Hehehe no. But it would of been a great matchup.

2 Old school fighters that's would heave been great pure boxing.

Would Hopkins reach advantage be a factor?

That a tough one cause i feel toney was at his best in the early 90's but hopkins was still a little green which you could tell by the jones fight but after seeing jones handle toney like he did i think hop would of faired well. Thats a 50/50 fight. Pure old school. I would love it.

I think that it would have been a good fight, between two good yet different counter punchers... except that back then both could either lead or be chased. I really don't know who would win... probably Toney because he had more experience back then, but who knows Hopkins could take advantage of almost any weakness an opponent has.

I think Hopkins would have won because Toney would have killed himself making weight.

However, if weight was not an issue it would have been Toney with the UD because as always B-Hop would wait too long to start winning rounds
