He was a good boxer, but I'm going to forever remember him as the dude that talked shit about MMA fighters and then got obliterated when by Randy Couture when he tried to step in the Octagon.

Really? That's how you're going to remember James Toney? Not for his fight of the year v Vassily Jirov? Not for mastering the shoulder roll before Floyd popularized it. Not for being the no.1 middleweight in the world at one point? But for this?

Yep. All that shit is cool, but it kinda falls to the side when you talk extreme shit and then get your ass demolished in like 10 seconds. It was so stupid.

Smh he was old and washed up at that point. That's like saying you remember Roy Jones Jr for getting KTFO by Enzo Maccaranelli instead of ruling the sport for 10 years

It's not just the fact that he got demolished. That was a given. He had no grappling experience, and they fed him to a former champion whose specialty was wrestling. Dana meant to make an example of him. The problem was how much of an idiot Toney made out of himself leading up to the fight. He was a great boxer, but he basically left the spotlight making an ass out of himself.
