    This would have been great at one point, maybe when James was at cruiser.

    Now James has slown down too much probably, Hopkins a bit too quick.

    Yea maybe, I don't really like the idea of Hopkins putting on 25+ pounds to fight at HW this age though? Toney could just be to strong having been walking around so much bigger for years. Either way it wouldn't really have a lot of merit if it were to happen at this point imo, neither guys have the time to waste on this.. Toney might have something left he might not, Hopkins definetly does but how long would it take him to put on that much weight properly yada yada..

    I have no idea how Bernard Hopkins would get to 200 pounds, his frame isn't that big. And his attributes would go down the toilet if he put on that much weight, plus James Toney would have atleast 30+ pound advantage.

    This would of been great to see when they were both at there best, two of the most skilled throwback fighters of this era. But its simple mathematics no way Bernard Hopkins can get that high in weight healthily IMO.

    He wouldn't go up that far in weight.

    At least I'd be shocked if he did. Probably no more than 180 at most.

    Now I'm talking about this like its an actual possibility

    I only brought up the possibility on the merit that, Hop said he was willing to fight at heavyweight against Maskaev a few years ago.. I know it wouldnt happen but I think its definely has some appeal, even if James trained properly and got back down to cruiser..
