Comments Thread For: James Toney: I Would Have Knocked Bernard Hopkins Out!

[aboutfkntime]

I got it 65-35 in favor of Toney over GGG and 75-25 over Pavlik

Toney is too athletic for both of them and too 'in their face'

I agree Steve

good call

Don't know if he would have knocked him out, but he would have soundly defeated Hopkins. Which is why Hopkins hid out at 160 for so long. Didn't want to face any of that prime talent at 168. Instead, padded his record with an endless string of no-hopers and blown up WWs.

Toney didn't "soundly" beat any top level fighters.

No way in hell he does it to Hopkins.

I don't consider Hopkins opponents top level. He fought journeymen and blown up welters on his way to the top. His best win was Tarver. Given their respective fighting styles, I give Toney a considerable edge. He would not have put up with Bernard's dirty tactics and roughhousing.

Would had been an interesting fight. But could Toney beat GGG or Kelly Pavlik?

Yes. Absolutely. When he was at his best he was a beast.

Toney would beat Snaggle tooth’s punkass up.

Toney to me is way better than Hopkins.

Either way Toney didn't "soundly" beat any top level fighters. He ain't starting with Hopkins.

He put up with Tiberi and Thadzi's rough house tactics and lost to both.

Toney showed nothing to suggest he could beat Hopkins.
