    no, this was "news" on *********, no press, if anything Joe gave the notice to the press..

      Joe shouldn't be calling out fights that are almost impossible to make (unless he were willing to move up to heavyweight) but it does make what he said funny nonetheless.

        It's not funny at all, becuase he has zero intention of backing it up.

        Like I said, the door at the Wild Card gym is open. Ask Danny Green.

        If he feels this way, fly to LA and head down to the Wild Card.

        lol.

          Toney is luckly that Calzaghe didn`t offer him the fight at heavyweight. How could Toney have refused that?

            lol, Lucky?

            Calzaghe would have been wrecked by Toney at any point in his career, especially now.

            You think Joe's slapping would have any effect on Toney at present?

            And the power that Toney has at Heavyweight would send joe to la la land.

              At heavyweight, Toney's regressing handspeed and activity level could HURT him against a quick guy like Joe. However, if James and Joe fought at say 190, I think Toney could really be competitive.

              I think quick guys who are smart boxers can beat Toney based on style, which is why I'd favor Joe over Toney. I don't question Toney's power at 237 compared to Joe, but I question his effectiveness these days with all his buffet-eating and injuries.

                I think Calzaghe would dance around Toney all night and outpoint him!

                    lol, the whole reason he didn't offer to fight him at Heavyweight is because he has no true interest in the fight. That speaks for itself, and makes him a punk.

                      If Joe offered to fight Toney anywhere below 190, I think we'd have to consider that offer to not be genuine.
