		To borrow a phrase delivered from a baseball player, when Toney meets WBA heavyweight title-holder John Ruiz (41-5-1, 28 KOs) at Madison Square Garden on Saturday April 30, the fighter known as “Lights Out” becomes the straw that stirs the drink among the behemoth heavyweights.
		Since winning the IBF cruiserweight title against Vassiliy Jirov in a momentous battle that nabbed Toney the award for Fighter of the Year in 2003, the Michigan pugilist has been none too shy about calling out, shouting down and belittling every single heavyweight fighter in the world.
		All a person has to do is mention the Mongoose and Toney will take you to another world when prizefighters dressed to kill and were part of the hip landscape filled with bebop legends like Charlie “Bird” Parker, Miles Davis, and Bud Powell.

		James Toney has been telling us for years that he’s a born fighter and he’s been right all along.

		We don’t like to acknowledge it, but if you’re a born fighter, a natural fighter, the way Toney is, you can climb off the couch and whip half the guys in your weight class without doing much more than lacing up your shoes.
