    This fight took place in 1993, with jones winning a UD, over a full 12 round, hard fought, match-up.

    You clearly have no idea what your talking about. I've read about 4 or 5 of your posts today, each of them more idiotic and stupid than the previous.

    How about replacing all the keys on your keyboard with the letter Z , so that your not misinterpreted in the future ?

    See ?

    Yours are no better. They are simply bashing posts with little to no actual knowledge coming forth. Hopkins was in his prime at 35+ lol....sure he was. That's why he became a counter puncher as opposed to the pressing break-you-down fighter he was in the mid 90's.

    Face it, you want to discredit Jones. Cool for you, but even Orisha does a better job.

    When they last fought they both fought scared. I am not convinced that Roy really won it but the fight could've went either way. Not sure who'd win prime for prime. Both of them were nearing their prime when the first fight took place but neither was quite there.

    Not discrediting Jones anymore than he needs to be. A top100 ATG and a top 10 LHW of all time.

    But he's not the best fighter of the last 10-15 years like everyone thinks.

    Hopkins, De la Hoya, Toney, Trinidad are ahead of him and in the next 2 years Mayweather, Calzaghe, Pac and Mosely may POSSIBLY be as well.

    Whats age got to do with it ? People age differently and Hopkins has got better as he's aged, unlike Jones who after being caught using anabolic steroids went on a sharp decline untill he lost 3 times to Tarver and once to Glen Johnson.

    Add a 5th loss to his resume when Tito knocks him out in January.

    Sure you are. You count Jones losses more than you count others. And you discredit his wins while giving others credit for theirs. Thats called "bias". Jones at worst is the 2nd best fighter of the past 15 yrs.

    Hopkins hasn't gotten better with age. He adapted his style and has gotten away with being purely defensive against inactive fighters or smaller fighters. There is a reason he hasn't fought a prime fighter in 2 years.

    And when the hell besides Toney, did Jones fight a good prime fighter in his entire career ?

    Oh wait, Antonio Tarver. Look what happened there.

    What do you call good....because if Tarver was good, I would say the guy who beat Tarver was good too. Harding. So right there you have already lost that argument.

    What do you call good?

    Harding broke Tarver's jaw in the first fight and won on all cards. Harding was winning on all cards before Tarver stopped him in the 2nd fight.

    I would say if Tarver is considered good, Harding was good as well.
