    Do these two guys get along, or like each other...?

    James Toney has hinted he may return to CW, if there is one fighter i think Bernard Hopkin's..will be slightly intimidated by.

    It is James Toney.

    I honestly believe in the build up to that fight, Bernard Hopkin's would be quiet.

    He dose'nt want to **** with "Lights Out" outside the ring,

    Toney has a problem with everybody. Great fighter, but he just talks rubbish constantly.

    I think that Hopkins would beat him too.

    I remember once they were both interviewed together about general boxing, didn't seem at each others throats at all. I think the fight was discussed after Toney-Jirov too

    Toney called him ugly once. Commented on his teeth.

    Hopkins is the better fighter. He has the greater wins. Toney lost in fights Hopkins would have won. In other words Hopkins is more consistent in his skills.

    At that stage of Holyfield's career, without a doubt.

    Holyfield wasn't as savvy as he is now... He really needed that time out of the ring to get his health together... again.

    Quite possibly the dullest fight of all time

    Toney can't or won't make CW.

    It would be more realistic for Hop to move up to HW, in all honesty.

    Hopkins takes it at this point.

    The only fighter I heard him talk positively about was Emanuel Augustus.

    The only thing Toney likes is food. I dont think he even likes his mommy. Toney would beat Hopkins prime for prime in my opinion.
