Hopkins vs James Toney's opponents

[Kid McCoy]

Neither Nunn or McCullum can match up with Bernard. McCullum is a great fighter but simply not on Bernards level, Nunn just doesn't matchup well, while he has the physical strength to match Bernard inside, he is too tall that would be to his disadvantage when Bernard smothers him

McCallum not on Hopkins' level? He beat better fighters than Hopkins beat.

1. Fighting better competition doesn't make you a better fighter

2. McCullum didn't beat better competition. Honestly the only 2 fighters of note McCullum ever beat at middleweight was Sumbu and Collins. I'll take Tito Oscar and Taylor over them every day of the week

Beating better competition does though. Hopkins didn't beat Taylor, so I don't see how that can be part of your argument. You mean Oscar whose only other fight at middleweight was that dodgy decision against Sturm? Can't see Oscar beating Watson, Collins or Kalambay.

ain't you forgetting McCallum drew with Toney (prime) at Middleweight as well as beat Herol Graham (prime), Michael Watson (prime), Kalambay (prime) & Collins (prime) and at 154lbs KOd Don Curry, Julian Jackson (prime), David Braxton (prime) & Luigi Minchillo which out does anything Hopkins achieved

Nunn had the style to give Hopkins significant problems, & McCallum, "not on Hopkins' level!?" Shame, fella!
