I always like comparing these great fighters. I find it fun, They all started their careers around the same time and all three started at middlweight. Jones, Hopkins and Toney might be the best middlweights H2H of any era. 1. James Toney (Roy Jones) 2. John Ruiz (Roy Jones) 3. Michael Nunn (James Toney) 4. Bernard Hopkins (Roy Jones) 5. Mike McCallum (James Toney) 6. Felix Trinidad (Bernard Hopkins) 7. Virgil Hill (Roy Jones) 8. Antonio Tarver (Roy Jones) 9. Vassily Jirov (James Toney) 10. Antonio Tarver (Bernard Hopkins) 11. Reggie Johnson (James Toney) 12. Evander Holyfield (James Toney) 13. Montell Griffin (Roy Jones) 14. Glen Johnson (Bernard Hopkins) 15. Jorge Castro (Roy Jones) Agree, or not? If not post your own. If you're wondering why Winky didn't make top 15, it was because Hopkins faced him at 170 pounds. If he faced him at Middlweight it would have been a top 10 win for sure.
The same way you made note of B-Hops win over Winky needs to be said for Trinidad. Jirov (Toney) Tarver (Jones) Reggie Johnson (James Toney) Evander Holyfield (James Toney) Montell Griffin (Roy Jones) Glen Johnson (Bernard Hopkins) All of these wins rate above Hopkins beating Trinidad.
How do you figure that ? Hopkins was a huge underdog going in this one :huh Everyone expected Trinidad too knock Bernard the **** out :bbb
1. Thomas Tate ( Roy Jones) 2. Tony Thornton ( Roy Jones) 3. Montell Griffin ( Roy Jones) 4. Tim Littles ( James Toney) 5. Joe Lipsey ( Bernard Hopkins) 6. Virgil Hill ( Roy Jones) 7.
