Hopkins Vs Toney @ MW

[rjj tszyu]

Been looking back at when Toney really was a great fighter tonight in preparation for his fight with Randy Couture later on, and one fight that I'm sure has been looked at before on here but never happened that springs to mind is a fight with B-Hop.

At the moment I am not voting as I am totally undecided on who would have won had they met at middleweight which I believe to be both men best weight.

I'm going to go away and watch some fights involving both but I'm not going to take the Jones fights into account simply due to the fact that, yes Jones did a better job on Toney BUT he had a broken hand when he fought Hopkins and still pretty much dominated, just not in the same fashion he did against Toney.

I think MW toney is too active and beats bhop on points...

In bursts Toney is the more classy fighter and his handspeed would catch the eye but over 12 rounds Hopkins is more consistant. They are well matched but theres 1 area where Hopkins is clearly superior and thats discipline.

Hopkins wins this on points

Gotta agree with the discipline. I don't think Hopkins will ever weigh 237 or look at all fat for that matter. I think a lot comes down to pride too, Hopkins would be too proud to look like Toney did last night.

I'm still undecided as to who would win at MW though. Toney was in good shape in those days.

Good shape? Well he may have looked it but that because they had to put his fat ass in a human size food dehydrator to shrink him to MW from Cruiserweight.

I wouldn't mind seeing this one now at heavyweight. It's better than RJJ fight. Both are old and slowed down but neither have been ko'd. Not like they are pressure fighters either so it could still be interesting.

I agree on discipline and endurance. They about killed Toney to get him through the weigh in and then he looked about half there in the fight. I think Hopkins would have won clearly.
