    As much as i like James and he is one of my all time favorite fighters( and personalities) him making 185 and not being totally depleted alaDLH is insane....He also said he would knock Hopkins out which at that weight and totally weight drained would be a pipe dream.While i would have loved to have seen them fight years ago in a fight in which i think James could have won now i think he is too far gone and to kill himself to get down to 185 i think Hopkins would pick him apart.:rasta

    Toney couldn't drop down to 185lbs even if he cut off both of his legs.

    Toney wont get within a country mile of 185..I would be shocked if he did.

    He just likes his 5 meals a day with a side of roids to much.

    I think he could do it. He's training on Las Olas Beach. Here's a short interview:

    James Toney won't be able to make cruiserweight either.

    A weight between 225-230 pounds is realistic these days.

    2009 Toney: I’ll KO Hopkins!

    By Francisco Salazar

    Heavyweight contender James Toney is never at a loss of words. However, his latest proclamation would make even the most hardened beat writers in boxing scratching their heads. “I know that my promoter (Dan Goossen) is seeking the best fights for me in the heavyweight division. However, I am willing to drop down to 185 pounds and fight Bernard Hopkins. They say that he is a legend. I will prove that I am the living legend. He is a good fighter, but I will knock him out.” Toney won a close twelve round split-decision over Fres Oquendo in December at the Morongo Casino Resort & Spa in Morongo. Hopkins, who has never weighed more than 174 pounds during his 20 year professional career, soundly defeated Kelly Pavlik by unanimous decision in October.

    I don’t think that is a good plan for Toney to drop that much weight. But it would be a big fight.

    I wonder if they could persuade Hopkins to come in heavyweights for the fight. :think
