    'When i beat Bernard Hopkins and won the IBF, the right was hurt beat him with the left' - Roy Jones.

    Even in 1993 Roy was learning his craft and perfecting his skills. It's just that he was and always will be the Great One. He was better than your average boxer. Roy is one boxer who can be slotted into any generation/scenario and he will prevail. When God is on your side no one can stop you from achieving greatness.

    I was happy Chad won. Hopkins always results to dirty tactics when things are not going his way. I mean which other elite fighter has as many draws and NC's as B hop?


    That said I have to add this as I always do when I comment on any B hop thread:

    Hopkins is a wise con-man criminal like Lex Luthor. Roy was Superman. Where Roy goes, the Sun shines and he rules. When Superman left the MW division to go and explore other divisions...Bernard-Luthor stayed behind an unprotected division where he knew he could rule over with the skies clear of Superman. Superman went on to bigger and better things flying high and fighting off bigger villains. Well until someone poured Kryptonite on him and then he was never the same. And then enters Bernard-Luthor.

    Also want to give a shoutout to Imperial1 he did comment on my RJJ thread saying that Chad would beat the con-man come criminal Bernard.

    Hopkins never had the great wealth of talent that Roy Jones had, but he managed top turn mediocrity into world class boxing skills. The strange thing about Hopkins is that he seemed to improve with age. This is quite rare in boxing where men usually reach their peak and then go into decline, some faster than others.
