    I still remember the first time i seen Hopkins fight, i was like damn, this guy is going to be a star(not till many years later) Then i recall that Tuesday Night Fights was going to have Hopkins on and i thought damn he is going to bring the pain. Vs. Bo James borring ****en fight, that i erased it from the video with which i used to record the fight. Hopkins is like a hot and cold fighter, somtimes he's on, sometimes he just does enough to win.
    I think Toney actually had more problems with getting motivated to fight, he fought down to the level of his opponents way more often than Hopkins did.

    Edit: Just wanted to add, when Toney was properly motivated and in shape, he was a very, very good fighter and could've been great.

      I can't see no reason why they shouldn't both fight right now
      any disadvantages in age are neutralized because both
      are about the same age. MAKE THE FIGHT NOW
      Hopkins couldn't carry Toney's jockstrap
      Hopkins beat up on guys smaller than him
      Toney stepped up to heavyweight
      Hopkins made his name off of trinidad
      other than that he's known for losing to roy jones
      but if he has any doubt he should fight toney now
      that fight would be ppv ....
      can you think of any fighjt bigger than hopkins vs toney right now ?
      this would have been a mega fight 3 years ago but toney is at 230 hops 175 no way they can fight unless toney rededicates himself and at age 39 I don't see that happeneing. would have been a classic with toney taking it.
