lights out would take it imo and it would be one for the purists.
hopkins is a cagey vet himself, with good ring smarts but toney is on a different level in terms of skills, defense and imo has bigger punch as well.
toney vs hopkins at 195lbs!! come on!!
id like to see toney give it one last shot, lose the weight and drop down to CW, give adamek a schooling and then retire. imo hes going stale in the HW division, the young guard (the likes of haye arreola, povetkin and chambers) have taken over.
James Toney would win this one. At 160 he had power and higher work rate. There both clever fighters but Toney has better transition between defense and offense and throws better combo's and is busier.
Other than RJJ Toney has only loss due to lack of work rate and conditioning at the higher weights.
