Prime Hopkins vs Prime Toney @ 160

[cuzfozzy]

the question is who backed out of their planned fight ????!!

[IMDAZED]

It was Hopkins - over money/Don King. In the end, he did the right thing. A cruiserweight Toney would've kicked his a**.

I agree. Fighting Toney at crusier would have been suicide.

I did love the title for this fight though. "Too bad it's gonna be good!" or something like that.

[MANGLER]

Hopkins in a close decision, probably 115-113, or even a SD/MD.

Interesting tactical battle, closely contested, with Hopkins taking a decision utilizing his superior movement against Toney who preferred to stand in the pocket and counter.
