who takes this? I say its a dead even fight for most but roy's speed just nicks it for him on the scorecards
Power:Jones Footspeed:Jones Handspeed:Jones Intangibles:Equal? Skillset: Hopkins? I have to go with Roy on this one, his style is a nightmare for counter-punchers like Hopkins and Toney
jones takes this on points, when theres not a big weight advantage for hopkins, he usually gets his ass kicked by elite fighters.
The fighters who I would say were around Hopkins size were: Tarver, Calzaghe, Taylor I, Taylor II and Jones. His record against those guys is 1-4 I also have to go with Jones by a comfortable UD, his speed and reflexes wont allow Hopkins to play the role of counter puncher. To beat Jones at 168 you are going to have to be a high volume pressure fighter, which Hopkins isnt
I'll take a prime RJJ to beat Hopkins every time. He's just too fast - he's always going to be able to land enough to out-work B-Hop.
