Toney is Right, Dana is embarrassing MMA
Even entertaining the idea of putting Toney in the UFC is an embarrassment to the sport.
is “f***ing scared” of James Toney
Well duh! It’s James Toney!
"Honey i forgot to duck" - Jack Dempsey
Just the other day he was going off about how Vitali is scared of him too
Because if there’s a fight I can think of that would be pure excitement and that all the networks would want to buy, it’s James Toney versus Vitali Klitschko.

EVERYBODYS TALKIN'
Yeah Brick I know what you’re sayin’ i can’t talk to one of my fight buddys or go to a gym that everybodys not talkin’ about JT. Whos Toney fightin’ next, when can we see James? JT was a helluva fighter and could still give some top 20 guys trouble, but he doesn’t command big money just from his name, similar to Evander, those days are gone. There is a niche for you still, accept it or move on James. Hopefully you were smart with your money. Peace!!
The money line in the Toney article is the part about how Hopkins banned him from attending the Jones / Hopkins presser. Damn! That would have been fun!
Boxing writer: "Iran, what are you going to do when you retire?"
Iran Barkley: "Rob your house"
I think the money is Percy Crawford then concluding that Hopkins-Jones needs James Toney’s help. Because you know, they’re on PPV with serious backing, and James Toney hasn’t been on a major network in three years. But James Toney is the man!!!!!!!!!!
