James Toney weight question
James Toney weight question
As a teenage amateur, Toney fought at 156 pounds. However, he claims to have played high school football at 205 pounds. Does this make any sense ?

Re: James Toney weight question
Essentially, what I'm asking is could Toney have boxed as a golden glover at 156 pounds and then played ball at 205 during the same year ? The Gloves end around late March-early April and football would start in September, or maybe even late August. Plus, he supposedly did this for 3 straight years.

Re: James Toney weight question
Could have been taking them in the timeframe the op is asking about. My small hs had dozens of guys juicing mid 80's, some just for more pussy. If I have to try and pinpoint I'd say the run to jirov.keithmoonhangover wrote: ↑29 Nov 2019, 19:48 My question is when did he start taking PEDs? the cheating bar*Rd.
Re: James Toney weight question
Good question, I don't have the answer, but an interesting point no one has brought up is that teenage refers to the ages that end in "teen" and so nineteen is in fact teenage.
