#JamesToney #Detroit
JT was one in a million , one of the most skilled craftsmen to ever lace em up and tough as they come.
James Toney learnt from legends like Ezzard Charles and Jersey Joe Walcott. Amazing fighter.
Ezzard Lewis Frazier that era was really the best era
Both amaaaazing fighters. Jersey Joe is one of my all time favourite fighters!

@Bb yea, didn’t take Jones seriously enough in camp probably, since Toney was running through dudes before him
I trained with James daily and sparred with him numerous times when he was Middleweight and Super Middleweight champion. I have him in my top 5 pound for pound of all time.
Damn haha, that’s crazy. How did those sparring sessions go? Were you a professional boxer?
James Toney vs Carlos Monzon would have been my dream fight to watch. He would have given Monzon fits. James would have been all wrong for Monzon.
Wow Tarick you are a Dearborn legend! I met you at UM Dearborn back in 90s. Much respect. And James Toney most def an Ann Arbor legend!
@@bl6369 🙏❤️👊🏼
@@charlesshankle3178 isn’t your dream fights usually with who u think would b evenly matched?
James toney was one of a kind very special fighter , watching him spar Gerald McClellan was beautiful his defense being patient with beautiful aggresive counterpunching.
Toney is the best I've seen in sports in all my 38 years!
Well damn
What happened when he fight Roy Jones
@@possiblefightscomingup5012 he was out of shape
I day the same. Greatest sports talent p4p . He is so damn special
His fight against Mike Mcallum is the bible of boxing
Maybe the p4p greatest head-to-head matchup to ever occur in real life in all of boxing history, especially in terms of skill and overall boxing IQ/ability? When else in boxing history have two guys the same size both in their primes at the true historic p4p level of Toney and McCallum ever gotten into the ring with one another? Maybe Hearns vs Hagler and Hearns vs Leonard? Or Toney vs Roy Jones and Toney vs Nunn? Ali vs Frazier? Chavez vs Whitaker? Arguello vs Pryor? Maybe these legendary matchups as well. But the point is, it’s extremely rare, and Toney vs McCallum was easily one of the greatest pure boxing matchups to ever occur p4p in the sport’s history
Well said.
@@kirklandau2826 nice ill check it out
James Toney, a pure boxer/fighter/warrior.
James Toney is one of my favorites, watch him fight Holyfield, he gave Holyfield fits,Toney was a exceptional fighter,he struggled with weight but he could box! Was never scared!
Adam Brooks Evander is the GOAT tho Evander always had problems against pure boxers.
I think that James Toney vs Carlos Monzon would have looked a lot like the Holyfield fight. He would have given Monzon fits; he is the one man that would have frustrated Monzon. Hagler and Robinson wouldn't have done it the way James would have.
I can listen to these stories literally all day!

James Lights out Toney is an intelligent fighter. He's one of the best !!!
James Toney was special, he said it petfect, he was offence and defence at the same time.
Thanks for this, James Toney has always been one of my favorite fighters
Love listening to the OGs with their great gym stories

Smart man. Not many left like these guys in boxing today.
Old timer summed it up perfectly, "Poetry in motion" JAMES LIGHTSOUT TONEY..
Last of a true dying breed. The only one doing it today is BUD CRAWLFORD "Terrence" Before him it was Andrei Ward.
In my top 5 of all time, Lightout..
Only Crawford??? Just out of curiosity, then what about Spence and Canelo and Inoue and Lomachenko and Lopez and Usyk and Fury??? Or the Charlo brothers or Devin Haney? Or Gary Russel Jr? Or above all, in terms of pure boxing prowess... SHAKUR STEVENSON?
