No no no no. Never. IF Hopkins ever really thought he could, he would of gone through with the Maskaev fight some years back.
Toney had a phenomenal beard and the perfect style for a man with such a disparity in size...
Makes me wish Tyson had of changed up his style before he hit 30. Can you imagine!
But yes I think Hopkins would have just refused do 'play ball' if they ever fought each other. Toney needs someone a lot more 'honest' to look good against. The heavyweights were all far too slow to be 'cute'... Of course only until Toney lost it completely.
