Toney was an absolute fool thinking he could beat a wrestler. Now it’s time for Floyd Mayweather to step in with Jose Aldo and experience a similar fate. These boxers are incompetent for underestimating the all around athleticism necessary to compete in MMA.
They asked Randy at the post fight press conference about James Toney’s challenge for Randy to now face him in a boxing match. He said, “I will respectively decline that offer. That would be about as silly as James coming over into MMA. He’d knock me out in the first round.”
