Boxing: James Toney running off the Mouth!

A new year, but the same trash-talking story from James Toney, who is ensuring his unlikely heavyweight career does not pass unnoticed.

Toney - who became the first man to stop Evander Holyfield in his debut among the big men last October - faces Jameel McCline next month in a bout which will decide the mandatory challenger for Chris Byrd's IBF title.

As usual loudmouth, Toney wasted no time to rubbish an opponent he feels does not belong in the same ring.

Toney is the man right now. If he gets past McCline I would love to see a fight between him an Byrd. That would be an awesome fight.
