The tko of Taylor was there for the taking for Hopkins in 1st, but he took shit for granted and tried to play perfection. That was one of those throw bottles at the tv fights in frustration if your a Hopkins fan.
I take Hopkins all day in a 'what if' fight had they met. Toney was a trap setter and his 6' punch was 2nd to none but it really does come down to work ethic for me at that point. This wasn't Hopkins in pure sniper mode and Toney was too patient for his own good and I think Hopkins was to sharp. He would not have fallen into his inside game and think he keeps Toney turning on some flat feet.
And on the link...Tarver just needs to shut up. I mean really.
