    To be realistic, I was always wondering about the Hopkins fight we could of had in 2001.

    Nobody beats Roy during his era from 160 to CW. Heavyweight is a step too far, Lennox Lewis was all wrong for Roy.

    At 160-168, not many would be favored or be even money. At 175, there are quite a bit more.

    Yeah, I'd have Roy being a slight underdog at 175 against Foster and Spinks.

    I think Roy beats Spinks.

    Howabout Jones vs Holyfield, but at CW?

    Hearns was more chinny at 160 and up.

    Sure, Tommy was far more experienced by the time he got to MW than the relatively green Jones at 160, but I still think Roy gets to him.
