    He tried to take many dives and make many hugs but that did not work.

    Toney is the ultimate boxer, the best boxer I have seen in terms of skill.

    id say hes the best hw in terms of skill, but definitly not overall

      I think Toney is class. I don't like what he says but his skills are that of a master. He truly is a boxing machine. I hope he does get another crack at the title!

        word, james toney is the only heavyweight with a chance to unify the division.

          Ruiz in shape with his normal style can beat Toney by UD and on their fight had success in the first half. But Ruiz finally fell to the call of his detractors who want him to brawl instead of hug and so he lost. Toney is interesting to watch at heavyweight but he will lose if he steps it up. Problem is, there are only a couple guys whihc could be considered "stepping it up" in this crap division. Either Klitschko would take him easily and Brock and Brewster would have a fair chance as well.
          Toney hasn't faded, this guy is a classic...thats what he is. He was born to fight...
