James Tony wants Brock first- calls out others

Toney is slow and has a bad style to convert to MMA. Brandon Vera for instance would pick him apart with leg kicks and maul him in the clinch with knees.


I think it is understated how badly a true MMA striker would beat down a boxer in a cage.

This is true with Vera. That would really be a bad matchup for Toney. Depends on who Dana wants to give him. I honestly think he might do halfway decent against some of the "Brawlers" in the HW division. And I'm not even talking about kimbo, Toney would knock Kimbo into next week. Of course that doesn't leave too many guys for him to fight but who knows. He might be able to get in on one of these guys that throw loopy punches. I think of Mercer vs Timmy. Hopefully Dana gives Toney a bad matchup and puts an end to this freakshow before it starts becasue he might make someone look stupid. He's slow but the power is prolly still there

if Struve loses to big country I can see him being Toney's first fight. Struve has some good strikes but nothing that should overwhelm Toney.

Him fighting Struve doesn't scare me. Struve has good length and would easily sub him on the ground. I'm thinking along the lines of Yvel, Rothwell, and maybe Buentello. Toney might embarrass one of those guys. JMO

Yvel and Buentello embarrass themselves

All those guys would beat him standing. Watch this dude fight.

If you had to pick the one boxer who could easily lose 10 of 10 K1 fights, it would be him.

Worst MMA boxing style of all time.

Brock would "mask" Toney in 1 minute

Mask definition - see Frank Mir's face after 2nd fight

Toney does still have speed and with 4 oz gloves might be able to put some lights out again but I agree his style is horrible for MMA. That bobbing, weaving peak a boo style of trying to out score will not work in MMA.
