    Thank you, and yeah, Hopkins was definitely talented when it came to making adjustments and fighting different styles. Later in his career, he didn't utilize the jab and left hook in the same way he was able to when he was younger, but he always had an incredible understanding of distance, and he always had an uncanny ability to create openings for that sneaky right hand. But back to his left hand, I think a lot of people forget that he had a solid jab and a very nice left hook when he was younger.
