Retro thread: James Toney: "There will never be a White Heavyweight Champion"

[Streetpride]

Trash talk,it doesnt really matter if the cat is balck or white.but what matters is how to catch the mouse.

[eazy_mas]

What I don't get is that how Toney, an obviously very intelligent fighter and man, can say all this crap.

I think Toney is P4P best technical boxer, and I like him a lot, but this stuff he said was low.

That is why I was soo happy when he lost.

Even if he is robbed makes it better. It like people in boxing business dont want to make him a HW champ.

A guy talks **** 99.9% of the time derseve it. I just wish some of those champ will KO Toney into his mescry.

I agree with you on the tech part.

[T.N.T]

I am not a fan of any of the champs out there by any means but lets get it straight i think Toney is just pissed that they have accomplished something he hasn't oh and there all white.

[MaYaN_SuN]

lol Toney isn't, Toney is FARRRRRRR from intelligent..as a fighter and as a man. As a fighter, he just get's sloppy fat and capitalizes on his lil fast arms with medicore heavyweight's with big slow arm's and as a man...well, hes a mumbling moron. didn't this guy get caught for juicin up before fight's?

People **** on Barry Bond's for takin roids, but why hasnt the pressure been applied been applied to boxers?

[sleazyfellow]

like many i dont really like toneys attitude either but at least hes an exciting fighter, unlike 99% of the rest of the heavys, but his ****talking gets pretty ****** at times. Toney can talk down to all the heavys but not win at heavy convincingly, he needs to gain more power to his punches in order to win, which i dont see him doing anytime in the near future cause of his sloppy training and poor conditioning, but its just like all the other heavys as of late, just enough to get by....

I don't see a white heavyweight champ

Hi, James ....

[Shanus]

does toney mean a white american heavy cause all 4 now are white maybe thats what he ment

White is white, man.

[BloodClot]

James Toney is like most black ppl, a racist punk. Thats ok, we have 4 white beltholders, and I'm sure the next recognized champ will also be white. James Toney is a nobody that has always come up short in his biggest fights. Well, at least he won at cruiser and supermiddle, the two no-mans land divisions of boxing...yeah HOF my whiteass

Most blacks are not racist! but every race and people can be racist at times.

James Toney is not racist at all, if anything he said that was racist was what he said to Peter, not this old article that Toney haters like to bring up again!

BTW Toney is an all time great, that is if you know anything about boxing!

"There isn't going to be a white heavyweight champ, unless you see him Europe... and that's real."

no offense guys but the only reading most of you do is the back of a cracker jack box

dont take **** outta contex just because sam peters couldnt get the job done ok? maybe next time but not this time

as for the whole racism thing...whos more racist ..james toney who calls out the promoters for trying to create a great white hope because thats exactly who he was directing that at

or is it the promoters who have brought us such "greats" as tommy morrison ..gerry cooney...andrew golota

if anyones racist its not toney its the promoters
