        All-time great. He just struggled with discipline and keeping in shape. Hung around HW division too long. If he could have controlled his weight he could have ruled the LHW and CW divisions with ease.

          Sorry guys but amongst all the love here for James you seem to conveniently overlook his multiple failed steroid tests?

          Even in an era of laughable testing protocols, he was exposed as a cheater and that HAS to tarnish his "legacy".

          I have followed Toney's career from him being a middleweight and there were obvious signs that he was juicing well before he even got caught IMO.

            He was great then he started slacking off and putting on pounds. I wish he would of stayed focus, could of been even better imagine that!

                  I think now is as good a time as any to point out that he has another fight scheduled, for May 13th against Mike Sheppard (24-20-2).
