Yea but when people say that Tony would whoop Hops ass yet he could not beat Griffin both times was out done by him, lost to Thadiz and never clearly beat a fucking 40 plus body snatcher. His best wins are Nunn and Blade considering how high he rated by some that pretty lame top names. I always hear how he would destroy this guy or this guy but on resume is bunch of filler and few top wins. Tony is the most overrated fighter there has been and to say he whoop Hops ass is just plain funny.

Toney was a lazy fucker, he clearly didn't take some fights seriously and had some bad showings for sure. I guess the reason I rate Roy over Hopkins so easily ties into the same thing, I think of who was the best fighter at their best rather than consistent or over a duration of time, just a personal bias.

EVERYONE struggled with the body snatcher though, he was still a way better opponent than Hopkins ever fought during his reign. As was Reggie Johnson, Michael Nunn, and maybe even Prince Charles Williams. Toney was a damn fine 160 pounder when he was on.

Yea i am just saying in a real life situation there a great chance Tony fucks it up more so then Hopkins not saying Hopkins has beat wins ever either. Hopkins just never had that half ass ness Tony did and when it comes to them fighting you got factor it in. Tony came in the worse shape ever against fucking Roy for god sake same shit might happen with Hop. Tony is a atg but he was very beatable in his prime more so then Hopkins for me i just think be safer bet on hop in a close decision but who knows.

Also what was the list for the boxers keep trying to see it on espn site but with out much luck. I think Roys getting torched so bad kinda makes him look more human not to mention the lhw divsion was pretty weak during his time and more fights did not happen with him then guys we say cherry pick today not all being his fault but we missed out on a lot of fights with Jones because of it. I think Lennox should be higher he was the most dominate hw and he avenged the knock outs which happens at hw pretty easy with there size.
