By Percy Crawford | April 01, 2010
JAMES TONEY:

"I will fight Jonathan Banks. It would be like Thanksgiving coming early to me. Jonathan Banks is a bum, straight up. He got knocked out by Tomasz Adamek. Come onÂ… they talkin' about they want to fight James Toney on Showtime. Alright, have Showtime call me; they know my number. Jonathan Banks, step up and I promise you that you will get done up. And we can do it in Detroit because everybody knows I'm the King of Detroit," stated future Hall of Famer James "Lights Out" Toney as he responded to recent comments made by Jonathan Banks. Toney made it clear that if Showtime gives him the call, he's more than willing to prove that he's still the King of Detroit. Check it out!

PC: Jonathan Banks' people reached out to me to let you know that they have already reached out to Showtime and told them they will fight you in Detroit.  He wanted me to tell you to stop repping Detroit.

JT: Jonathan Banks and his people can suck my dick. When I see any one of them, I'm going to slap the taste out of their mouth! Run up on me like that! Come on and I will fight Jonathan Banks. It would be like Thanksgiving coming early to me. Jonathan Banks is a bum, straight up. He got knocked out by Tomasz Adamek. Come on! And then the nigga quit! He quit in the fight; he ain't got no heart. The motherfucker's heart is garbage. I'm going to hurt that boy, seriously. Jonathan Banks is an amateur. He's just like David Haye; no chin! All of these dudes, they runnin' they motherfuckin' mouth and they talkin' about they want to fight James Toney on Showtime. Alright, have Showtime call me; they know my number. Jonathan Banks, step up and I promise you that you will get done up. And we can do it in Detroit because everybody knows I'm the King of Detroit. I'm still the King of Detroit. Even though I live out here in California, I still rep Detroit hard; harder than that fool do. He up there sucking dick with the Klitschko Sisters. He runs up there to Germany with flat-nosed ass Emanuel Steward with the Klitschko Girls. Be your own man and stand on your own 2 feet, bitch. That nigga seen me in California at a couple of fights and he was scared to say something to me. He acted like a little bitch hiding behind his little boys, you know what I'm saying? He could have said something to me then. I looked dead in his goddamn face and I didn't say shit to him. I had a suit on too, like I always do, dressed to impress. As far as I'm concerned, he's a Kentucky bum. 

PC: You got old cats coming at your head and now young cats wanting a piece of you.

JT: That's okay. They can come on. They can come and get it because I'm going to hurt them. They don't belong in the game. They belong at home sucking on their momma's tittie. When I box, I play for keeps! I ain't trying to hold back shit. You see everybody I've fought, I hurt them; everybody. Sam Peter bigger and hit way harder than this bumÂ….umÂ…umÂ…. what's his name again?

PC: Jonathan Banks.

JT: Yeah, Jonathan Banks. Man, come on man. I have been in there with the best in the world man; this guy hasn't been in with nobody. Come on dog. Be realistic man. Stay in Germany where you are getting spoon fed. 

PC: What did you think of his knockout win over Travis Walker in Germany?

JT: Travis Walker was my sparring partner years ago and I used to knock him out in the gym. I knew that was going to happen. Travis Walker ain't got nothing. I knocked him out in the gym with 24 oz. gloves on. 

PC: We have Jones and Hopkins fighting this Saturday. You still picking Roy Jones in that fight?

JT: Yeah. Like I told you a month ago, I think Roy gonna beat Bernard Hopkins. Man, Bernard just trying to get paid; that's all he trying to do. He pickin' and choosin' his battles. Roy got something left in him to beat Bernard Hopkins. I seen in the little previews Bernard trying to talk all hard and shit. Bernard ain't hard! Bernard phony man! When is everybody going to look and learn the guy is a phony. When he fought Robert Allen and he got knocked out of the ring, he was crying. Old school fighters don't cry, they get even. When he got hit low against Tito, what did he do? Cry to the referee. Bernard Hopkins is a fucking world-class whiner. Joe Calzaghe dropped his ass and made him look bad. He stood behind him and dry humped him in Madison Square Garden. They talk about 2 of the best fighters in the world. Man, I give Roy his credit because he did what he did, so I'm going to give Roy his credit. Roy has a legacy in the sport, but Bernard don't get no credit. He fought 20 title defenses in the middleweight division against taxi cab drivers. I can't name 3 of the people he fought. He didn't fight the best in the middleweight division like I did. He was looking to contend for my title and the reason why I didn't fight him, it's not because I was scared of him. There wasn't no money there to fight Bernard back then. No one wanted to see Bernard on TV back then. That's why I moved up to the super middleweight division to fight Iran Barkley and made a lot of money. No one wants to watch him fight now, let alone back then, because he's boring let. Everybody say he's an old school fighter; he ain't no old school fighter man. Old school fighters don't run in with their head down and hit and hold and try to hug and kiss their opponents. Everybody think he's trying to nibble on their chest and shit; that's what he do. That's why his teeth are snaggle. 

PC: Well, we will talk about it Sunday for sure.

JT: Oh definitely! Give me a holla!
