    Rank them in order. To me this is a hard question. All three are very smart fighters. However, who do you think is the smartest. This includes strategy, defense, fighting style, and the ability to adapt to a fight.

    Toney, Hopkins, Jones...

    I would not put Jones ahead of either of the other 2 because it really showed how much he faded when he lost his physical peak... B-Hop and Toney never really had amazing natural ability, they won most of their fights with ring smarts.. Maybe not the early B-Hop, but is that really the B-Hop we are even talking about...

    No way either of the others are smarter than Bernard. I dont think there is a fighter alive that you can put in that mold.

    Then DAMN Jones was a physical specimen, considering he handily beat two fighters that much smarter than him. Completely dominated and schooled Toney, in fact.

    okey I never knew, so why don't you explain to me.. why is jones #3? because of his two losses I assume? so how come he did beat both this guys and probably could have done it on the same night?
