Toney: I'll KO Hopkins

[SweetPea]

This is just Toney running his mouth. I doubt he could even get down to 215, let alone 185.

[C-Lo]

Hows Toney gonna make 185?

I'd like to see this fight just to hear the shit-talk beforehand.

The pre-fight banter would be "LEGEN...wait for it, hope you're not lactose intoletrant cause the second part of that word is...DARY!"

If Toney somehow found a way to make 185 the fight would be cancelled because Toney would pass out during the weigh in...

[SweetPea]

Also, as bad as Toney looked against Oquendo, I'd pick Hopkins to beat him even if the fight were at heavyweight and Toney weighed 225 or 230.

[JT Rock]

agreed this fight is 10 years late, I always felt Toney could handle Hopkins just fine.... I doubt James could lose the weight, but if he did it wouldnt be as bad as Byrd or Jones, since he is more fat than muscle and his style isint really based off athleticism or unreal reflexes.

Shame it wont happen

I'd pick Toney if he could get down to that weight for the simple fact that he's used to being bigger and he'd finally have enough crack in his punches to put a dent in somebody. But then again, Tarver had pretty much the same idea.

I have no doubt that if Toney really signed for the fight that he could make the weight. It's a matter of will with him and I don't think he would sign if he didn't have the ability to stay away from the refrigerator. That being said, Toney looks like he's thinking about a cheese burger at the end of every fight so I doubt he'll fight as anything else other than HW.

[holmcall]

The only thing he will KO is the nearest Chinese Buffet. He has become a delusional slob who needs to STFU.

[Pugilistic]

Hopkins would easily beat Toney at this stage.

Toney is past it.

There is no way Toney can make 185 anyway.

Even if the fight was signed, I think Toney has ZERO will power to drop weight! He loves food too much and I'm not saying that in a joking manner. I doubt he has the discipline regardless of what was offerred to him to make the fight...

OH SNAP! That was funny!

[HattonTheHammer]

The only possible chance you could give james toney is to win by doing something that Roy Jones, Joe Calzaghe, jermain taylor, winky wright, kelly pavlik, oscar de la hoya, felix trinidad etc etc all couldnt do and actually stop hopkins.

Otherwise even at 185 toney will still be a very straight forward fighter that hopkins will simply run rings around and take a unanimous points decision or even a late stoppage.

[BoomBoom]

I always wanted to see these guys fight, but the timing never seemed quite right. Its still not imo. Toney probably could get down 185 and he would. The payday would motivate him. But, at 40 I dont think that its a smart thing to do, could turn out like Chris Byrd. Hopkins would likely be more comfortable at that weight, even though hes never fought there before.

[The Fightfan]

The first thing I thought when I seen this was liposuction. There is no way in hell this man will make 185 lbs. F**K Toney.

[Majesty]

Next Toney will be saying he'll move down to a catch weight 154 and KO pacquiao
