I think Hopkins got bigger names on his resume but Roy fought the tougher fights.
Ruiz
Toney
Tarver
Griffin
Hill
Hopkins
Reggie Johnson
Mccallum
These aren't star names but this are the tougher fighters considering this is is their natural weight class, and if you notice most of them Roy had to move up to their comfortable weight to fight at
Trinidad
De La Hoya
Wright
Pascal
Glen Johnson
Tarver
Pavlik
Bernard made most of these men on his list move up. They are the bigger wins but to me atleast not the tougher or better wins.
Both men are a huge part of history but Roy Jones was clearly the better fighter and actually took more risks. As time goes on Roy will get much more credit, Hopkins as well but I feel a lot of people are riding Hopkins right now because he is winning and Roy is losing.
