO FIGHT"

"These guys trying to be like me,
but they ain't got the heart to do
what I do. They don't got the
heart to stand there and go toe-
to-toe and slippin' and slide and
come back with shots. They
won't do that. Ain't nobody
doing that. Floyd, he's the closest
thing, but still...My thing is this, if
you doubt yourself, you getting
knocked out. That's the bottom
line. I never doubt myself. When
you get in the ring, it's balls to
the wall baby," stated future Hall-
of-Famer James "Lights Out"
Toney as he shared his thoughts
on today's fighters, namely
Floyd Mayweather Jr., and what
makes them different than old
school fighter like himself.
According to Toney, the only
reason why a megafight
between to the best boxers in
the world isn't going to happen
is because Mayweather doubts
his own ability to defeat the
Filipino superstar.
"If he [Mayweather] could get
through Pacquiao, he should be
fighting him right now. My thing
is this, Manny Pacquiao is not on
steroids. Floyd is scared to fight
this boy because the boy is just
as fast as him," Toney would
explain as he laughed at the
accusations of Pacquiao using
performance-enhancing drugs.
"Everybody making all these
excuses. And then you got Oscar
bringing his ass into this, you
know what I'm saying? Oscar
got knocked out by him
[Pacquiao]. Oscar should know
he's not on steroids because he
got bombed out by him a year
ago."
In fact, Toney believes that if
Manny Pacquiao isn't the only
fighter that Mayweather should
be scared to fight. "Shane's a hell
of a fighter. He's big and he's
strong. It's going to be a hell of a
fight. That fight right there, that
will test Floyd's mental and
physical skills to the fullest tilt,"
Toney added. "We'll see what
he's all about then. Right now, in
my mind, the way Shane looked
that last fight against Margarito a
year ago, hey, Floyd got
problems."
