JT vs BHOP

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

This has always been one of those fights I could see either way. Either Hopkins keeps Toney at bay with the jab, and he ties up and mauls his way to a close win, or Toney's shoulder roll and counter prove too much for B-Hop and send him on the run. The style matchup kind of reminds me of Walcott vs Charles, although B-Hop isn't as smooth as Ezzard was.


I think Toney wins by decision more often than not.

Nice comparison

Although just to attempt to skew your perception a little; Walcott was the more 'deceptive' of the two, with Ezzard being more of an 'honest' fighter.

With Hopkins and Toney, it would have been slightly different.

Maybe Archie Moore would have been a better comparison for Toney