Spence and Canelo and Inoue and Lopez are tremendous “boxer-punchers” of the highest level. Lomachenko and Shakur Stevenson and Gary Russel Jr are tremendous pure boxers, as are Fury and Usyk by the standards of the heavier weight classes. The Charlo brothers and Devin Haney and the immensely powerful Jaron Ennis are impressively slick and skillful boxer-punchers as well. The rising Vergil Ortiz Jr is like the great Gennady Golovkin in that he’s a great boxer-puncher and swarmer hybrid. Anthony Joshua is a very good boxer puncher as well, by heavyweight standards at least.
Ward shouldn’t be mentioned with Toney. Andre Ward was a boring point boxer.
James Toney was what 5’9 could you imagine if he was at least 6’1
``IS '' 5'9
Truth over Tribalism Wasn’t 100% sure
By ``is'' I mean he's alive, and is 5'9...
"But then he wouldn't be James Toney" - RIP Bill Miller
James Toney was listrd at 5'10 75 inch reach
That Right hand was something terrible! BOWWWW! LEFT HOOK! (TONEY VS JIROV) 😎😁😄
Love being from Detroit and learning and training in the new kronk gym now it’s always good learning about the old gym
My favorite fighter of all time! I wanted to be just like him as a kid! I think at 5'9 he would have been best as a Heavyweight at 180lbs lean or 200-205 VERY soft at the most without PED's. Mike Nunn v Toney definitely in the running for my Favorite fight too!
SWITCH to southpaw on the fly inside lights out was bad ass!!!!
His original stance was southpaw according to James Toney
@@qward2174 I see that In a new elite fighter name Boots Ennis to have punching power from both stance on the fly and fight inside with combinations , Balance ,IQ and ring generalship but most of all his ability to defensive counter punch catch and shoot this boxer is well trained by his father brilliant!!!
This man has great boxing wisdom and a great memory for minor details that became major facts.
JAMES USE TO RUN HE DIDNT JOG HE PRACTICALLY SPRINTED FOR FOUR MILES I TAN WITH HIM TO PUT IT SIMPLE IT WAS AND WILL ONLY BE ONE JAMES LIGHTS OUT TONEY NO ONE COULD SIT IN THE POCKET LIKE HIM IN HISTORY PERIOD HE THE GREATEST AT WHAT DID PERIOD!!! Light out Baby
JAMES TONEYYYYY!!!
Best complements I ever heard, what a nice gentleman. Great video.
James Toney is also first cousins to Shaq O`Neal.
amck72 yep
They actually do look vaguely similar now that I think about it
One of my alltime favorite fighters. So crafty and nasty.
Toney-McCallum is the best tactical boxing match ever
This man is a credit to boxing. A true gentleman.
Top 3 all time James Tony
lucky to hv seen him fight live a few times
James toney was one of the best to ever do it.
Guess what? This guy is the man. 🥊
I love to hear old stories about James Toney. He was such a great talent👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

Great interview!!!
Toney woulda been fine as a heavyweight in that era of turmoil but unfortunately he used the division having no weight limit as a means to eat whatever and whenever he pleased. If he weighed 210 lbs none of those heavyweights woulda hit him
Old School training. Guys like Louis, Charles, and Robinson would spar EVERY DAY (albeit only about 3-6 rounds a day)
Road work is a waste of time..boxers need to get rid of it unless you enjoy it, it causes unnecessary injuries...instead do some interval sprinting on grass and spend your time more effectively in the ring and doing circuit training..
Imran Ali Roadwork is by far the most important part of your training next to sparring
@@hassanx9423 lmao, you took the words out of my mouth it keeps your cardio and conditioning up.
Lmao
@@hassanx9423 James Toney didn't do it neither did Wilder. So clearly it isnt 'by far the most important thing in boxing training '!!
@@ImranAli-tm3rq James tony admitted he was too lazy to do all that stuff so instead would spar everyday to get in shape
One of the best James "lights out" Toney
James Toney is an Ann Arbor Legend. Huron high school.
