No matter when it happens I just think it's an ugly ass fight. James Toney and Bernard Hopkins their styles don't match. Toney allows guys on the inside and Hopkins likes to gore his opponents with his head down and act like some sissy ass Italian soccer player whenever he's close to being fouled. Both guys would be gunning for the right cross/overhand right. Hopkins would try to utilize the jab and maybe it's effective, maybe not but everything else Toney rolls with and counters.

I think a fight vs Eubank or Benn or even Steve Collins would have been a lot better looking.
