    Hopkins wasn't yet a brand name at 160 when Toney was there, so how did he duck him?

    I am thinking that Hopkins gets knocked out. I really hope that I'm wrong because I would like for him to go out on a high note and I would love to hear the words " As we turn the page on a boxing legend"

    Hopkins probably eeks out a messy UD and goes out on a win. Not expecting much here other than to witness his last fight.

    I'm rooting for Smith here nice passing of the torch type fight with hopkins putting on a good performance but Smith wins it. I also hope hope Hopkins doesn't get hurt in this fight he's an old man and has no business in the ring at his age.

    Yeah Hopkins might have bitten off a little more than he can chew with this kid. This kid is big, strong, and could punch. Hopkins better be on his P's and q's if he's going to beat this kid, especially at his age. Good fight, like you said.

    I'm not sure what to expect here. How much does Hopkins have left? If he's got a little bit left, I'll pick to decision Smith Jr. Decent chance of seeing B-Hop get KO'ed though.

    Usually you duck someone by refusing to get in the ring with them as hopkins did with toney his whole career glad I could educate you about this newb

    You are either trolling, or simnply clueless. Toney won the IBF Super Middleweight Title before Hopkins fought Jones Jr. for the IBF middleweight title. People didn't even start considering Hopkins a top level guy until at least six or seven fights later. Toney and Hopkins were not in the same weight class at any point of Hopkins being considered a top level boxer.
