    James Toney: Teaching Heavyweights To Fight Since 2003

    These are desperate times. The allure of the heavyweight championship, supposedly the greatest prize in sport, was not enough to prevent Vitali Klitschko, a mediocre fighter at best, from abdicating it and millions of dollars in favor of political ambition. Our collective lamentation of this was pitiful not because of the loss of Klitschko, but for the continued exposure of the heavyweight division’s sheer desolation. Enter James Toney, exhibiting a throwback style no longer lost to flickering film and black and white snapshots, but brought into living color and much needed in a division struggling to maintain a sense of itself.

    In all but natural size, he is inferior to Toney, yet is charged with the task of putting Toney in his place. Indeed, it is Toney’s performance that will discern the rightful order of things. Rahman has never faced a fighter of Toney’s caliber before, and after Saturday, whether by retirement or good sense, he will never have to again.

    I'm sorry, but Rahman has faced Lewis, who is twice the boxer Toney is, so what a load of ****e.

      The above is one of the worst statements I've ever heard. Toney is a great boxer with great instincts. Lewis was awkward and unsteady. Lewis had a decent jab that was at times lazy and he couldn't slip punches or move like Toney.

          I'm British myself so I understand somewhat the loyalty to Lewis, but he was a straight forward boxer-puncher, not a class technician like Toney. Lewis never had anything like the versatile skill or defense that Toney possesses to this day when he seems past his best days.

          To say that Lewis was half the boxer Toney is, is totally absurd.

            I meant as a heavyweight, I should of been a little clearer.

                Sorry man....I'm going to have to disagree. Lewis' boxing skill was nowhere near the level of Toney's. Toney counterpunches better, has better defensive skills, and is much smarter in the ring.

                  And don't be fooled by what you saw on Saturday night and believe that you should base your conclusion of Toney on that.
