james toney...i have more respect for toney's skills than hopkins...at his best toney was a good defensive fighter who had pop and was willing to take some on the chin to get a guy out of there....without all the dirty jailhouse stuff that hopkins uses...
What do you consider under skills? If mental traits are accounted into skill, then it's definately Hopkins, since he is far more disciplined and their work ethics can't compare.
If only physical traits in their primes...well, I can't decide. Toney had better overall defense, Hop was better tactician. Toss up for me.
what do you mean by skills? if you're talking about eating right, living right, taking care of your body, and being able to get in shape for a fight, then Hopkins has 100x more skills than toney
plus toney had more balls than nard....he was willing to test he skills against much bigger fighters on a regular basis....something we could never get nard to do..
