Is James Toney going to UFC good for boxing?

[AddiX]

I don't think he goes 2 rounds, Honestly, he probably isnt even training.

Not only that but they are putting him against a pure wrestler. This is another sideshow added to UFC's lineup of side shows including Brock and Kimbo, and the rest of the dead beat athletes in MMA.

And no, I'm not an MMA hater, but the circus stuff is getting ridiculous.

^ well said. Even though he's well past his prime i've always kinda wanted to see how a good boxer would do in mma.

I've always liked toney. Hopefully he comes in shape.

[Don Flamenco]

It's not. He is getting fed to the wolves so some hick from middle America (**** yeah!) can think that MMA athletes are better than boxers.

James is old and punch drunk. He needs to just retire.

[Kakutogi-Gumi]

There's wrestling on the coasts as well.

And if you guys think this is a joke, well, Toney should have kept his mouth shut.

i hope your wrong there larry LOL

Well....Juanito Ibarra is really know for his grappling athletes. If he does have one, it's news to me cause Ibarra has never had an answer for Dave Camarillo.

[Giovanni18]

they are hyping him as a 4 time champ..and hes gonna enter the ring with his belly hanging over his trunks

yup...gonna be embarrassing for boxing and MMA

[Ravishing]

What i think is ... yes. I think its great. If James comes out with a devastating KO over Randy Couture it could draw many MMA fans over to boxing.



Lets just hope James doesnt mess this one up.

You're buggin...

Randy takes him down, doesn't let him get up and Tony gets gassed like hell. Yea, James has a puncher's chance, but Randy's not that naive to believe Tony can't hurt him with a punch.

No, it can't be bad, if he win, we can say, look what a FAT, shot Toney did to Couture. If he lose, we'll have to say, it proves nothing, Toney was fat and shot, had difficulty to beat a journey man in Fres Oquendo (2 years ago). So it's a win-win situation.

I was hoping that they would of put Tony in winable fight to start out with but looks like the UFC is just putting him in with someone who's just gonna shut him up for good.

Why does boxing have to win or lose anything? When are you guys gonna realize that boxing and MMA have almost nothing to do with each other?
