There was muttering about the rematch at this time. Here's what Ring has to say about the potential rematch:

Hopkins was 16 defences into his hostoric middleweight reign, ligh-heavyweight champ Jones had just beaten Ruiz for the heavyweight strap...No matter when the fought, Jones' speed would make it a tough task for "The Executioner"...But Jones was never the same after [fighting at heavyweight]...Hopkins was magnificent when he finnaly moved up to light-heavy...he is the smarter, more adaptable, more technically sound fightrer...he would have upset Jones by narrow decision.

I agree with some of the detail, but it's always hard to pick Jones over Hopkins - after all, Roy beat Bernard pretty convincingly. Do you agree with the Ring's surmise? Baring in mind we're talking about the fight taking place in 2003, as described above.

I’ve only just realised that this post was from 13 years ago!

Ha!

I wonder if this happens on any other forum?