I have him up on my list as well. I would love to meet him
The worst delivery driver in the history of deliveries had to work during this interview, my dude had to back up his truck during the whole interview
Great enter view, I forget coach name but he was very accurate on everything he spoke about James toney and boxing. But what I asked if you can do and interview with the sons of the second coach he spoke of. Keith Lee who recently passed away, so is not able to speak on a lot of the James toney topic. He also had several other fighters that he turned into world champions. And his name should be brought up in a lot of conversations. Especially around the Detroit Mich area He’s a legendary coach. And I would love If you did a segment about him. His coaching Defense styles and techniques . He also had a son that he coach that box professionally Keith Lee jr. That still live in the city, also three others that boxed. And one the coaches now marcus Phillip Lee.
JT freakishl talent. Overlooked and underrated except by boxing purists. Up there with all time greats.
Dream Fight Toney Vs Haggler
Toney was so good, he could literally roll out of bed and make a fight
James “Holla at your boy” Toney
No disrespect, but this ain't exactly the way it was. There was a white guy named Greg that he started out with , and before Jackie was Johnny Ace rip. Toney ended up being a Great fighter no doubt and one of the best ever, but, I know a bit about it . Toney would come to Livonia to train some.He was at 8th St on Weddel when he was with Johnny Ace. Clarence Adams was running it and his sons Tank and Bones in training. Smitty was training fighters with his "mock" boxing technique. Vince Hopper rip, Spencer Chavis, John Hanna, Hurley Sneed, Jeff Styers were there . To my memory, he went back to Livonia a bit to spar, then Jackie opened a Gym on 5 mile in Redford. Jackie was a Great manager and Toney a great fighter, but let's not forget Greg.
James Toney vs Carlos Monzon would have been my dream fight. It would have been a true chess match. He is the one guy outside of Robinson or Hagler that would cause Carlos real problems.
All these current fighters well at least most of them anyway just a name a few, tank/Charlo/Crawford/Spence/Haney/and I’m sure I’m leaving a few people out. They talk the talk by James walk the walk and he truly would fight anybody anytime. Just to name a few fighters that are active that I feel would fight any time, Sean Porter early on, Loma, fury, cotto, Gatti, Holyfield, corrales, Tyson & of course the Pac
Jackie gym was the galaxy I was there
James Toney enters doors sideways with a high shoulder
Do u want an interview with Tim witherspoon (2x heavyweight champ)?
👍👍
had. no idea stacey started with Toney
detroit dudes are just different and its not the philly shell michigan is where you learn that! you see kids doing it on the playground well before social media anyway lol
#DETROIT_BOXING #BUTZEL_REC #JAMES_TONEY
Steak knifes are not really that sharp but ok 👀
It was just a poorly made analogy lol
Compared to a butter knife.... And go work at a butcher shop!
Imagine a vegan James Toney 🤯
Having seen him chowing down at some BBQs/meals, I don't know if I can.
Wonder what this guy's name is? I started my boxing career(if you can call it that) and I know several of the names names of the coaches he rattled off.
I wish joshua can learn from James toney
Love this. Just had magnificent fluidity. And his mum taught him to make great wee cakes. I am Scottish
James was just business.
AJ ain’t gonna learn now, it’s too late now. He’s stuck with that amateur trainer with amateur skills. He has never been taught pro skills. So he’s hardly improved since turning pro. As soon as things got more complex and high level he is lost
Talking about my favorite boxer , straight bully .
James Toney should not be allowed in any Boxing Gym, unless he is giving up secrets and teaching his style!!!! Waaaaay tooo much knowledge and skill too just go away!!! Shoulder-rolled better than Floyd, just didn’t have the discipline like Floyd!!!
toney was overrated and AJ didn't get caught with a lucky punch, he got his ass whooped and quit.
Toney was overrated?? Stop selling your medicine and use it🥊💥😵
He's one of the Greatest fighters of all time look up his history in his prime he was beautiful too watch!!
BOOOOORRRRRRRRIIIIINNNGGGGGG
