More ridiculous is he never took the rematch at 169 that was offered, denying it as some kind of statement. That was dumb. When a club fighter gets a shot at 6 fig payday, you gotta take it.

James was once under 300 lbs????? I didn't even recognize him without a burger in his hand

@zenmachinefilms FROM 9.14-9.16, he really seems to be deflecting all those blows with his fuckin HEAD!

@zenmachinefilms COULDNT AGREE MORE!

This is considered one of the worst decisions ever. Right up there with Lewis-Holyfield I, Louis-Walcott I, Ali-Norton III, Spinks-Holmes II. This decision was so controversial there was a Senate investigation into potential corruption.
Having said that, I think Alex Stewart and Dan Dierdorf misled the audience because they, like everyone, expected an easy win for Toney. If you watch it with the sound off, the fight was actually fairly close. Though I think Tiberi won.

@jorgekluney seriously man are you related to steve collins or something?? you have an almost obsessive infatuation with the guy who was a second rate fighter who made a name off beating washed up champions and losing to mike mccallum. and even with all this senseless rambling you STILL havent managed to explain why your knight and shining armor beats toney, thats pathetic.

@jorgekluney you still havent even begun to explain why collins beats toney, have you ever even heard the old saying styles makes fights? and what in collins face forward , wide punching style do you see would overcome a fighter who utilizes brillant upper body mvement, throws short, hard puches on the inside and long accurate shots on the outside? who has steve collins even beat for you to think that? an old shop worn nigel benn? the zombie of chris eubank? whom he struggle with might i add.

McCallum refused to rematch Collins & was stripped of his WBA. McCallum admitted that Collins won the last 5 rounds of their fight & that if Collins would have fought at that same tempo earlier he (Collins) would have won the whole fight. McCallum admitted after the fight that Collins as his toughest opponent.So think of all of this when you read Vdentjr dumb/retarded post about Collins getting "his shit pushed in" by McCallum. Vdentjr simply looked at records and came to his silly conclusion.
One of the worst screwjobs ever, in any sport. Toney even admits now that he lost the fight. Can't blame Toney for the decision though. He's a helluva fighter. His win over Nunn says it all, who was considered unbeatable.

this is a damn shame. I see dave at the gym a lot and chat with him and talk to the rest of his family and i have never seen footage of it until now..and i'm appalled. Dave has done tons of work towards cleaning up boxing and making sure fights like this will never happen again. And as far as toney goes...he was pretty good once...even at this point in his career his slipping into over-indulgent punch-drunk bullshit...
