- "Rahsaan paid for it he got it we had fun lights out baby," wrote Hall of Fame legend James Toney, who recently took to social media to post video of himself sparring at the age of 54. You don't want to miss what went down. Check it out!
Toney in his prime was an amazingly gifted boxer. His reflexes and sense of timing were impeccable.
Yes, he was something else.
And still couldn’t touch RJJ
@Paleo No excuses but I heard Janes Toney was drain for that fight.
@ Techy B
They say Tony’s reflexes and timing came from sparring none stop. They say Toney rarely did road work.
@jaydee8926Toney was 26 years old and 44-0 when he fought Roy...Roy was 25...u talking about luck? Roy smoked that man...tf outta here 😂
Stamina is mostly anxiety. The more fear you have, the more drained you get
very accurate
Tyson fury said the same thing about Anthony Joshua
“if your tired after two rounds you don’t have stamina issues you have heart issues”.
I’m paraphrasing
Well said
Please don't take this shit seriously, make sure to run every day your heart and girl will thank you.
@@kevo0830 word. that's real
Man, I miss fighters like Toney so much. The fighters nowadasy can't hold his jock.
Fucken oath they can’t! Sissy fighters they definitely don’t make them like James no more, the last of a dying breed/Old school fighter😢
That's what the fans of the generation before Tony said about Toney's generation.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 FIRE STATEMENT!!!!
@@sbukeli No, Toney was regarded as old-school even in his middleweight area. Your diagnosis: casual.
@@louduva9849 Reading is also a skill. I said something about Toney's generation and you single out Tony. Your diagnosis: Clown.
James toney shoulder roll is legendary
Definitely top 2
Most def! The way he would do with a straight face and no panic was just crazy to me. Even against Roy he wasn’t shook by anything. Roy got him but still.
If James Toney's shoulder roll is legendary then Mayweather's shoulder roll is monumental.
@@pushhard2 Mayweather fought weaker, one-dimensional opponents. Nunn and McCallum >>> any of Floyd's scalps.
@@louduva9849 you're diillusional..I'm not going to waist time with you bro.
Man is one of the greatest of all time
💯💯💯
I was always torn when I was a kid between Bhop, Tony, and Roy Jones jr. What sold me on Tony being my fav was I always loved the nickname “lights out”.
Toneys legs and mobility look pretty severely hindered but you can still see all of those years of experience, he can read absolutely everything that guy is going to do and doesn't hesitate to react.
he’s 50 odd years old man who the hell can manoeuvre around any better at that weight he looks great
@mitchskeaf1279 50 isn't that old, if you keep in shape you'd be surprised what the body is capable of. There are plenty of former pro athletes who still maintain regular training or practise or many even compete in amateur or local competition, unfortunately Toney took a lot of brain trauma over his career.
mobility look pretty severely? lol Clown he's do it maybe only 5%! )) It's only fan sparring! )
@@vv-cy5sk Can't understand what you're saying
I’m not trying to discredit James Toney in his prime, but he always used his upper body more than his lower when it came to defense
If James “Lights Out” Toney walked towards me like that at the beginning of the round, I’d fold 😅
James Toney is someone that can't be copied
Will always be one of my favorite fighters to watch. Master of angles, his skills were always top level. If you were a novice and had to pick any fighter in the history of boxing to model yourself after and learn to box, James Toney would be near the top of the list.
James is the top of that list 💯
Yes indeed. He could slip n nail with uppercut n short hooks...He annihilated Evander Holyfield
Absolutely. Even if you take his skills out of the equation, he had such supreme confidence, mental toughness, and fearlessness that most guys only pretended to have. That's why he always said that most guys are trained to fight, he was born to fight.
As a heavyweight when he beat Holyfield bad...do u think he'd have schooled Tyson. He said he would I agree. Your take?
No tyson at his best would of murdered him
James is a Jewel. God bless him.
James Toney...one of the greatest....
