  • James Toney: Hopkins is a sissy


    Hopkins:


    JENNA: You mentioned Bernard Hopkins. How low do you think you need to go in weight to temp him to fight you?

    TONEY: Well I would go as low as 190 for him, no problem!

    JENNA: So you would go 190 for him? So what do you think would happen? You’re crafty, he’s crafty—

    TONEY: What do you mean? What do you think? Don’t tell me, please young lady, that you think Bernard Hopkins is an old-school fighter! You think he’s a crafty fighter?

    JENNA:
    I think he—

    TONEY: You think he’s a craft fighter?

    JENNA: He might not be a throwback fighter like you, but he’s crafty!

    TONEY: Right there! He’s not a throwback fighter like me! He’s not crafty! Anyone who runs in while holding their heads down, that’s not a throwback fighter! Okay? When I look at old film like Ray Robinson, he does not run in with his head down, hitting and holding, and then crowd and get hit! Pow! Bernard Hopkins is a big old crybaby, a sissy in disguise!
    Dawson:


    CIANI: I’m doing very good, thanks. James, going back to Bernard Hopkins for a minute, his upcoming fight with Chad Dawson—what are your thoughts on that?

    TONEY: Oh he’s going to knock Chad Dawson out! Chad Dawson’s head ain’t right. Even if it he was right, he still can’t beat Bernard because Bernard has too many tricks for him. He leads him in, he’s going to bring him in, and boom! He’s going to be knocked out!

    Jones:


    TONEY: Well I ain’t seen the fight so I don’t know. I’m just going by word of mouth. You know what I’m saying? I’m not Roy Jones. I’m a fighter. I don’t run around the ring and shake my ass. That’s not my thing. I go in there and try to hurt people. That’s what I do.

      He has been his own worst enemy. Hopefully he cancels that mma fight

        okay Hopkins is a sissy but he will knock out Dawson? Has Toney ever seen Dawson fight? And Toney can't seem to understand that Hopkins is still relevant in boxing while Toney isn't.

          this is just the mentality of Toney, and since he is a fighter, I respect that in him

          the man respects nobody, he believes he's the best and that he can whoop you

          it is a fact that Hopkins IS NOT old school, Toney is

          in the eyes of Toney, Dawson just happen to be a bigger sissy than Hopkins

              Hopkins and Dawson are too busy to be worried about James Toney since they have a fight coming up, and it's not like what Toney says actually matters. Maybe Toney can challenge Hopkins after he loses

                Damn, has it really been 5 years since this guy got outboxed by Sam Peter? lol Toney should STFU. He's great at fighting in the pocket, but Hopkins is a much more skilled, much better boxer than Toney and would school his ass.

                  I disagree with that. I think Hopkins has better footwork, but in terms of defense, counterpunching, inside fighting and offense - Toney (mw-cw) is better than him.

                    Toney thinks hes better at hurting people than other boxers? He may have a hard chin, but there are other fighters who give it better than him.
