I'm just glad this fight has now put an end to all the idiotic Roytards who nuthugg him to no end and are under the illusion that Jones is better than the Legend.
I can't possibly see how one can justify Roy Jones being "greater" than Hopkins; especially as TS pointed out, we are viewing this comparison through a historical lens.
Those are subjective subcategories.
Useless.
You judge a fighter's total career, not in bits and pieces. This isn't a seasonal sport like Football or Basketball.
And in that case, Hopkins was the more consistent one, whether young or old. Never getting Ko'd or dominated in a decision loss.
Beat the guys that beat RJJ and then some.
That's true but I think a prime Jones is simply hard to touch. But w/o RJJ's athleticism, he was done. And yes, it is subjective.
I think Roy accomplished more in his prime thaN hOPKINS, AND BEAT HIM WHEN IT MEANT SOMETHING(93). But, gotta give Hopkins his due. I think they both are top 15-20 all time. Roy accomplished something in his career that hadnt occured in over a century, and still is there today. Hopkins did something no man has done, in less weight classes. They are about even. I give em both props and their credit.

Great post. Hopkins owns RJJ career. Hopkins=ATG
I cant name 5 fighters BETTER than Roy. I can 75 who are GREATER though.
Having Hops Top 10-15 is a joke. Roy Top 30 is an even bigger joke.
