Hopkins or Toney - who was better?

[TheBoxingXpert]

Hopkins or Toney - who has, all around, proven to be the best of them during their careers? To me, Hopkins was always clearly better than Toney, but some disagree.

[fourtheboys96]

IMO, Toney is better except in the discipline department.

[Larry the boss]

Toney had more natural talent but lacked one of the most important things in boxing=Discipline...So to answer the question Hopkins was far superior because he brought it all together and was disciplined and dedicated enough to keep them together..Hopkins also had better boxing IQ..Toney got by on natural talent and defines the term=HARD WORK BEATS TALENT WHEN TALENT DOESNT WORK!!!!!!!!

[NateHound]

Hopkins had the better career because he was a much smarter man...

Toney was so talented but just ****** and lazy with training. A James Toney with an elite work ethic becomes an ATG in my book. The best chin in any combat sport I reckon.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Toney has better skills and more talented... Just didn't have hopkins' professionalism..


But toney was a greater talent,,, the dude was fat and didn't train and could still go hard with any heavyweight in the world

Hopkins better career
Toney greater talent

[Sugar Adam Ali]

And toney has the better wins


Nunn and mccallum crap all over any of hopkins wins, even tito

[Teetotaler]

Depends who had the better roids

[Earl-Hickey]

Toney was one of the most talented dudes ever, has a lot of gifts.

Hopkins lived the life though, took the sport more serious.

It's quite hard to pick who was better since it depends what you are looking for.

For me I have to say Hopkins, I respect the grind more than just being born with crazy talent

[Redd Foxx]

Toney. Hopkins played his career out better but James had skills that few in boxing ever attain.

[Lester Tutor]

Toney was age 34 at 175 against Kazakh thundering Gold Medalist Jirov..
