Rank them: Calzaghe, Jones, Hopkins, Toney

lol no use even speaking with you

Thank you

I suppose that i feel like Hopkins the last couple years has become really overrated, especially his resume. Seeing people say **** like "he's top 3 middleweight all time" bugs me, i admit.

Seriously

Trinidad - 147

Winky - 170 & haden't fought for over a year

Tarver - coming down from 220 and is overrated himself

Pavlik - This is the 1 fight i give Hopkins credit for in regards to not cherrypicking. The Bronchitis and elbow injury Hopkins obviously has no way of knowing would happen so as far as he knew he was going up against a young, tough, undefeated middleweight champ.

Blown up Hoya - lol

Smoke & mirrors for the most part, in my opinion.

VS

Sosa
Nunn
Johnson
Mccallum X 3
Barkley
Littles
Williams
Jirov
Holyfield
Ruiz
Guinn
Rahman
Peter
Oquendo

Toney is undiscipline, can be lazy etc but in terms of talent and in a h2h VS B-Hop, both in their prime, i'd take Toney 10 times out of 10

His resume is a great deal better even with all the years he took off and years spent not taking **** serious.

His superior resume in part is due to his heart/balls. He has more than Jones & Hopkins combined.

I can find his **** talk a bit much sometimes, sometimes it's pretty funny but "his i'll fight anytime, anywhere, anybody" attitude and the fact that he's dead serious about it deserves respect, especially in this day in age where people like Floyd, Hopkins, Jones etc are content building their "legacy" cherrypicking ****.
That's why i like Toney.

 

Trinidad had annihliated a top 3 MW in Joppy, making him a 3-1 favorite over Hopkins. I can see why people don't think much of the Hopkins win over DLH (I don't really rate it high either), but unlike DLH, Tito had proven himself at MW.

Wright had fought 7 months before losing to Hopkins, but I agree in part about the weight. Both the Wright and Pavlik bouts were @ 170. In fact, because of the weight, I think you can be more critical about the Pavlik fight then the Tarver fight. Hopkins was the one going from 160 to 175 when he beat Tarver.

 

I don't think so, because Toney couldn't make the weight for that long. Hopkins made the weight for a long time because he's disciplined, he trains hard and watches his diet.

Toney had weight problems, he said he was around 200 lbs. when he played football in high school, so it's hard to picture him staying at 160 for that long. He apparently took dieuretics to make 160 for the Tiberi fight, in which he looked awful.

He looked good in some of the fights above 160, against Thomas and then the Barkley fight, and I remember him saying there was no way he'd go back to middleweight.

Is this supposed to be taken seriously? One guy doesnt even belong on the list, let alone on top. Come on, and Toney deserves his due...... how many wins? how many big names on his resume?......and he's 4th?

 

Jones
Hopkins
Toney
Calzaghe

 

H2h:
Jones
Hopkins
Calzaghe
Toney

Resumewise:
Hopkins
Jones
Calzaghe
Toney

 

This seems about right.

 

Wake up & smell the ****.

Stop being biased, if Calzaghe had lost before, you guys would give him more credit, its because he has a 0 you hold it against him, to say he would get crushed by any of those men shows either your bias or stupidity... which one ?

YOU decide
