    :good I was thinking only in terms of who would he be most likely to beat. But I agree with your analysis of Sturm, hes a belt holder and thats about it:D

    Nard hasn't been avoiding a damn thing. Roy has been avoiding a long overdue, good ol fashion passionate ass whoopin at the hands of B-Hop. That's why Roy was spending his time beating on civil servants and garbage HW's instead of taking on a real champion.

    See....there's that bias I was talking about. In the end, you know you can't back this statement up. But it's all good, cuz you're just showing love for your fighter.

    The only think Nard has been avoiding until now is Joe Calzaghe

    Roy and its not even close

    Roy's resume is ****ing unbelivable and the way he beat his opponents is even more impressive

    I disagree, Hopkins should have taken the 40/60 split and fought Jones back in 2002.

    I have to go with RJJ too. He beat the better competition,had faster hands, and had serious one punch power. I think the power is the big difference between the two fighters

    It is close. If Mayweather keeps winning, and especially if he beats Cotto, he will become greater than Jones.

    By the way, I don't think Jones beat a prime Bernard.

    I honestly don't think that anybody could've beaten RJJ in his prime from 168 through 175. He was just out of this world. People say he fought nobody but a quick look at his resume will tell you that is crap. He only made them look like nobodies.

    Kind of logical.

    Hopkins was young, not experienced, and we have to add the fact that we KNOW that his prime was late on his career.

    Jones was also young but there is a big difference. He had a lot of amateur experience and also professional experience against some contenders.

    Bernard had 100 fights in the amateurs if I recall correctly and he wasn't young, he was 28. So there is no difference.

    And we don't KNOW that his prime was late in his career. He didn't lose for years after losing to Jones. People say his prime was later on because that was when he finally got some recognition for beating Trinidad. What information do you have that says his prime was late in his career?
