    Toney has more natural ability, but I think history will remember Hopkins better because he used it more and was more consistent

    I'm gonna go with Toney, although Hopkins is obviously no slouch himself. It was just more entertaining to me to watch Toney's infighting and countering skills. Great defensive fighter that Hopkins was, I think it takes more skill to stay in the pocket and trade without taking punishment like Toney did. Just my personal preference, though.

    Toney wins this contest hands down without a shadow of a doubt, probably one of the most gifted boxers of all time, he just never had the discipline that Hopkins possesses, which is an equally admirable trait.
