We all know how this ended in real life, but it seems reasonable to say that Hopkins was further from his prime than Roy that night. So who wins at 160 when they are at their respective best? And could Hopkins possibly beat RJJ above 160?
Hopkins is one of those poor *******s that came up against his stylistic cryptonite. Like Liston with Ali, it doesn't matter how many times they meet, Jones will win.
I agree. I also think Pernell Whitaker would be Kryptonite in the same fashion for Floyd Mayweather, I think Sweet Pea would win that fight 100 times out of 100. Even the most skilled of fighters have their Kryptonites.
