And the excuse his fans use is that he didnt train and was overweight!!! well what kinda excuse is that i cant rate a fighter for what he couldave been but for what he did and he never did anything great. Beating not that good fighters in dominating fashion tells me nothing. James Toney couldave been amazing but his poor work ethic and his poor choice of food to eat made him not that good in my eyes.

James Toney is a great boxer, he's one of the few doctors of the sweet science. And his work ethic was very bad near the end of his career when he was using steroids. And beating Sam Peter and a prime RJ are hard things to do, so losing to them is not the end of the world. He's a future HOF member for sure.
