Toney: I’ll KO Hopkins!

toney: I’ll ko hopkins! By francisco salazar heavyweight contender james toney is never at a loss of words. However, his latest proclamation would make even the most hardened beat writers in boxing scratching their heads. “i know that my promoter (dan goossen) is seeking the best fights for me in the heavyweight division. However, i am willing to drop down to 185 pounds and fight bernard hopkins. They say that he is a legend. I will prove that i am the living legend. He is a good fighter, but i will knock him out.” toney won a close twelve round split-decision over fres oquendo in december at the morongo casino resort & spa in morongo. Hopkins, who has never weighed more than 174 pounds during his 20 year professional career, soundly defeated kelly pavlik by unanimous decision in october. Copied from http://www.*********.com/?p=3210 toney can't make 185!!!!

Pops would never want to go out facing Fat Toney. Now that Calzaghe's retired, the only realistic options left for him are Dawson and Kessler. Or retirement himself.

Forget the fight, I just wanna see Toney make 185 I am with you on this one! James Toney is one of the smartest boxers I have ever seen...But he is crazy to think he can make 185....He can barely make 215!!!!!!!!! I love him to death, but he is just talking non-sense now. He may finally be losing his mind! If he can get to 185 SERIOUSLY...then I give him a shot actually...but not at a KO over Hopkins...

3rd time this has been posted..just so you know its too late for james toney to slim down he should haved did that at leats like 6 years ago..i think he would haved did great at cruiser if he stayed long enough

Yes at SMW back in the day, that would have been an awesome fight. I'd lean towards Hop, but Toney def could of won. I don't know, though. Why did they duck each other? That would have been an awsome fight. Regardless, Prime Roy beat both of them pretty easily. Prime Roy makes the best fighters of any era look like nobody.

Toney vs Hop at SMW Damnnn what a fight

1st off no u wont James ur past it. Secondly u are a HW for life now u tub of goo! Pitty this never happened before tho it would be a classic, Toney was better IMO tho

Toney's shot and he's punchy. He needs to retire.

Burger King is a helluva drug.

Toney can't even KO the feather fisted fres Oqendo, so how's he going KO one of the slickist fighters in the sport?

has anyone got any pics of toney recently, at one stage i know he looked ridiculously fat at HW and i remember thinking if he shed the weight he would have quite easily made 180.

I don't know what's harder to believe. Hopkins getting knocked out or Toney making 185 pounds.
