PrimeVsPrime: Hopkins & Toney

[samoram]

It's a dream fight between 2 old school counter punching masters.
In this poll the fight takes place at Middleweight, & when thinking about how they would perform, think about there styles and them at there very very best.
It's a fight that could have actually happened... but never did.

have you say!

i'm going with toney by ud in a close fight. 7 rds to 5

[samoram]

thats a respectable answear.

[Flawless]

Bernard “The executioner” Hopkins. That fight against Tito still amazes me today, what a performance and Oscar fight was decent. Hopkins UD

[ИATAS]

160 assume?

bhop, close fight

[Zerwas1]

Hopkins got good lateral movements, he will circle all night which is a key point to a win over Toney whose footwork is slower than Hopkins, that combined with Hopkins dirty tactics he wins a SD

[Silencers]

At 160, assuming Toney isn't weight drained I think they have the style to offset each other so it would be a close fight that could go either way.

[Mr. Philadel]

B-Hop by a close split or majority decision....good match makin'!

I have almost no idea how this match-up would go so I'll just post some videos of the two men in their prime:




Toney highlights vs Barkley


Toney vs McCallum


Hopkins vs Echols


Hopkins vs Johnson


Hopkins vs Trinidad

I do know that Hopkins is not exactly the ideal match-up for Toney, but then again Toney went punch for punch with the great Mike McCallum.
