    I too, think its very close between Jones & Hopkins.... whats rarely mentioned about their H2H fight in the 90s is the fact that Roy was naturally the bigger, more muscular & powerfull man + Roy was at or fast approaching his peak where as Hopkins was still a long way away from his own peak.

    You can bet anything that had they fought in 02 - probably the best time as far as both being closest to their peaks at the same time - then RJJ wouldnt have had it so easy, in fact, Im starting to doubt if he would even win.
