    So very true, whoever wins that fight will be proven to be the number one contender. A win would aid both fighter very well.

      Hopkins v Toney that would have been a classic, too bad
      It'd be interesting to see a Jones/Hopkins rematch after all these years, a lot has went on since then for both guys, the Johnson fight this week should give us an indication where Jones' head is at.

        I think we will see Roy fully recharged. Hopefully Tarver did him a favour and brought back his motivation when he got beat by him. As for the Toney-Hopkins now you are talking my language, that would have been an amazing fight to see. Both fighters are are very aggressive and the style matchup would have been interesting too. I give Bernard the edge in speed but i'd give Toney the edge in power. He can punch from all angles but yet again if Bernard got him on the inside he may be able to make him pay. That fight sounds amazing. (By the way i was refereing to a middleweight Toney in that rant i just had) I watched his fight against Roy the other day, Roy was something else back then. I watched Toneys return bout against Montell Griffin too, i didn't know the result and i was shocked. I scored Toney winning that fight and the judges gave Montell the decision. Toney wasn't too upset though because that was his first fight a light-heavyweight.

          If Jones tares through Glen Johnson like I say he will, who wins a fight between Roy Jones and Bernard Hopkins at light heavy-- Even though Hopkins is on top of the boxing world right now, I would go with Roy.

            I only read about the Griffin fights but it seems both were quite close especially the 2nd one, Toney v Hopkins? can't pick it i'm afraid
            I think if Hopkins was to fight Jones again it would be at a catchweight, because both guys are known to be difficult in negotiations and wouldn't want to give any advantage to the other, i'd go for Jones as well if he's like his old self.
