    Back in '91, what was your No.1 dream match-up and why?

    Julian Jackson vs James Toney. Jackson was still at the top of his game, and the great James Toney was showing some signs of weakness having struggled with Reggie Johnson, a very old Mike McCallum, and club level fighter Dave Tiberi. Jackson wanted to unify the titles badly, and called out Toney after ever fight. Hindsight shows that Toney may have had the edge, but, at the time, Jackson was destroying people and Toney wanted no part of him. It would have been a hell of a fight.

    Personally I think Toney have would beat him comfortably.

    Toney, in theory, should have handled Julian with ease. But with that power, who knows what would have happened...
