James Toneys resume is better than Hopkins

Kirkland Laing also has a better single win then anything on Hopkins or Toneys resume...I guess Laing is better then both of them.

 

Barkley VERY overrated and nothing more than decent.
Jirov - european level at best. The only ones to blow him out of proportion were the Toney fans.
Holyfield was old.

 

I think Hopkins and Toney's resume are on equal grounds. The truth is that Toney's resume is very underrated.

 

Lets not dick around with steroid comments i think the thread starter said.OK if that fat twat Toney somehow gets in the hof it should read STEROID CHEAT under his name.He got what,a year ban? Should of had at least a 5 year ban from the sport.Arcane,you mentioned Kirkland Laing,made Roberto Duran quit haha then vanishes into obscurity.Such a special talent wasted,the guy had a great future ahead of him and blew it.

 

Toney is an underrated monster. You do question if he had taken steroids in his middleweight days also..but that opens a can of worms as we may end up asking..'did his opponents also take steroids?'

From 1991-1994, his winning streak is baaddddddd.

 

He got gifts against tiberi and McCallum.

 

I don't even have to mention his steroid abuse, the fact his whole run above 168 is suspect isn't the point the point is prime Toney was drawing with Sanderline Williams while benefitting from dubious decisions over Sosa, Johnson and Tiberi while getting schooled by Jones Jr after which he got outboxed by the 5"7 Montell Griffin TWICE before going onto lose to Drake Thadzi. Even then i'd argue he should have dropped atleast 1 of 3 decisions he got against Mike McCallum.

Now if we look at those 'wins' and losses we can say Toney fought ONE elite opponent in Jones Jr and was schooled and made to look silly, and from his 'wins' there's only Reggie Johnson who was of any quality outside of McCallum and Nunn.

 

Did his opponents also fail MULTIPLE drug tests?

No doubt, the thing is he was in his PRIME and he was benefitting from gifts while scraping draws with Sanderline Williams, this wasn't some old Toney this was prime Toney. While we can look at Hopkins resume and say he not once benefitted from a gift or disputed decision yet had found himself constantly screwed over every single time he had a close fight; Mercado, Taylor 1 and 2, Calzaghe, Pascal 1

 

James Toney's entire career should be called into question. How many times did he cheat by using steroids?

 

Doesnt' matter with or without steroids he's nowhere near Hopkins when it comes to ATG standing.

 

I agree. Was just pointing it out.
