    Well, no.

    Because I feel Hopkins was a better win, despite being pre peak. I’d still consider that version of Hopkins better than any version of Toney.

      It's the truth but James did have trouble with opponents who had faster hands though.........Rockin'

        Yes, it’s certainly is the truth that that is the excuse used as to why Roy Jones treated him like a total novice who’d never boxed before.

          It happened and James was drained. If he hadn't been this could gave ended up an all-rime great fight, I'm not saying that he beats Roy, but he certainly could have put up a better fight...........Rockin'

            No different than any other James Toney fight in his career at LHW and below.

            There is no scenario where Toney puts up a better fight.

            Roy Jones and James Toney are no where even close to the same level as fighters.

                James was not right for that fight.............Rockin'
                Rockin', in the times you got to be around Toney how would you say his discipline was? Did he have good work ethic?

                  We were out of the same amateur gym, as well as professional.

                  James busted his ass in the gym, every time out.

                  I don't know about away from the gym though.............Rockin'

                      Rockin' does not agree with Hamzas 'facts'.

                      Facts or opinions?.............Rockin'
