            I wanted to check exactly how many fights toney went unbeaten (46) so I went to boxrec and I found out something funny, toney weighed in at 226 in a fight in 2001 and... at 200 at a fight in 1996

            I think that if toney would have been more disciplined, a lot of people in the 3rd world would not being starving

              Haha...see now i think Toney jokes like that are funny. Posting pictures of fat guys and apes and saying that James would eat everything on the face of the earth...not so funny.

                  I've been watching Toney for years, before he was the middleweight champ. He always did the mongoose defense. Yea some fights you didn't see it too much.

                    Toney uses alot of old school techniques and blends them with modern strategy...kinda cool. At least it looks cool
