    I dunno, despite fighting weird these days, B-Hop is still veeery slick and opponents still have a hard time to landing clean shots on him... Two declining slicksters in the ring, that makes me very curious

    exactly mate so curious id probably pay the ppv amount to see it.good point 2 slickster counter punchers sounds boring but i see toney being the agressor.

    Hopkins presents a lot of different problems for James. They're both counter punchers. Hopkins moves around the ring better will create a lot of different angles for James. Toney likes guys coming at him. I'm a fan of both guys but I just see Hopkins taking a decision.

    I think Toney is a lot more naturally gifted though. And had he harnessed it a bit more, he could have been undisputedly the greatest of this last generation. He certainly had the balls though unlike a lot of other fighters.

    that is a good fight but toney v bhop is business that shouldve been settled 16 yuears ago and thats the fight that would appeal more to the public although bhop v holy is interesting.
