As much crap as this guy is talking I would like to see him get his azz handed to him first match. Put him in there against someone that will toss him around for a couple rounds and ground and pound him hard to teach some respect.
I think I’d rather see him against someone with some brutal leg kicks, see him quit on the stool between rounds.

Kimbo would have no chance against this guy, am i right?
Unless he has learned some half-ass takedowns at least?
This is a horrible match-up for someone who wants Toney’s ass handed to him…

i agree it is a bad matchup for kimbo,
but it is mma and anything could happen, i didnt give kimbo a chance against houston alexander, Also i wam wondering if the ufc is going to build toney or set him up to get destroyed?
I bet even if they give him a chance to get a little more prepared it won’t make a bit of difference. His response on Inside MMA last week when Bas asked him about preparation wasn’t very convincing. It may just be me, but I figure no matter who he fights, he’s gonna end up swinging for the fences, and either decapitate them, or swiftly get put on his ass. And I don’t see him getting back up either from that position. I’ve seen old fat people fall before.

If MMA “Boxers” have lambasted him, imagine what a real boxer would do.

Well, ok, hopefully he would change his gameplan… He’s a whiz on the ground right? That was the worst flying knee I’ve ever seen BTW. Someone tell him he’s a foot taller than Buentello! He could do a crouching knee and still smash his jaw.

I thought about that…that would be hilarious if he did it again. Then Kimbo would be the boxer-killer. Which means Seth Petruzelli, the Kimbo-killer, should be able to take out that Klitschko guy or whoever he is, right?

Anyone doing anything to Houston Alexander doesn't count IMO.

But, Houston was suppost to beat Kimbo

Kimbo would have very little chance. That’s exactly why James wants this fight. He’s trying to talk his way into an easy payday.

I agree, except Tony will get KTFO.

I don’tthink its all that bad for Kimbo. He wasn’t that arrogent against Mercer. He closed distance and went for a takedown. Kimbo doesn’t have an issue trying for GnP. Only time Kimbo really started punching against Mercer is when Mercer covered up. Kimbo showed that he has some general techniques now for takedowns when fighting Houston Alexander. He’s atleast a year ahead of Toney when it comes to takedowns and takedown defense. Is it a high risk fight for Kimbo? Yeah you bet but everyone expects Kimbo to just simply box with him and I don’t agree at all.
I've always wanted to see a Street fighter vs a Boxer
—aside from playing Tekken 4, Kimbo, on paper, has a punchers chance of beating James Toney. As a fan, I am willing to give James the benefit of the doubt due to his skills and talent that vastly outweight anything Kimbo has done since given the title suffix of ‘Slice’.
However, I doubt Toney is in shape to bang with Kimbo, take the rushing, constant grabbing and being thrown to the cage floor. It will be a one-sided affair.
Advantage: Kimbo

Toney is selling himself short by continually asking for Kimbo. It’s painfully obvious that Kimbo’s never had a ground game and his standup is inadequate, at best, against guys that have had any type of training.
I wouldn’t mind seeing him against Bader, or even Phil Davis. Either of those guys would force him to put up or shut up.
See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DahOLe5z3Ek.
And Kimbo must have learned a thing or two since his first fight.
what’s your rationale behind “it’s obvious” he has no ground game? maybe kimbo has no ground game compared to a machida or a shogun or some of his other LHW peers but against James Toney he should have a pretty good shot at outgrappling him. He’s been training long enough now that he really should have plenty of stuff to use on the ground. He pulled off sweeps from guard vs thompson, he took down Alexander and took his back. does he have the best grappling in his division, or anywhere close? no. but compared to toney… probably

I really don’t want to see a fight where Kimbo has the better ground game.That fight would probably be a sloppy boring mess (a guy with no game trying to defend the subs of a guy with almost no game).
"an excellent example of why most MMA "journalism" is a joke. Pseudonyms like "toxic" and shitty writing like that dopey article"--- Joe Rogan.
Not really
—because when the Toney-Kimbo fight happens. If it’s on PPV, the majority of the people who’re going to buy or watch the fight are going to see Kimbo. Toney is obviously in the UFC for monetary gain. Calling out Kimbo will create a huge buzz.
Pitting these two behemoths together in a cage is great. Not for the sport of MMA, but just for the sport of seeing the “never-was” against the “has-been”.
Toney vs anyone that’s not a big name will be shot dead quick and pushed to the side.

