    Three great fighters but you have to give it to Jones.

    I'd have Jones, clear daylight then Hopkins and Toney fairly close
     
  4. Probaly roy because he beat both of them, but i voted for Hopkins, due to longevity, and his 10 year unbeaten streak as Middleweight champ from 95-05..

    Not Hopkins, and Hopkins isnt fit to carry James Toney's soaking wet jockstrap, and you can quote me on that.

    Welcome back jerkoff....kinda missed your bull**** posts (I really did, you lend a sense of idioticy that noone else can fill around here).

    Anyway...maybe you should go back and read my post. I didnt say Hopkins...I said Jones numbnuts.

    And you say Hopkins couldnt carry Toney's jockstrap??? You are aware that Dave FREAKING Tiberi did, right? That is until the judges yanked it from his hands.

    Good man. Very good....work, baby, work, baby...the usual daily cycle. You?

    And yeah, it is obviously Jones...

    Tho some like to argue that because Toney fought all the way up to HW (for an extended period of time) that he is somehow the top one. Yet they ignore he was only marginally successful and that he was caught not once, but twice of juicin' (which kinda brings up the question...how long was he really using???)...

    On top of it all, all that really proves was he was able to hold a higher weight than the other two (or more accurately, he was unable to stay in the kind of shape the other two did).

    PLUS...he was wildly inconsistant. Lost and eeked out wins vs fighters who were truely not in his league talent wise. And never held more than one belt at any point of time in his career.

    I think in all honesty, the entire order is clear as day. Jones, followed by Bernard, followed by Toney.

    Exactly. JT wasn't moving up because he had cleaned out divisions and was looking for more challenges. He couldn't keep his weight at a decent level.

    I think Toney was an exceptionally skilled fighter, but I agree with the Jones, Hopkins, Toney order.
