ANY DISPUTES AGAINST BERNARD HOPKINS BEING THE BEST POUND FOR POUND EVEN NOW OVER 40? He's going to school Jermain Taylor. Only real test for him at that weight is Jeff Lacy..........if Lacy can hit him. Any clues on how to rescue the heavyweight division?

IDk..B hop is my Boy..I loved him since way back when me n my day usta watch fridaynight fights..I remember that 1 when he lost to roy jones,And i still an't a jones fan..But yeah Hopkins is the best not gonna dispute that fact..For heavyweights id like to see a toney vs klisko or toney vs Byrd but im a james Toney fan as well but B Hop will be around for a min n lacy isn't gonna be a problem.De lay hoya was said to be a problem was he?nopelol
ight fam stay up

I really wonder if Toney can beat Byrd tho. Chris never stays close enough for him to hit. He'll tag him and run the whole match. I'd love to see Byrd knocked out just once!!! I'd love to see Toney/Klitschko and I'd LOVE to see him destroy Brewster!!! Tyson may be the only big money fight out there for him so don't be surprised to see that his next defense. Don't sleep on Lacy tho. It'd be a nice fight.

Floyd Mayweather is the best!

**ILLanova** · 05-02-2005, 05:33 PM

Yeah? And he's fought...............who? I ain't taking a thing from what he's shown as far as skills, but he hasn't been tested but once and he won with controversy. I don't know if you seen it or not, but he CLEARLY lost the first fight with Jose Luis Castillo. Only other notable was Diego Corrales who's good, but not great as Joel Casamayor showed. Remember, you're only as good as who you go up against.

Floyd is ight i like the guy personally but pound for pound he's a no body..Id love to see toney vs klischko idk who would win both them dudes throw they hands n can take punches.
As for toney vs Byrd,toney could know out bryd.but bird does like that hit n run shit but toneys strong and he can take the lil jab byrd will be thrown as he smashes him...

shit toney just beat ruiz for the WBA world heavyweight title! THATS TWO fuckin former middle weights (toney and roy jones) to beat and take the title from phony ass ruiz!

**ILLanova** · 05-04-2005, 02:59 PM

That's why his bitch ass retired. Just too soft for a heavyweight. As for Toney/Byrd? Yeah, Toney can take a punch, but that ain't the point. Byrd has NEVER been known for power, but he's a southpaw who can box and is hard to hit. He'd just outpoint him like he does everybody else. I think Tua knocked him out though. Only big money fight out there for Toney ironically is Tyson. Klitschko is coming back off of surgery so he ain't gonna take that fight no time soon.

And now Toney's been stripped and suspended for steroids. Damn, he was the only thing interesting in heavyweight boxing! Only thing left is Vitali and the up and coming Samuel Peter, but he hasn't been tested and seems one dimensional.
