                is hopkins not great? he did not lose for how many years after roy beat him with one good hand. Iknow you dont think toney is great but at the time when roy beat him I considered him great, He was a top pfp fighter when roy beat him.

                    Toney was the only prime fighter of those. With the possible exception of the great pazman of course.
