    Get it right, an old ex-boxers who may think that mma, 3, five minute rounds is easier than going 10 to12 three minute rounds on their feet.

    Dont bang on Dana boxer boys, James's mouth put him in this situation & if he gets low level competition, you wont have a lot to worry about IMO.

    No sense down playing Toney now to make yourselves seem credible.

    Didnt recognize you from the new pic URHYPE!

    Im right with you, It would shut up alot of boxing fans if he gets totally beat down in ANY way.. But since he said "grappling was for fags" , he can get the shit choked out of him for all I care....

    how is grappling for fags, you can kill someone by choking them out or snap off a limb

    I dont think Dana want to put him in with someone that out classes him which will be hard to find a guy who dosent in the ufc if Toney gets destroyed Dana wont see much return on his investment after the first fight.

    This is a lose - lose situation for MMA - If he looses the boxing community will say he was past his best and not representitive of top level boxers: If he wins the boxing community will be shouting from the rooftops how much tougher boxers are than mma fighters

    It's checkers versus chess... The best Chess player probably cannot beat the best checkers player at checkers. It doesn't change the reality that Chess requires a brain and more skill and more ability and more strategy and more technique.

    Toney has the advantage on his feet. On the ground he is nothing. Anyone who goes against needs to take him down and pound on him..

    Hey, now everyone seems to believe boxers have the advantage on the feet, I strongly disagree!...the angles and movements boxers have will be their weakness, theyr not used to 1,2 headkick combos or anything like that AND if they try to duck down, theyr getting a knee in the face......Have you ever seen a kickboxer fight a Boxer?? its a good example of what would happen...(I Posted an example @ the bottom Ray Mercer vs Remy Bonjasky) ..And Sure not all MMA fighters are K-1 level strikers...BUT some ARE wicked strikers, with Karate,Kickboxing etc, backgrounds. can you see Shogun, Lyoto, Cro Cop, Overeem, Liddell, or even Fedor get outstruck by Toney? MMA fighters are not stupid they arent going to go in and Box with a boxer...theyd mix it up. I bet you $1,000 Nate Marquardt would **** Toney up standing....check out the vid!

    this ones a bit longer, but good to see what would happen if James Toney fought an MMA fighter with decent or high level kickboxing/Karate/Muay Thai skills

    WHOEVER YOU GIVE HIM, MAKE SURE HE IS NASTY, BONNER WOULD BE NICE FOR HIS FIRST FIGHT HE WOULD STAND UP BUT KNOW HE COULD GO TO THE GROUND AT ANYTIME. I THINK MIR WILL LOSE AGAINST CARWIN, SO AS FIGHT No2 GIVE HIM TO FRANK WHO WILL SNAP HIS ARMS OFF AND RETIRE HIM. YOU CANT LET THIS GOB SH*T WIN EVEN ONE FIGHT.
