Bernard Hopkins: "I think James Toney is going to get his ass kicked"

Bernard was strangely coherent in that interview, maybe Roy's rabbit punches have knocked a little sense back into his head.

He's right though, James is going to end up on his back getting grounded into dust, I'll stay keep my fingers crossed for an upset though

Agreed. Toney is going to be in deep trouble because it is going to go to the ground pretty quickly.

by a white boy no less

Why didn't Bernard open his mouth about James when he was a professional boxer? Why haven't I heard Tony's name come out of Bernard's mouth even though he had numerous opportunities to call him out? Hopkins needs to shut the fuck up. Toney is a better fighter than him and he's jealous.

Nice pics King.

Hopkins vs Toney is a great fight that should have happened. Weight is probably why it never happened, by the time Hopkins moved to Light Heavyweight Toney was a Heavyweight.

TOney get his ass kicked by Couture gets booted from UFC, Hopkins vs TOney at heacyweight

That is very debateable!!

James Toney had more talent than BHOP could ever dream of. He also squandered quite a bit of that talent.

Agreed. I don't see much of a comparison between these two at all. One guy fights everyone from MW to HW while the other has his biggest win ever over a blown up welterweight.

Wow. I won't touch that.

BHop is right though. Couture takes Toney down and ends it. He's not going to try and prove he can stand with him. I think it'll be bad. The X factor is that Couture is old. Not anything Toney does.

I hope ur not 1 of the guys who hate Margo for cheating and then talk about how good Toney is especially with his steriod use?? He may have had more talent than B-Hop but no where near the heart or fight. U say he moved up to fight at HW?? He had no choice he wouldnt train for shit. He moved up cause he could eat whatever the hell he wanted. He was never a serious HW fighter in my opion. Beating Evander just doesnt sell him to me at HW. B-Hop had a nice win vs Tarver at light heavy and it may not sound like much but Roy couldnt do it. Yes I thought Tarver beat Roy in the 1st fight also. So they are at least debateable.

I rarely,if ever order PPV's,but I will buy this one.Solid undercard,if I'm not mistaken.

There's a funny article on Toney in ESPN the Mag. I'll scan it later if people want.

I would like to check it out if u could.
