    --- Two Ton had shape alright and plenty of it.

    I doubt he did much running or traditional boxing exercises other than bag work. He stayed in fight shape with constant sparring no matter the jelly rolls.

    I remember he challenged the press to a spar after taking one too many weight questions, a bully turning on them and he cowered them.

    Had I been there, I'd have volunteered in a heartbeat. I've no doubt he's faster than he looks, but there's a tape with a young Danny Green tattooing him for uncounted rounds as Toney walks thru everything, profaning him every step of the way. That was a shutout by green against a guy at least 60 lbs bigger, so he could be had.

        One thing to keep in mind, Toney only had about 35 amateur fights before turning pro. He didn't have that amateur/Olympic pedigree that many other fighters had. Toney had a tremendous amount of potential, but he suffered from discipline problems outside the ring, particularly his weight and training camps. His best performances were against Barkley and Jirov. I would add Ruiz but the PED violation cost him the fight and his title.
        I only saw him have a couple amateur bouts, maybe two or three. (I forget) I did hear that he had pulled down the National P.A.L though. I truly believe 35 is stretching it ..…..Rockin'
