Toney: I’ll KO Hopkins!

By Francisco Salazar

Heavyweight contender James Toney is never at a loss of words. However, his latest proclamation would make even the most hardened beat writers in boxing scratching their heads. “I know that my promoter (Dan Goossen) is seeking the best fights for me in the heavyweight division. However, I am willing to drop down to 185 pounds and fight Bernard Hopkins. They say that he is a legend. I will prove that I am the living legend. He is a good fighter, but I will knock him out.” Toney won a close twelve round split-decision over Fres Oquendo in December at the Morongo Casino Resort & Spa in Morongo. Hopkins, who has never weighed more than 174 pounds during his 20 year professional career, soundly defeated Kelly Pavlik by unanimous decision in October.

I don't know what's harder to believe. Hopkins getting knocked out or Toney making 185 pounds.

[hookoutofhell]

has anyone got any pics of toney recently, at one stage i know he looked ridiculously fat at HW and i remember thinking if he shed the weight he would have quite easily made 180.

Toney at 200lbs at this stage is a shell. I mean Sam Peter boxed him ears off.

[Derranged_]

Toney can't even KO the feather fisted fres Oqendo, so how's he going KO one of the slickist fighters in the sport?
