    Again like I said hes only losing to top fighters. Roy Jones beat him, embarrassingly, so the win means mre than ****, correct?

        Pavlik aint hot **** but he isn't a bum...

        Lacy on the other hand is shot to pieces...

        I think it should be 55/45 Hopkins or 50-50

          Also Toney was at cruiserweight when Hopkins was undisputed, and soon went up to HW, how the **** were they supposed to fight in totla different weight divisions.
          Toney fought at virtually the same weights as Hopkins up until like til the late 90's and hopkins started off at 175, they could have made that fight any time. Both lost to Jones and took forever to get back in the spotlight. Still Toney has stated many times he wanted to fight Hopkins.

          I Do give him credit but Johnson weas nowhere near what james Toney was when Jones fought him, 2005 fighter of the year or not, Johnson was never ever considered better than the Toney Jones faced. Toney was fighter of the year back then and p4p rated.

          The tarver comment was real he put on hella weight for Rocky and was not in great shape for the Hopkins fight.

          I love Hopkins but im just saying there are factors that play against him as well in this cause, his wins can be picked apart just like Jones can.

          i want the fight period.

              What?? James Toney was a Light Heavyweight by 1995, immediately after his loss to Roy Jones and as high as 200 in 1996. Further, Toney had to lose like 60-70 pounds or whatever obscene number just to fight Roy Jones in '94.

              The fight wasn't an option.

              And hopkins "starting at 175" is silly. The man fought at 175 his first fight in 1988 coming straight out of prison, then didn't fight for 2 years as he trained and learned his craft.

                I don''t consider Bika a top fighter, and Lacy would lose to him as well.

                  Who puts asses on the seats?????

                  Thats right Roy ****ing jones!!!

                  60% for Roy is more than reasonable.

                  Roy is coming from 2 wins, B-Hop is 1-1 and hasnt fought in a year almost.

                  Plus RJJ sells ****ing tickets!!!!

                    Lol. Man when these two get together it's like a comic stand. The pre fight build up alone would be worth 50 dollars.

                      Really? I dont have much of an argument for that. I personally think Bika is a really good fighter, and could be a problem for most of the top SMWs.
