	James Toney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		James "Lights-Out" Toney (born August 24, 1968) is a professional boxer from Detroit, Michigan and is a Huron High School alumnus in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
		Toney was also subject to a civil lawsuit by Ruiz claiming that Toney's illegal use of steroids gave him a huge edge in the fight; especially in light of his sluggish performance against Hasim Rahman (whom Ruiz had already beaten) in his most recent fight.
		Toney also defends that the steroids were given to him by a doctor to treat an injured arm that occurred during his victory over Rydell Booker in his previous fight.

	JAMES TONEY
		Former WBA champion James Toney (68-4-2, 43 KO) and current IBF titlist Chris Byrd (38-2-1, 20 KO) are featured in a pair of twelve-round bouts against Dominick Guinn and DaVaryll Williamson, respectively.
		Toney's camp argued that he had taken certain substances prior to the fight for rehabilitation purposes to help him recover from torn biceps and triceps muscles.
		While Toney remains a viable player in the division, Guinn is looking at what may be his last chance to prove himself after having fallen far from grace in the past eighteen months.

		James won the WBA heavyweight world title on April 30, 2005, with a 12-round decision against defending champion John Ruiz, but tested positive for the steroid nandrolone in the post-fight drug test.
		James had torn the biceps and triceps muscles in his left arm in his previous fight in September, 2003, against Rydell Booker and underwent surgery two days later.
		James was very strong and muscular in the fight, but in the Ruiz fight he wasn't, because I got him off the weights pretty much, and just got him to use his speed and his ability.

	BraggingRightsCorner.com - "James Toney Back in the Limelight"... by Stephen Jones
		James Toney was now a middleweight boxer with some stability and aims in his life, which might steer him away from the nasty temptations of his unsavory past.
		James would slowly become established as an awkward boxer with tenacious power, power that would earn him his moniker, 'Lights Out.' James 'Lights Out' Toney would remain unbeaten for three years with a single draw in 1990 against rough journeyman Sanderline Williams, a draw he would avenge three months later.
		February 1997 Toney took his first baby steps up to Cruiserweight and engaged in a third fight with Mike McCallum where both men were visually overweight, victorious none the less, James battled the bulge 3 months later in one final shot at light heavyweight.

	HBO: Boxing: Event: Hasim Rahman vs. James Toney: THE RESURRECTION OF JAMES TONEY
		Toney burst on the fight scene in 1988, and was schooled to be a consummate fighter in the toughest, most unforgiving gym in history, Emanuel Steward's Kronk.
		Toney's then publicist, Debbie Caplan, later said her fighter had had the flu before the bout and was weakened by both it and a nightmarish battle with the scale.
		Toney was then leapfrogged by the WBC over other four higher ranked fighters to become the No. 1 mandatory for Rahman, and a date with destiny.

	James Toney: Getting it done \| TheSweetScience.com Boxing
		Goossen lets Toney be Toney and wraps it all up as blessing and bounty they can share in, for all its worth, for as long as Toney can make the improbable look so possible.

	James Toney: Old School Warrior, or the Poker-Faced Assassin
		Toney then made him pay with some beautiful, relaxed combinations, and with Williams hurt, tired and outclassed - yet believing he could at least make the distance – Toney applied the last cruel move, stepping back a little and firing a massive right hand that put Williams’ lights out.
		Toney turned his left shoulder inward to avoid oncoming straight lefts – at the same time loading his right hand counter – and unleashed several sharp right hands that sapped some of his now open target’s confidence.
		Toney entered the 2003 fight against Vassili Jirov in far better physical condition and won convincingly, using a bobbing, weaving and blocking strategy, constantly making his relentless opponent miss and landing the cleaner blows, outfighting his foe on the inside and scoring a late knockdown to capture his third world title.

	Boxing Blog - TheSweetScience.com » Blog Archive » James Toney Wants You
		Former three-weight world champion James “Lights Out” Toney, who is due to fight Hasim “The Rock” Rahman for the WBC title in Atlantic City on March 18, is defying one of boxing’s cardinal rules and looking ahead of his bout with The Rock toward bigger and better things on the horizon.
		If Rahman clutches Toney, Toney can pop him with punches that may not have enough power to turn his “lights out” due to the short distance, but will, at the most, take its toll as the fight continues into the latter rounds or, at the least, advantage Toney on the judge’s cards.
		but toney is a superior boxer in comparrison to him and i expect a twelve round decision with the last 5 to 6 rounds being very slow paced and half way boring.

		James Toney never fights three minutes in a round.
		I don’t think James will pick Ruiz apart because I think one of James’ deficiencies is that he doesn’t really move well and he often fights with his back to the ropes.
