More Skilled, Hopkins Or Toney?

[djtmal]

Toney was a better counter puncher and had slightly better defense. toney's defense looked flashier but Hopkins defense is right up their with Toney's. Toney was a better counter puncher and did well when someone attacked him, however Hopkins was very good at making adjustments and feints/timeing.

If they both fought I'd edge a prime Hopkins over Toney so I'm going with Hopkins by a hair..overall.

honestly i don't see even prime hopkins beating anybody his size and equally talented

is headbutting and lowblowing a skill? lol

too bad these two never put their skills to the test against each other...still can't figure out why this fight never happened when nardo was at 160 and and toney was at 68

its ****** that Toney couldn't keep his weight down, he wasn't even a big middleweight, Hopkins was bigger than him.

taller perhaps...but james was pretty good against taller guys..

meanwhile, toney is leading the poll

Toney without a doubt, Hopkins resorts to rough housing when things don't go his way and tends to hold to keep the pace at his level
