    You can spot the rubbish posters from a mile away, because they never explain a damn thing.

    Not to mention Welterweight and Lightweight :yep

    Jones never had to stoop to those levels to make himself look good. He fought guys that were bigger than him most of his career.

    Very close between Hopkins and Jones. A vote for both is what I'll go for if the option was available but since it isn't I'm leaning towards RJJ.

    You have to lean towards Jones in this one, he beat Hopkins when they were both close to prime and when it came to a rematch Hopkins shamelessly ducked him.

    As a sidenote I'd have loved to see Toney V Hopkins a few years ago - it'd probably be a freakshow now but 10 years ago at a catch-weight....I think Toney wins. Out of the 3 of them I'd say Toney is the best fighter but he has the worst resume due to poor discipline.

    Jones proved that he's far better than Toney when they fought.

    Close but Hopkins. He proved he could recover from a loss, RJJ couldn't, Hopkins has never been KO'd and he Excelled in his later years. To go with his other notable victorys and his long title reign at Middleweight.

    I know that.

    But how do you see a Toney V Hopkins fight panning out :huh Jones is in my opinion on a different level to both these guys but I'd love to see Toney and Hopkins squaring off for the "2nd to Roy Jones title"

    I think Toney wins, personally, as long as it's at 190 or above. Under that weight then it depends on when it happens.
