Prime Toney Vs Prime Hopkins

hopkins by decision bhop isnt losing unless the other guys main weapon is speed it wouldnt be a very entertaining fight as both guys rely on the other guy coming too them but i think hops accuracy would mean he lands the cleaner shots

I have Toney by decision. The Toney who fought Barkley would be too much for Hopkins in my opinion.

care to explain how??? not being a prick here. i just dont know who'd win, and id like to find out how posters think either man wold win. Toney has trouble with taller crafty fighters, and while his defence was great, he would get hit a bit in his fights. I think Hopkins's accuracy wins him the fight. Also Toney was never a speed demon, and would probably lose aclose UD.

I've thought about this one a lot of times. After watching the Toney/Nunn fight, I noticed Nunn's height gave Toney a lot of problems but he caught late and Toney stopped him. I can see Hopkins peppering Toney with right hand leads from the outside and using that height advantage. Toney attempts the shoulder roll technique which he used so beautifully back then, but Hopkins is good at neutralizing his opponents best weapon, so he would probably win by decision in a classic fight...
