Bernard Hopkins VS James Toney

[Evil Abed]

B Hops also struggled with Antuwon Echols (to the point a rematch was needed). B Hops also lost TWICE to Jermain Taylor.

The Mike MCcallum that Toney beat wipes his ass with Echols and Taylor.

I think a prime Echols gives anyone issues. That guy could hit and had an iron chin.

Taylor outworked Bhop in both fights.

Toney never outworks you.

He counters the **** out of you.

It would definitely be a chess match.

Its hard to determine when Bhop hit his prime.

Tito Bhop? or Search and destroy Bhop who beat Glen Johnson?

wouldve loved to see this fight at 175 ..both in great shape..2 defensive masters,great counter punchers..prime for prime hard decision

Me too man, i wish this fight would've happen!

This fight almost happened a few times. From my perception it seemed like Bernard was never too keen on this fight.
With that said, I think Toney would have whooped him. Toney was as clever as they came. He could do it all.

Really?Damn if only they had fought! Might of been a classic!

Prime it's too close to call for me, now an easy win for B-Hop.

Yeah, too close for me to call!

In their primes Toney takes it I think
right now even in heavy I think popkins takes it

But the **** talking would be classic
I can imagine someone getting slapped in the face off

Haha who would cross the line and get slapped?

I still got Bhop.

Montell Griffin was very competive agaisnt Lights out(He got the wins but I thought Toney won)

Bhop is a better on all levels than Griffin.

Bhop also gave RJ a better fight than Toney did.

I think that was a style issue and the second fight was controversial. And when you think about it, Griffin gave Jones (first fight) a much tougher time than Hopkins did so that could work both ways. Each had a style that could bother the other, this fight is a toss up.

I agree. Very good point.

B Hops also struggled with Antuwon Echols (to the point a rematch was needed).

Hopkins won 119-109 and 118-110 twice...

In the second fight hopkins knocked him out.

Not really struggling. The first fight was exciting to watch because it was foul filled, but one sided.

B Hops also lost TWICE to Jermain Taylor.

Hopkins was 40 years old at this time. Thought we're talking prime vs prime here.

40 and clearly making 160 was killing him, he looked rejuvenated against Tarver.

I gotcha!

You see a close fight? Or Hopkins schools toney?

[ИATAS]

I gotcha!

I don't think it would be a schooling just because of their styles it would force a very tactical match hopkins by a few points.
