Toney Vs Hopkins (WBA Title) that's a challenge

[drh]

At risk of getting banned, i propose this superfight.

If Toney defeats Ruiz, Hopkins Vs Toney would be something else.

Hopkins would only come in at around 185lbs, but I'd still back him.

NB. He actually weighed 173lbs on fight night against Oscar. Don't know if he does weight training but at 6'2" I'd imagine he could put some beef on.

THAT WOULD MAKE HISTORY!

I think he's asking. Why would you get banned for posting such thread?

Toney would be too much at that weight i think. Hopkins is already slowing down at 160 , so why would he have any mobility at that weight? Also toney would have the power advantage and isnt afraid to trade inside with BHop. Toney by either Late KO from corner calling it quits or lopsided decision

nah

No way in hell does Toney win a "lopsided decision" over Befrnard Hopkins, as long as Hopkins looks as good as he did vs Eastman and Oscar (not to say he hasn't looked better).

Due to Toney's increased liklihood on getting injured, and Hopkins' age, this would have to be nothing other than a pick-em type o fight.

I favor Hopkins I must admit. It's hard to call though. I wish they would have fought a couple years ago like they were supposed to do or whenever that was.

I'd be interested to see how both fighters would answer the q.

no Hopkins is 160, he must gain 40 pounds to make it happen

lol

One thing some of you don't seem to understand is that Hopkins doesn't care about belts, so he doesn't have to come in at any weight otehr than the weight that pleases him, a long as the Toney camp agrees to the weight on the contract.

Two guys don't have to weigh the same to fight each other in all situations. There are exceptions. I would definitely think that Hopkins would come in at 180. He weighed 173 while in the ring vs Oscar, and he would probably want to put on just a little bit of muscle for the Toney fight.
