A very close fight that could easily go either way. Still, James Toney would probably win by a very close decision. Too slick for Bernard Hopkins.

Toney, Hopkins would try to push the fight but just wouldn't have the speed to get through Toney's defense/elusiveness.

Toney would win on points. Hopkins Vs Toney is a good match up because hey fight a lot a like at some points . I just find that Toney is little better at every thing and back at 160 he had a mean streak that makes Tyson look like Mr.Rodgers.

Toney on Points. Would be a great fight though. Ninja is right about that mean streak. It used to more than now believe it or not. Watch the Toney-Tim Littles fight as an example.

A younger Hop is too busy for Toney at 160 imo. Reemeber Toney was a fat slob before cutting weight in camp, and 160 was too much of a push so his activity level was often not very good at 160. Hop back then was very active, steamroller who rarely stop punching and landed with almost everything. Hop outworks him over 12

both fought a prime roy jones jr and hopkins definitely faired better. I go with Hopkins by split decision but it would be great!

I love this idea. Dont forget how lazy Toney has been even in his prime. And how clever Hopkins has always been. Now consider how Toney was embarrased by Roy Jones.
Worse case Hopkins wins descision by good margine.
I'd love to see Toney go down at least once in the fight to.

Hopkins by UD

A green Hopkins fought Jones and it was a close fight.

An experienced Toney fought Jones and it was a one side butt whooping by Jones.

This fight is intersting, it all depends on which Toney shows up, if he shows up like he did against Jones, then yea Bitchkins def wins.

If Toney is on his A game, then he beat Hopkins by UD every single time.
