    Spot on.

    Hopkins views Toney as a master, he's actually said as much.

    My compliments on that avatar dude, straight up badass.

    No. Hopkins will probably face Chad Dawson in a rematch.
    While Toney (IF should beat Lebedev, and that's a big IF) faces either Marco Huck or Antonio Tarver at CW, or maybe even Povetkin at HW.

    Hopkins will not fight Toney simply because the fight makes no financial or political sense.
    Plus, Toney will not comedown to LHW and HOP won't go up.
    Face it, Toney is a small HW and the two have different paths.

    If Toney and Jones are going to continue to fight I wouldn't mind seeing them matchup again. Or even as it's been suggested, Toney-Tarver. The problem is there is no money in these fights and they're better off doing what they're doing now - going overseas and selling their name against a hometown opponent.

    We probably never know...
    But if Toney should somehow beat Lebedev a couple of hours from now, I don't think a grandpa fight between those 2 will happen.

    Toney is a fat bum who's biggest achievement post 40 is coming into a fight weighing less then 200lbs, Hopkins would be stupid to even consider a fight with the notorious roid junkie.

    *Sigh*, two old farts fighting. I'm still rooting for them both and would love to see this match at any stage of their careers. Call me a masochist but I still would love to see this fight. Would be 30x better than RJJ-Hopkins 2 so why not? Despite weight issues but I'm not sure where the hell they would meet up?

    Tarver is more likely then the winner of that fight versus Hopkins most likely.

    Correct, and also the most logical progression for;

    Tarver exposing the hyped Danny Green whose fame increased after stopping the shell shocked Jones.

    Versus

    Toney for exposing the hyped Lebedev whose fame increased after stopping the shell shocked Jones.
