That was Bill Miller in his corner with him. Bill worked with James after James had turned pro. Bill is the one to thank for James Toney using the shoulder roll as effectively as he does. James never really used it before in the amatuers.

Bill has told me some very interesting stories about James and his training camp practices for the Jones fight. As Bill said, "He deserved to lose that fight....."

Little known fact here.... The guy who started James Toney was a guy named Greg "The Leprechaun" Owens. Very nice man. He started me as well back in the day.
