    Jones had, and still has, better footwork (ableit now in a somewhat sporadic way) than Hopkins. He beat Hopkins largely by controlling the distance
    Ring savvy? Control of distance? Generalship? Timing? This is a big claim, its essentially a claim that Hopkins is/ was a better fighter than Jones.

    Again, he did pretty well when they fought each other. You cant beat other great fighters just by virtue of having fast relexes.

    Hes a great ffighter whos also a great athlete. pauli malignaggi has great reflexes, but he fuggin sucks.

    I think thats a sort of hollow phrase that you give to someone whos old. Jones is agreat counter-puncher, better than Hopkins.

    All he did was back up and circle a little.