He was taking easy on the amateur dude you could tell B didn't wanna hit em fareal fareal
It's the other way around...that guy was taking it easy on Toney...he didn't wanna do him like that. ..lets be real here
@@desotohybrid2175you know wat watching it again u may be right,
2:20 even at 54 years old he still got that weave 🤣
Nothing more irritating and frustrating then an elite boxer timing and countering your jab like it’s nothing 😂😂
Sparring in a baggy hoodie & baggy sweats is a different level of devious
U I used to gas out out of fear when I was new to the sport… never understood until I was a year in one day… and didn’t go backwards… walking guys down… then I knew I had conquered that fear.. now I’m in yo face how Toney was in his
Rahsaan, was reminded that with sports like Boxing and even sparring, sometimes you gotta get in shape, to get in shape.😉😅
My boy gassed out IMMIDIATLEY lol. He gotta get that cardio up, that and tell him to keep his cool, believe it or not anxiety can be a drain mentally, and if youre drained mentally youll be drained physically, mind and body are connected. Hes gonna need to work on cardio and get him into more sparring.
LIGHTS OUT💥
The Legend... James " lights out" Toney.
James was a beast in his prime
Bags don't hit back sparring is the best training you can get because on a bag you can rest get away with a lot because you not getting hit but when you in a ring with someone they're hitting you making you push harder that's why explosive training is great running is good but it's how you run you don't run miles going at the same pace you gotta learn how to pick it up then return to your regular rhythm also it's mental as well never tell yourself you're tired always push harder and strive to be better everyday
Dats my dude right there. Big Dawg Lights Out. Old school fighter.
Its scary for that guy he knows that when he throws a punch he is gonna get countered every time all day long.Imagine if that was a 27-28 yo prime lights out toney then be scary for him
He still sharp for his age.
He still punch drunk too 😂
🧢
@Nkeonye Onwuchuruba He is actually sharp, this video doesn't show it because he's joking around but a year or two ago, he goes relatively hard on a young prospect and handles him effortlessly, I was quite surprised at how slick he looked. Here not so much, but he's obviously fooling around here
Did we watch the same video?
@Sissy Boy 🤡🤡
You know you’ve reached og level when you spar with slippers on haha
James was scaring him to death more then anything but it is scary when you know you have no chance to do anything to a guy and if he wants he can crush you. James one of my favorite boxers
@@trekker7530 he would knock you out in 30 seconds
@@Hank-ch5qrJames is 54 years old...hella slow...hella CTE...and shot to pieces...that guy could have knocked him out if he wanted...he felt sorry for Toney
@@trekker7530You get sad real easy. Weird
@@trekker7530 Actual boxers don’t disrespect legends. Another fraud exposed. 😂🎯
Remember when he battered holyfield🤣🤣
That was a shadow of Holyfield brah
@@Goku-mz2nc holyfield was still coming in with his finishing headbutt, he just didnt have the prescription from his private doctor!
I thought holyfield was looking for the bed on that fight he laid right down
@@ramezthegreatest62 u making stuff up now, holyfield never quit his corner threw in the towel for him
Remember when Roy smoked Toney?
ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIMES : JAMES LIGHTS OUT TONEY !
Toney one of the greatest of all time. One of my favorite fighters. The defense, the slips , the counters were crazy. Hard to get a clean shot on him. Never got knocked out. Never got his ass kicked. He was in every fight. He couldve hurt this guy. He pulled alot. But good shit. Im sure dude was just happy to be in there with lights out
2:19 Completely misses and sinks into the corner
Toney:"What the hell was that?"
Man thats too funny
2:07 Toney almost falls down was funny too
@@jriley-tv1onyeah he trips a little bit
GOD BLESS THE CHAMP BEAUTIFUL SPARRING AMEN!
James Toney is more of a master pugilist than most give him credit for
I Love James. One day I will get to meet the Great James Lightsout Toney.
The greatest fighter to ever put on a pair of gloves, I've watched every single James Toney fight and I'm a huge fan since I was a kid in the 90s, is there any way to get some JT memorabilia or a t-shirt? Has he got a website? Im Irish so we don't have much here someone please let me know, thanks ☘️
Can't say Irish brother but he's a lovely guy take it from me and if you send a message to him on Instagram asking where to get merchandise he may respond, much love 🍀
@@thedublinator3685 cheers mate I appreciate your response, I'm glad to hear he is a sound bloke, James Vs Mike McCallum 1991 the best showcase of skills I've ever seen nothing will ever beat that. Thanks again man☘️
@@grudeman You're very welcome mate, what's your name
100%. THE REAL TBE.
@@grudeman and Mike McCallum was a beast
It's good they just fooling around...DON'T HIT JAMES IN THE HEAD.
Good for you fella! James Toney still have that insatiable need to get in the ring.
The luv never goes away.
That last whiff did it for me love James Toney
We're he's most comfortable
James Toney is a LEGEND in the boxing game!!
