    If Hops beats Taylor and Toney wins another title at HW or unifies then those guys will leave with better legacies than Jones.

    You'd never see either of the two aforementioned active fighters KOed by one punch at the end of their career...it wouldn't happen. I personally think that they both have better resumes as well but that's up for debate.

    Any way you slice it it's pretty close.

      And I think against Brewster he has a good chance (see Brewster fight against Wlad).

        hmm

        Great fighters have been KO'd in the past and it's nothing new. You cannot call Hops better than Roy when Roy clearly beat him, has better fighters on his resume, and lastly...you are stone drunk if you think beating Jermain Taylor makes you better than Roy. No way.

        Toney on the other hand has a chance, but not just for beating Rahman, puhleez. Rahman blows ****. If he unifies, then we'll talk.

          Yeah,

          I think Toney will play around with Rahman, really.

            you really think that hopkins resume is better than jones?

            okay he beat tito but who else? he never left his division and sat on his titles for a long time. im not saying jones didnt sit on his title, because he did, but through out his career imo jones fough the better competition.

              I dont understand how beating a young and green Taylor = being something GREAT. I just dont see it.

                    yeah unless he gets caught, rahman will be the strongest fighter that toney will have faced. i cant see toney unifying because sooner or later he is going to run into a klitscko who are just too big. same goes for brewster against toney, lets not forget that toney is a former middle and brewster has one punch KO power. toney has a good chin but i cannot see him taking a huge punch from rahman, a klit or brewster and remain standing.

                      Toney has wins over guys like Jirov (better than any win Hops has by a long shot) and he beat McCallum when he was younger than when Roy beat him, and also, Toney has a good win over Nunn. Toney will only have a shot to say his legacy is better than Roy's if he UNIFIES, and that's it. Unless Toney goes back in time and beats better fighters or he unifies, then we don't need to be sayin his legacy trumps Roy's, because that is a falsehood.
