I'll agree that this is sad. I can't think of anyone in boxing right now that breathes, bleeds and pisses the sport the way James Toney does. To me he is a boxer 100%. I mean who the fuck in this modern day version of the sport has 80 fucking pro fights??

I guess he's going to UFC coz he can't get a half decent fight in boxing. I'd like to see him in with Tarver, either Klit, Haye or Hopkins. He probably doesn't win many of those fights but I wouldn't mind seeing them.

I can't believe he can't make a fight with any of the above mentioned dudes.

I just hope he doesn't get too damaged in the UFC. I sense this not going to end well for James, but then it doesn't end well for 99% of the guys I like in boxing LOL.
