James Toney vs Bernard Hopkins at 175lbs

Let's assume Toney was as good at 175lbs as he was at 168lbs. How does he do against the Hopkins that beat Tarver?

 

By the way, the pre-fight smacktalk for this fight would be better than the fight itself.

 

I favor Hopkins as he wouldn't give Toney much countering opportunities. It goes the distance 11 times out of 10.

 

word. Guaranteed to go the distance.

 

At this weight, Toney was a fat, lazy slob and Hopkins was a geriatric boxing catenaccio enthusiast befuddling a sorry class of clueless, skill-less athletes with what used to be run of the mill spoiling techniques ... My guess is a contentious decision in a garbage fight which leaves the viewer disgusted with Hopkins' negative tactics and Toney's petulant sloth

 

, love the descriptions.

 

It makes the most sense to match them at 160, realistically.

The Toney that beat Nunn and McCallum (the draw was bullshit, James won that first fight) would be BY FAARRR Hopkins' best middleweight opponent. I know Nard accomplished a lot more at 160, but I'd go with Toney at his best to beat Hopkins.

 

definitely... that is a fight I'd love to see especially when Hopkins was younger and less cynical