So Toney wants to fight the best, but his calling out Kimbo…

LMAO sadly there are people out there who think Kimbo's the shit...
Those who aren’t that fluent in MMA knowledge…
And Toney probably falls into that category…

No way. Toney knows Kimbo is a watered down version of himself. Kimbo is a street fighter who is a big name that will try and trade punches and sadly personifies MMA for a lot of people.
Toney knows that he can come in with little risk of his deficiencies getting exposed and crush a huge name with his superior boxing.
Its a perfect fight for him.
How did I end up on this bandwagon and why does everything say property of Chael Sonnen?
I know, I know…I don’t think he’s as ignorant as he comes across…
This is going to majorly suck if it happens…
The only good thing that can come from it is the UFC ceasing to market Kimbo.
And i doubt that will happen.

I disagree that Kimbo is simply going to try to trade punches with him. He didn’t do that against the last former boxer he faced. Only really aggressive punches he threw against Mercer was after Ray completely covered up. If this happens I think Kimbo is just going to end up prolonging his hype even longer if he gets Toney on the ground and GnPs him. Kimbo likes to bang but he also doesn’t have a problem throwing the leather when that person is on the ground.
toney
I think the UFC is gonna give toney an easier fight in his first fight. try to exploit his pay per view draw, and then throw him in with the wolves. I d like to see james toney vs. kimbo. after kimbo submits his ass, they throw toney in with couture or forrest. That is when james toney gets his lights out. The only thing james toney is good at is talking shit. Toney is hyping up the Boxing vs. MMA arguement. James Toney is the boxing version of Brock Lesnar. Lesnar came into the UFC talking shit, and produced the best selling UFC pay per view of all time. Look for James Toney to emulate Lesnar. The only difference is Toney will get hurt by a real MMA fighter.
Tony's a pussy
This big bad boxer calling out a no talent like kimbo is so sad

Its smart though. I bet Toney KOs him easily. Gains all that exposure he and the UFC really need from all of this.

agree, but
If he wants to fight the “best” then he should leave Kimbo out of it. But he seems as ignorant as the fans that think Kimbo is good.
I third it.
—but those who are Kimbo fans put him on a mantle the same way Boxing fans do with Pacquiao.
This is what throws MMA in that spectacle category i.e. sideshow. If I was Dana, I wouldn’t of even created the though of a possible James Toney signing. Leave that to Strikeforce.
ESPN, PTI, Around The Horn won’t comment on a GSP or BJ Penn victory, but I gurantee if Kimbo—excuse me, when Kimbo knocks out James Toney. It will be all over ESPN’s First Take, PTI and Around The Horn.

I want to know why we see Toney always running his mouth, yet no video of him actually training. He is always sweating and has some tool behind him running his mouth, how about a video of him showing that he is taking this serious.
I told you not to f*ck with me.
According to Juanito Ibarra
—he’s catching on quite well. Called him a “sponge”.

Wait...
Toney and Kimbo. Which one is the ex-streetfigter? lol Kimbo’s spitting straight philosophy (My inner-me…) while Toney is sounding straight up ghettofied x10. =P

I think I could take the old dude behind him.
Does he have to have someone with him in every video? Please UFC to not give him a gimmy fights. Put him in there with someone that has good hands and great takedowns. I want to see him get brutally beat with those 5 ounce gloves. I want to see him get kicked once and crumble!
Kongo anyone?
Shut up, Tito.

Cigano vs Toney….I want to see a fight, not a homicide.
Toney vs Yvel, Bunetello, Barry, Matyushenko, Kimbo, Pudzianowski.
Unless the UFC wants to sign Ray Mercer, resign Petruzelli or Sean Gannon…
Btw, didn’t Sean Gannon get TKO’d by Branden Hinkle?

as far as top HW’s go, dos santos is actually probably the best fight he could take stylistically. he’s an aggressive puncher that doesn’t seem to care a lot of kicks or takedowns. i dont follow boxing but from what ive heard toney is a defensive boxer… that’s as good as he’s gonna get outside of fighting cans

That would be perfect! I would love that, only Toney might guillotine him lol…

ok how about. .
Toney vs CroCop or Gonzaga.. not sure how relevant either one are at this point.. I’d love to see Toney deal with sum high kicks.. & side check kicks.. LOL.
by woodson28 on Mar 16, 2010 2:59 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
cro cop
let cro cop kick those 41 year old legs that don’t know how to check kicks. Let him hammer this fool with brutal leg kicks and stay out of range of his hands to show him how worthless boxing is against a complete striker. Let this clown get beat by someone who doesn’t even wrestle. Cro cop would knock this guy out on the feet
Oh YEAH!!
Kimbo vs. Toney……perfect match up. It’s going to be a barn burner. The trash talk is going to be great between these two yahoo’s!!
