Thread: James Toney pissed about Hopkins being called a legend

FIGHTHYPE \\ JAMES TONEY: "BERNARD JOBBED EVERYBODY...HE WOULDN'T GO 6 ROUNDS WITH ME"

Says he think Roy was flat because of trying to make weight, and Bernard's mother must have had sex with a goat because of the way he comes with his head all the time.

That's how you talk trash, Toney may not have it in the ring anymore, but damn if he had a talk show I'd watch.

Nice to hear someone speak the truth about Hopkins. Fact.

"He wouldn't six rounds with me" No shit genius you outweigh him by probably 100 pounds now. Just shut the f**k up and take it. B-Hop has accomplished much more than Toney ever has and now he wants to talk shit. How about when B-Hop called him out in the mid nineties and Toney wanted no part of him. Toney is nothing but a mouth anymore and I hope his damn ass gets KTFO when he switches to that UFC shit.

Toney is still the undisputed king of smack, if only he could still back it up.

He will be calling out fighters in his 80's I'm sure and still fighting allcomers on some travelling roadshow.

I personally don't like B-Hop but have a great respect for his achievements. Anyway I kept my fingers crossed for RJJ in their last fight

B-Hop has achieved much more than James Toney ? in what way ? James Toney has beaten better fighters than B-Hop, and also moved all the way up to Heavyweight. Plus James Toney was a much more exciting fighter aswell, So in what way has B-Hop achieved more ?

James Toney's Best Wins.

Michael Nunn
Mike McCallum x2
Tim Littles
Evander Holyfield
Vassiliy Jirov
Reggie Johnson
Doug DeWitt
Iran Barkley
Charles Williams
Tony Thorton

Titles at Middleweight, Super Middleweight, Cruiserweight.

And he beat John Ruiz for the WBA title aswell, forgetting about the steroids. Because like they helped anyway did you see James Toney in that fight ? i know rules are rules and i agree with the decision of a NC, but come on James Toney would of whooped John Ruiz 100 out of 100.

...toney is pissed that he wasted money watching that silly fight.

It's not that he didn't face good fighter's I simply stated that B-Hop's reign at middleweight mean's much more than James Toney's championship fight's against decent opposition. I mean Jirov was good but come on did anyone really think he could win? Hell no they thought Toney should have destroyed him it just turned out that Jirov was a much tougher fighter than anticipated. Do I have to mention John Ruiz's championship belt was bought by Don King? And that he certainly was not a good champion and anyone who wasn't ancient ( Holyfield ) or someone who fouled (Kirk Johnson) would have beaten him.

I hate the simple fact that James Toney always runs his mouth and 75 percent of the time doesn't do a damn thing about it. HE trashed mouth B-Hop then and now and wouldn't fight him. He trashed Tarver after he knock Roy Jones cold. Tarver said he would fight Toney and Toney had nothing to say. Here is the short list James Toney has shit on and not done a damn thing when they verbally accepted his challenge.

B-Hop
Tarver
Chris Byrd
Jameel McCline - which was all but done but Toney broke his leg and wanted to postpone and he never signed again, later I believe he fought Rydell Booker.
both Klitschko brother's
And Roy Jones.

All mouth and not enough action f**k Toney.

Why does Toney being more exciting mean he is the better fighter ?

I guess that means Hopkins gets 1 up on Toney for being the more disciplined fighter who came to every fight in top shape. I certainly can't say the same for Toney.

Hopkins should also get another 1 up on Toney for being a clean fighter, another thing i can't say for Toney who has tested postive for illegal substances.

Half those guys you mentioned aren't worth much either.

Giving Toney credit for a win over Tim Littles is like giving Hopkins credit for beating Joe Lipsey. Doug Dewitt and Charles Williams also shouldn't be mentioned.

Holyfield was shot in the Toney fight.

McCallum was old for the last fight. I'll give you the 2nd fight though.

Jirov was a decent win but nothing spectactular. Nunn was a nice win. Same for the Reggie Johnson and Iran Barkley wins. Two Losses to Montell Griffin don't help his resume though.

Toney is a 3 division champ which helps his achivements but his resume isn't the strongest.

Hopkins is a two division champ and defended his middleweight crown 20 times. He didn't lose his middleweight title till he was in his 40s.

His biggest wins are over Trinidad, Tarver, Pavlik. He was the underdog in all those fights and dominated them. He was 41 against Tarver and 43 against Pavlik.

Other notable wins include Wright, De La Hoya, Johnson, Elchols, Joppy, Eastman. Three of his losses came when he was in his 40's and they were close.

Hopkins resume could be better but it's better than Toneys. Hopkins also plans a heavyweight fight this year, a win against Haye would blow him past Toney in the achivements catergory.

Prime for Prime, it would be a tough fight, both guys had what it took to beat each other.

It is the truth. Hopkins is a horrible fighter to watch and let's face it all of his wins since the losses to Taylor have their question marks (except for Tarver though it can be argued that Tarver was old and showed it in Jones/Tarver 3). What do we have, Winky Wright at LHW? That deserves no credit. Pavlik fighting at LHW? Same thing. Ornelas who? And then the joke fight with Jones? Lame. Hopkins doesn't have many skills and wins by trying to outhustle and butt his opponents into submission. He tried the same with Calzaghe who thankfully kept his cool and worked out the win.

Hopkins deserves so many points to be deducted from his tally in fights and yet refs turn a blind eye. There is being a crafty veteran and their is being a dirty cheat. For me James Toney is bang on the money about Hopkins. Well said.

All bollocks of course

Hopkins is an ass and just about the lamest fighter around. But if you cant respect his acheivements and understand why he will be recognised as a hall of famer for generations to come then you just dont get this sport
