Hopkins > Toney close but clear UD Tito > Forrest ko in 8 McCallum > Hearns UD in a very good boxing match Morales > Marquez UD in a close but clear decision.
In his prime Hopkin's handspeed was basically even with Toney's, and he had much, much superior footwork. Toney's kryptonite has always been skilled out-fighters, which Hopkins was. Hopkins could match Toney on the inside, easily win at mid-range, and for the most part dominate Toney on the outside. Toney, even at his absolute peak, struggled with fights kept on the outside, he struggled badly with fighters that had good footwork. Nearly everything about this fight favors Hopkins' style over Toney's.
Nothing Hopkins has accomplished, even in his prime, indicates he could be competitive with a boxer the level of Toney.
Nothing Toney has accomplished (getting shutout by Jones, arguably losing to a faded and naturally smaller man, getting a gift against Dave Tiberi, being clearly outboxed by Michael Nunn before landing a lucky punch, arguably losing a deserved decision to Montell Griffin in Griffin's 15th fight) indicates he could beat a fighter with vastly superior footwork, that was significantly more versatile and better on the outside then he was. Toney can beat heavyweights because they come right at him, and he looks good against aggressive opponents. When someone keeps the fight at a distance, Toney is not nearly as effective.
Is it too late to ask for Forrest-Trinidad at 160? I heard Trinidad wants to fight two more times in 2009, and Hopkins and Oscar will probably no fight him so why not?
