    Nice one George. Hopkins troubles both guys but loses, Toney out works him and Hearns spears him with his Jab. Hearns ahead on points gets brought down by Toney.

    Yeah pretty much, I think that straight right of Toney catches Tommy at some point and that's the end, but whilst comfortably down on points. A little like the Nunn fight.

    Hopkins vs Toney is near 50-50 imo, Hopkins has some of the best fundamentals of all time imho, but guys like James and Tommy are quicker and have certain stylistical advantages and throw more. One thing that should be noted though is that Tommy fought in the same day weigh in era so he'd be pretty undersized in these ones. Still have him beating Hopkins tho as Hearns was a hard mother****er to outbox and I doubt Hopkins has the style and punch to pull it out the bag

    I have to go with Toney for both fights but you know I'm biased on this one

    Hopkins beats both of them
    Toney beats Hearns
    Hearns is not a great middleweight

    Yep, I can see Tommy trying to take Toney head off his shoulders, and been made to pay for it im afraid.

    Nah me and Morlocks are friends. He gave me the all inclusive Fletcher pack which I've enjoyed working through. Also gave me a lot of stuff for the next few FOTF.
