    what really happened to james toney

    did his weight gain come from completely binge eating or did just grow in to becoming a heavyweight

    and do u guys think he did it purposely

    was it lack of discipline, lack of roadwork, poor diet or all in between plus just growing?

    im not sure

    i think he was very talented in the higher weights although he carried fat it was out of place, arreloa style

      He sparred. That's all he did. His training camps were just sparring sessions with the occasional sprinkle of exercise

        Toney was long rumoured to be lazy and he never enjoyed the training side of things, so as he moved up in weight, he just got lazier and fatter.

          He sparred 10 rounds 6 days a week. You get good at fighting, by fighting.

          He also had some sort of estrogen and thyroid problem.

          Like the man said "This is boxing, not bodybuilding."

            I don't think he did much roadwork, he mainly loved to spar.

                  James is old school

                  Everything boxing james is a master

                  Lights outs issue was and is
                  Conditioning as an overall athlete.
                  Running ,exercises,plyometrics,agility drills


                  His mind set was to practice boxing only
                  But he neglected his endurance training .
                  He didnt like bringing in any new school
                  Methods.
                  His old school style and flow of things needs and needed to be very active and if not , you get better at your craft
                  While not getting paid. And your neglecting to stay in shape
                  Therefore you need to get in shape.
                  If only he had hopkins out of ring work ethic

                  Even with all of that james is a ATG.
                  James bad arce toney . Mr lights out
