    More naturally skilled than Roy Jones Jr? Come on!

      Roy certainly wasn't prime when Hopkins faced him, but with his extensive amatuer background and Olympic experience, he wasn't green either. Prime Joe vs that Roy would be a hell of a fight, but this isn't prime Joe, so I'd say no. Trinidad and especially DLH were just too small.

        Kessler would beat Hopkins.

          Is Calzaghe the best that Bernard has ever fought? Hmmmm, I'm going to have to reply with "No!" He may have the best record, padded record that is, that Bernard has ever fought, but that's about it.

          Roy Jones is without a doubt the best fighter Hopkins has ever fought. If you didn't see the fight check it out on youtube it answers the question to this thread, completely.