Thanks for sharing I enjoyed watching this
If toney gets in shape real good and drops down to 170 he could beat some guy in an exhibition
WTF 😂 Tony has always been a beast. One of my all time favorites
Respectfully speaking, Toney should not be sparring with no head gear. You can already tell he's been affected cognitively from head trauma from boxing.
James toney gotta talk while he spars lmaoo he used to violate people “ hit me f*ggot !!” 😂
Look like my uncles at the bbq after too many drinks.
sounds like the tuna melt isn't sitting well in james toneys stomach 🤣
Toney was an artist, one of the most talented boxers of the last 30 years. Imitators come and go but Lights Out is the original
James Toney: It's time to go to school son.
Long Live James "Lights Out" Toney!
No matter how old JT is still an intimidating dude
James Toney is the best human being who ever put boxing gloves on. NO ONE would be able to handle him when he was in his prime.
Roy Jones. Joe Calzhage.
Joe Never he ducked Toney and many other Fighters
Bruh i believe this guy is an in-fighter! with master counter Philly shell roll and counter punches with switch hitting style Ortohodox and Southpaw , he's footwork , directions amazing! 💯
Sparring match in favor to the great lights out even at 54. Making it hell for his much more younger sparring partner to get off any type of offense while James just performing his masterclass in ring magnificence. By way of defensive wizardry, nice counters, heck even being the aggressor!
My favorite fighter
James toney is a Great. But as we age reflexes get slow. But there's a way to get their reflexes back they need to use weights. James toney doesn't need to lose weigh James needs to become FIT and shape up the weight then we will see the old James toney at a new weigh. James toney has to understand the shoulder roll, you use the shoulder roll to rest your hands A master Boxer Sticks to the basics first. To help his brain he has to drink vitamin B type drinks.
Toney was the king !
One of the baddest humans to ever walk the earth
This is bucket list stuff..
Tony could still make a comeback if he had discipline to do it like Freddie Roach said. James Toney is the Allen Iverson of boxing to me
One of the best fighters ever
Happy birthday Champ
I pray Toney isn't preparing for an exhibition, I don't want to see my boxing heroes in circus 🎪 acts. 🥊
Listen to the lion roaring to life lol
Thats still James Toney so dont get it twisted, lol
He look and sound like chef from South Park 😂
He should never spare with anyone when his already punched drunk!
I would've been distracted with all the sounds he's making
He went southpaw on em too
Lights out baby. We love you champ. A warrior that boxing should come together and extend that multi billion dollar hand and help their brother Lights out up. Say what yall wanna say but i think Dela Hoya would be front runner on extending a helping hand. Listen somebody please help Lights out get a million dollar treatment so we can save his life PLEASE. He's a fighter so he might fight the process, but we must and we can keep our old lion alive and get him back healthy. And Lights out especially belongs to yall boxing brotherhood. It doesn't have to be a spectical like a go fund me. It should be more like we as this boxing brotherhood we got this we're multi millionaires we don't need the public help on this 1. We got it, thanks
James still got it
James was going light on him too
This is who Joshua needs a link up with not DJ
I’m tired Boss!
Damm Tony lookin like ah Gloriola fr fo real
I missed the part where he schooled him
He needs to quit sparring. My man has severe brain damage, and he’s only 54 years old. Not good.
What he be saying man 🤣🤣
🐐
Ahh man every time I hear James speak he sounds worse and worse . Hope he’s doing better financially now at least? He’s a fucking legend I hate to see him hurting with his health and money
Jt! This is Mari paul! We need to link up!
Man, age is a motherfucker.
In his prime, JT was The Man.
I understand him more with the mouthpiece in
Who wins? James Tony or Bozzy Ennis? Now.
He's got nothing to prove, why risk your health . He's already suffering from CTE due to the punishment he took during his career.
Battle of the " Cheeseburger Champs "
U still see the spots just can't take advantage of them
Miss Toney no more like him
James can still throw punches.... I always suspected ..
James vs randy rematch 🥊
James just playing.. if he wanted he could of killed gave him a pass
No head gear
This dude needs to stop taking trauma to his brain like decades ago.
Technically the man was gifted and tough. The way he beat up Holyfield was a schooling.
What was this?
Man this Toney's way out of shape. LOL
2:18 Fee Black!
james looks 80 yrs old
These 2 couldn't make it up escalators.
HUH WHOO , Whut Chu Say 🥊😵
Tyson vs Toney?
