      toney's legacy is marred by the steroid thing and getting demolished by jones in their superfight.

      jones will be known for being a fight dodger who got brutally exposed twice.

      hopkins on the other hand, is known for beating every top MW in his era (save for taylor and jones), KOing tito and oscar, and of course making the longest and most successive title reign in middleweight history.

      the legacy that hopkins etched in the annals of time is far less flawed than jones' or toney's.

        **** are you ******.

        Jones won titles from Middleweight to Heavyweight and beat 16 current or former Champions.

        Saying he got 'exposed' at 35 is like suggesting Hector Camacho and Terry Norris finally 'exposed' Ray Leonard.

        You really need to pull your head out of your ass before you type some of the non sense you come up with.

          bozo, you really need to stop insulting people instead of just correcting them like a pretensious douche bag.

            Your cool Evil Saint but to say Roy got exposed is kind of messed up because Roy was 35 when he got koed. Alot of greats lose it at that point...

              I'll tell you what, if you stop saying ****** and ignorant things, I'll stop calling you ****** and ignorant.

              Non sense like you just posted has no business in a boxing forum.

                actually, thats what people think. roy ended his career (provided he retired today) losing 3 consecutive fights, two by brutal knockout. no other great fighter in history has had a terrible finish to a great career like roy has.

                  Roy never adapted once his reflexes went away. Almost EVERY great champion was able to fall back on their wits and toughness once their skills diminished in order to win. Just look at Ali, Foreman, Hagler, Robinson, Leonard, Duran, etc...all of them fell back on technique/smarts/toughness. A glaring example of Roy not being able to adapt to this is with Glen Johnson. You think Toney would have let Johnson rush his ass like that without taxing him and making him pay? Hell no...
                  I think that had a lot to do with johnson he was a moster in that fight

                      That's exactly what is it... a ****** ass statement. Saying a 35 year old fight got exposed.
