check them before I submit them.Regarding James Toney, it is not just me
he doesn't respect, he doesn't respect anyone who has not boxed competively. He
thinks we have no right to express our opinions. He said so again recently in a
teleconference that I was not a part of.Toney gets angry at anyone who
doesn't say exactly what he wants to hear anyway so we really can't take what he
says to heart.A friend of mine, a local Riverside county newspaper
reporter, asked him about the condition of his leg after Toney was returning
from an injury last year and Toney told him, "bend over and find out!" Toney
then explained what he meant by adding, "I'll shove my foot up your ass and you
will see how healthy it is!" Funny how I am still rooting for him to
beat Ruiz. I guess I am just sick of Ruiz holding a belt.|

weighed in at 233 pounds while John Ruiz weighed 241 pounds for this Saturday's
WBA heavyweight title bout. It will be shown on HBO. I am not attending as I
don't go beyond the western states and this card is at Madison Square
Garden.I think Toney has the skills to beat Ruiz if he suddenly hasn't
gotten old but I do still think he is too heavy at 5'10" tall.Ruiz, at
anywhere from 225 to 240 fights about the same, sloppy. His weight will not be
much of a factor.|

Toney is by all sense of reasoning, better than Ruiz. But why do I get the
feeling that I'll wake up Sunday morning and somehow, some way, Ruiz will still
have the belt? After a borefest that will cause the great northeast to fall
asleep while watching, judges and referees in catatonic stupors from Ruiz
awkward, boring style, Ruiz will hypnotize the world into letting him hold the
title.|
|4/29/05 11:50:13 PM|Kent|La Habra, Ca||kentallenent@aol.com||||10|Angelo, it
all hinges on how much Toney has left as he is pushing 37 years old and he has
had a couple of injuries that have slowed his progress at heavyweight.
That he is injury prone tells me age may be catching up to
him.Yet even at the higher weight, he has far superior skills to Ruiz
and if he hasn't lost a step or two, I think he will dominate Ruiz. I am
picking Toney by decision.|

quietly. Giovanni Ruiz has no chance in hell (and no chance in heaven too) ! As
(or like) Giacomo Toney would say:" That big bum is gonna get his ass whipped".
I could see Giacomo saying also: " Primo Carnera ? Big bum ! Giorgio Eduardo
Foreman ? Big bum ! Joe Louis ? Big bum ! Muhammad Ali' ? Big bum ! ". Giacomo
is not very humble, he thinks everyone is a bum but him. Unfortunately I think I
will not be able to see this fight. Why the Madison Square Garden ? Why not
Roma, Pisa, Caianiello, Catania or Lecce ?Why putting it in Madison Square
Garden ? Why putting it abroad ? Madison Square Garden is too far ! |

four time world champion ? How bad is the heavyweight division going. Toney
would have been lucky to be rated in the top 10 when Ali was ruling. Quarry
would have given him a boxing lesson. |

Toney and the sport will officially dead. Ciao|
|5/1/05 05:33:46 PM|Massimo |Roma||4||||10|Fan-I need your company and
of the other guys on this site tonight as I have a terrible tooth-ache and so I
can't sleep (second straight night that I can't sleep). Most of the time I
wander for "my" home in pain, when the pain diminishes I can write.There is
the dentist waiting for me tomorrow. What happened in the Toney-Ruiz fight ? I
guess it was a boring fight. I didn't see the fight, I only know that Giacomo
knocked Giovanni down in the seventh round. Thanks ! Ahi ! Ahi ! Ahi ! Ahi ! Sob
! Sob ! Sigh ! Ahi !|
