hopkins vs. toney

Hopkins would use his superior footwork and ring generalship to outbox Toney in a boring fight. Not as impressivly as Jones did but still very clear.

 

It may have been boring but honestly, prime for prime, middleweight bout, it's one of the biggest shames this match-up didn't take place.

 

Toney is the more skilled of the 2, Hopkins the better conditioned rangier man. I think it would be close but Toney's smarter/slicker skills edging it

 

This is truly a tossup.

I think if I had to get of the fence I would favor Toney but that

A young Hopkins is just too crude and wouldnt be able to land much against Toney, an older Hopkins is just too inactive

 

Its not up for debate

 

Yes it is. They are both very good in their own right, but I think Toney is better in close.

 

Hopkins has nowhere near the range of skills Toney has, his defensive and offensive techniques arent as suttle or sharp. Toney has more skill, Hopkins works harder at implementing the less varied skills he does have. Hopkins trains his ass off to get his wins where as Toney spars a bit and shows up and wins on skill alone

1 thing Hops has over TOney is he isnt flatfooted, this is mainly due to Toney being a lazy ****er.

 

What it is, is, I know boxing and you dont, you probably never boxed

Hops is 1 of my faves too, he does plenty better than Toney, but in terms of raw skill Toney pisses it

 

Thats an awesome picture in your avatar, wonder if theres a video to go along with that picture?
I dont know about a bus, maybe a volkswagen beetle. There both comparable in completeness, but B-Hop's consistency is definitely a huge factor in this one. Best for best, I would lean towards Toney.
