I'm not a big fan of Calzaghe but he had a better run at 168 than Toney and if they ever had met I would have favored him to win a decision.

How many of you guys are old enough to have remembered Toney at 168?Seems like decades ago when the guy was actually in shape.

At 33 years old I'm old enough to remember my boy, James "lights out" toney, before I began referring to him as James "Restaurants turn the lights out" Toney or "Buffet" James Toney.

James Toney, one of my all-time favorite fighters. Imagine how good he could have been if he lived a BHOP lifestyle.
