Toney was knocking heads off to at 160

yeah like 20 years ago...the toney we know now is so much more experienced...and i think his reign came with that weight...i think taylor started out at 160...either way...like you said...he has seen that weight before...

toney in 7 rounds...

If Toney is truly at his best, I think he pulls off a decision victory. Plenty of athletic advantages and he was a great technical fighter just like Hopkins.

At 160, I'd go with Hopkins by competitive decision. Toney is best when his opponent comes at him so he can counter. Hopkins is very smart, so he's going to not give Toney that sort of fight and rather use movement and box. Toney was quicker on his feet in his younger days so he'd hold his own in that area, but still I don't think it'd be enough to win.

Toney was rather inconsistent at 160, although he looked brilliant in the first McCallum fight (which I thought he won, and thought he lost the rematch).

supposedly toney wants to fight b-hop at cruiserweight now

Agreed on all points.

I find Toney to be one of the more overrated fighters of the last generation. Very inconsistent, and undisciplined at times.

Toney's fat ass can't make anything less than 230 these days.
