Is This True Has Anyone Else Heard This

I think the only news is that he's cleared to fight again.

Getting the belt back is just a rumor. It would be all over ********* and ********** if that was the case.

Thats what I thought but if he tested negative after all wouldnt he get it back? Do you think he will end up being the champ again from this?

If a lousy 3 month suspension is supposed to send the mess. that using steroids is not tolerated then it failed miserably. Most fighters go longer than that inbetween fights anyway...wheres the lesson?

according to this sites article, toney is testing neg. NOW..not then. And cause of that he's being cleared to fight again.

So that means he wont be champ again?

From what I understood of the article, only if he beats the current champ. I could have it wrong (wouldnt be the first time) but apparently he's clean NOW, which is the reason the suspension was dropped or whatever. I'd say the Ruiz camp would have an absolute hissy fit if they took the belt that way....and make a mess situation extremely ugly. Hopefully, Ruiz will face off with him again in the near future and toney can win that belt back!

Damn.. Well though read the article the first kid wrote on here and it says the yare reversing the decision back to a win for Toney and giving him the title... so is there hope for him getting it back.

Maybe, but I really doubt it. Maybe Rick and co. will put up a final word on it soon.

If they fight again, Ruiz won't make it to the final bell imo.

Yeah, I think they just tested him for reinstatement and if he was negative he would be able to box again not get the title back. Ruiz is a ***** and knows Toney would beat him in a rematch. I don't think he would fight Toney again unless Don King can make it happen. I just remember that ****** letter that Ruiz wrote in regards to a Toney rematch and he basically said he didn't think James deserved a rematch since he cheated the first time. Oh well at least James can fight someone else with a title... if they risk facing him of course.

So if Toney's win over Ruiz is legit, and then he goes on to fight Byrd (who beat Vitali, the guy most people consider #1), wouldn't that make the winner of a Byrd vs. Toney the real heavyweight champ? This would be awesome because it would force Vitali to establish his credibility, huraaaaah!
