"I want to fight. But if something good comes up at cruiserweight, I'll take that too. I want everybody to know that I still have the best skillset in the game. I just need the opportunity. I'm still here and I still train hard every day and that loss only made me hungrier...I wanna fight tomorrow if I could. Probably March or April, I will be ready...I promise you I'm gonna be better than ever. Tell Tarver we can still do it. I see he needs a fight. We can still do it," stated future Hall of Famer James "Lights Out" Toney, who's looking to get back in the ring after rehabbing an injury to his knee that he suffered in his last bout. Check out what else he had to say about!

PC: It's been a long time my man. I gave you some space to recover your injured knee. How are you?

JT: I'm doing good, man. But you know when it's you, you don't have to give me no space. You can hit me up 7 days a week; you know that.

PC: I appreciate that my man. How is your knee doing?          

JT: I'm back training. I've been doing it with rehab for a couple of weeks now. I took off a couple of weeks and now I'm back at it. It's getting much better and I'm ready to get back in the ring and start fighting again now. Everybody again think I'm done, so I'm waiting on them to come and fight me.

PC: I know when the injury first occurred, you told me you would keep the weight down. Have you been successful at that?

JT: Wait until you see me. My weight is great. I'm kind of surprised myself, but I kept my weight down. I'm 220 right now; maybe 224 at the most.

PC: A lot of people hit me up and said they thought you looked weight-drained in the Denis Lebedev fight. How did you feel at that weight?

JT: I felt good. I was strong. The only problem was when my knee went out, I finally realized for the first time in my life that you really need both of your legs to be successful. I have fought with plenty of cuts and a bicep injury, and all kinds of things, but when my knee went out, I couldn't do anything, and he was running around the ring scared to death even after my knee failed me. He didn't fight me like he fought Roy Jones, I tell you that. But I'm telling you Percy, I couldn't move. When I tried to put something behind my punches, it hurt. When I tried to move, it hurt, so I couldn't really do anything but invite him in and try to catch him with something and defensively try and stay out of harm's way, you know what I'm saying?

PC: That's exactly what it looked like. Will the next one be at cruiserweight, heavyweight, or it doesn't matter?

JT: Wherever they want to make a fight at. I will fight anywhere. I still have the IBA title. I'm willing and ready to defend that at heavyweight against anybody. I want to fight. But if something good comes up at cruiserweight, I'll take that too. I want everybody to know that I still have the best skillset in the game. I just need the opportunity. I'm still here and I still train hard every day and that loss only made me hungrier. I know they got some people out there talking shit, "I'm glad he did this. I'm glad that motherfucker lost." Whoever was saying that shit, fuck y'all. I'm still here and I ain't going nowhere.

PC: What young fighters are catching your eye?

JT: Percy, you know me, I'm old school and it's hard for me to get real high on any of these guys. I'm sitting back and waiting on Mayweather/Pacquiao. To me, I got love for both of them, so I say it's a draw.

PC: How about Andre Ward?       

JT: Andre Ward...I'm glad you brought that up. Andre Ward showed he belongs in this game. He took Carl Froch to school and beat him up and did what he had to do. I gave him an A+. When I saw him, I told him he did a great job last year and there is no way to go but up.

PC: Speaking of Mayweather/Pacquiao, can you remember any other fight of this magnitude that was so tough to put together?

JT: Yeah, you should remember it too. It happened too late, Hagler/Leonard. Leonard came up with all of this bullshit. Leonard did that to everybody and then he got his ass tore up. Hearns tore him up and he never beat Hagler. Leonard was overrated; very overrated. To me, he's not even in the top 20 fighters.

PC: Really?

JT: I'm serious. If you look at the body of work that Hagler did and Hearns did and Duran did, they have done more than Ray Leonard in a short time. I'm not saying he wasn't a great fighter, but he is not an old school all-time great in my eyes because he wouldn't have lasted in the 50's and 60's. He's not that type of fighter; he is a pussy.

PC: What advice would you give to Floyd Mayweather when June 1st arrives and he has to turn himself in to serve a 90-day sentence?

JT: Stay up, man. Go in there and do ya thing. Just be you. Don't start no shit and don't take none.

PC: When can we expect you back in the ring?

JT: I wanna fight tomorrow if I could. Probably March or April, I will be ready.

PC: It's good to have you back in the loop and I'm glad to hear the knee recovery is well. I look forward to seeing you back in there healthy.

JT: Yessir. I promise you I'm gonna be better than ever. Tell Tarver we can still do it. I see he needs a fight. We can still do it.
