    Don't you get bored of trolling? Why don't you come on here and have a proper debate?

    I'm assuming you're trolling, because nobody with a brain, would come on here and rip Roy's resume, when Joe's was absolutely SHOCKING! Fighting guys like Peter Manfredo at the end of his career, at Frank W's request, to gain U.S. exposure.

    He fought 45 opponents, not 46, and I'm sure you're well aware, that he certainly did not dominate all of them.

    Hiya pal!

    How's things? I'm great thanks! I really enjoyed reading your comments on the footwork thread, the other day. Thanks a lot for your last message, I didn't realise that those videos were on youtube. I watched them last month.

    How many rounds did Jones even lose in his prime from 168-175?

    No way...

    The Hopkins Jones fought could fight 12 rounds without faking low blows to get rest...

    The later version may have been smarter, but physically Roy Jones beat the better fighter... Hopkins was showing signs of not being able to fight a full fight in the Taylor fights, before Calzaghe, Pavlik and Pascal. Hopkins knows how to pick a fight, he is very smart.

    Roy's win over Hopkins is underrated, that fight was fought at a high skill level, Hopkins didn't lose for years later, and was rated higher than Roy at the time..

    Jones is a 4 weight champion, has wins over 2 ATG's in Hopkins and Toney.. He clearly has a better resume than Joe.
