Guest Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Has anybody heard about James 'Lights out' Toney (heavyweight boxer) calling out dana white for his MMA debut.. dana offered this chump 500k!! to fight his debut.. which even the ufc champs dont get that much and James Toney turned him down and is claiming he wants $2m for 1 fight.. dont get me wrong id love to see this guy fight in MMA hes a outstanding boxer but id love to see him get dumped on his ass and chokes or pounded out.. Hes been calling out Brock, Randy and even Kimbo (now thats just embarrassing a ex champ in numerous weight classes with a record of 70-6-3-1 and 43 KO's calling out a ex street brawler..) He maybe a devastating machine on his feet but MMA is a whole different game.. What do you think about this guy? This is the video i saw of him calling people out.. lool http://www.lowkick.com/UFC/James-Lights-Ou...Fight-Soup-6408 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misfire200 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Well as for the money issue, you have to remember how much top boxers make compared to top mma fighters. That 500k is crap pay if he compares it to what he made as a boxer. And he would be a very good draw as it would bring some boxing fans over to watch it on ppv.

Guest Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 He should stay with boxing and standup comedy. There is no fun in see him get put on his ass and quickly pounded out every fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bananasplits Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 James Toney WAS excellent, he still is dangerous, he COULD get the odd win if carefully matched. But this is about money and showing mma to be better than boxing so I imagine he gets a takedown beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 He's pretty feather fisted at heavyweight. Maybe if he could drop down to MW and stop being such a fatso he'd be good, if he took MMA seriously and spent a year training - both of which arent going to happen so he will get owned against anyone decent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 I would like to see him fight and then lose by ko or sub,b/c if it's decision he's gonna say he should've won i would like to see him get his ass handed to him,i mean i don't want him to land a single punch.

Guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Toney isn't feather firsted anywhere. Nobody expects Toney to be successful, not even Toney. Everybody expects Toney to earn, especially Toney. If Toney can't earn more in MMA than he's going to stick with boxing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 well i think we might see a one glove jimmerson issue going on with toney... straight to takedown toney does have great movement, head movement and he uses a shell really nicely, but blocking with your shoulders has some defensive limitations especially against kicks... toney would be doing it for the cash... he was never the fittest boxer in the ring but was up there with skill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravener Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Wow, just a few days ago Toney was calling Dana names and saying he wouldn't fight for chump change. I guess they better get Houston Alexander out of whatever local circuit he's fighting in. Any real fighter is going to drop Toney on his head and finish him in the first. Bank it.

bc Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Toney is a great boxer, but MMA is a different sport. He'll get killed by any decent fighter with any sort of ground game -- just like he'd kill almost all MMA guys is a straight boxing match. Let's face it -- this was done to pique interest and generate money. My guess is the UFC will give him the Kimbo Slice treatment -- feed him a couple of straight stand-up guys who won't be able to take the fight to the mat. Under those conditions, Toney will likely pick up a couple of wins before the UFC has him headline against a good MMA fighter. At which point he'll get massacred and the experiment will be over. Of course it's also possible that Dana will want to prove a point and treat Toney as a one-time attraction. He'll put Toney in against a legit MMA fighter and watch Toney get annihilated. Then White can talk smack about how much better MMA is than boxing. I guess it all depends on whether White wants to make a boatload of cash in the short term by building Toney up a bit or he wants to prove a point and have somebody wipe out Toney right away. But either way, this is sure to generate quite a bit of mainstream press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 apparently Couture wants to fight him first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I really hope Toney gets his ass kicked badly in all of his freakshow fights. He was only signed because there was a chance of him joining Strikeforce to fight Hershel Walker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Here's what happens. They give him a striker or two. Strikers who have no wrestling of course. Then maybe a wrestler who has no striking. Now cue real fighter that destroys him. It's good buisness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
