How come James toney and Hopkins never fought

[TheDynasty]

Just pondering

Were they ever in the same weight class?

They were gonna fight at CW back in the day and then Toney had the achilles injury.

I think they were around 94-95

Toney was a fat heavyweight while Hopkins was never heavier than a light heavyweight. Hopkins would have won if they ever fought at any time at any weight in my opinion. Hopkins was a better, smarter, and better conditioned fighter than Toney. Toney at his best was excellent but Hopkins was a little bit better and much more consistent.
