A man that hated training but loved to spar all day long. One of the most naturally gifted athletes.

[@mikimiyazaki]

Soo true lol. My trainer always told me that usually the most talented fighters were the laziest when it came to training, other than sparring.

[@user-kq3ch8mq1x]

@@mikimiyazaki it is indeed true. ALI was notorious for hating and being lazy in training. He used to take a whooping in sparring for 8 rounds before he started jabbing away.

[@LowTierFallout]

People forget what happened prior to his fight with Jones. Mofo was in a hospital from a disastrous weight cut after ballooning to 200 that he shouldn’t have ever done; fight shoulda been at cruiserweight. Prime Toney is top 10 ever.

[@JaydenLynch-ds6eo]

He naturally weighed 200

[@Garrett1240]

@@JaydenLynch-ds6eo I don't know about 'naturally'. He was 5"9 and change but he just liked to eat. 168 seemed like his most natural and comfortable weight class. There will never be another guy win a belt at heavyweight under 6"1, let alone at 5"9 like Toney.

one of my favourite fighters of all time

[@2xHooligan]

From everybody that wants to know the shoulder roll/philly shell people always seem to look at Floyd mayweather instead of James Toney

[@thehuemanimal3626]

YungKeemThaDream or better yet george benton

[@2xHooligan]

The Huemanimal agreed

[@mikimiyazaki]

My respect for you went through the roof for the sheer fact that you know the correct name of the stance and complete system of fighting known as the Philly shell. Small correction, the Philly shell is the stance and the name of the advanced system of fighting and the shoulder roll is the specific technique of causing straight right hands to bounce/deflect off of the shoulder. The reason people get it confused (aside from having never been trained by a legit trainer) is that the shoulder roll is one of the most utilized and clearly visual defensive (when properly timed and chained together it's right hand bouncing off shoulder, then counter right hand pre loaded, therefore powerful and landing on an off balance opponent) technique that gives the mirage that there are openings that aren't there to draw an opponent into a spider web. Toney vs Jirov was the first fight my trainer had me watch when he'd have me train light then watch fight videos on Sunday. Toney lived and breathed the Philly shell lol. He probably slept in the Philly shell stance lol. Floyd Mayweather also mastered the Philly shell system, but he didn't use it every fight like Toney. Most people don't that it's an entire precise system of movements (ask bone head Adrian Broner lol), nor do they truly pay close attention to detail which is why they think Bernard Hopkins used the Philly Shell (he used his own stance that was kind of similar). All the Mayweather's, Toney and De La Hoya are the only fighters I can think of in recent history that fought out of Philly Shell. It's becoming a lost art, and is an advanced system due to the timing needed and experience to be able stay calm as it feels at first like you're almost playing chicken with your chin, until you realize that youre hands and arms are already in position for defense, all that's needed is upper body movement which is way faster than it takes for an opponent is punch to travel to you.

[@michaelguzman445]

@@mikimiyazaki absolutely. I couldn't have said it any better man. My old trainer Kenny Weldon had me watch James Toney, or George Benton when I wasn't in the gym with him learning the Philly Shell/shoulder roll techniques. Toney was an absolute master

[@2xHooligan]

Miki Miyazaki actually mayweather used something called the Michigan or crouching crab. Very similar but their is a difference.
