What does that do for the Hopkins/Jones comparison?
For years, people have talked about how Jones was the more athletic of the two, and Jones has the win in heads up competition. But, Jones also fought the lesser opponents for the most part and Hopkins reigned sumpreme in his division for a decades span. (Even though, it was a less-than-stellar division)
Jones was known as the more naturally talented fighter, but Hopkins was known as the more intelligent guy in the ring. Though, prime-wise, they both had a fair balance of the two sides.
Jones had multiple titles in multiple divisions. But Hopkins unified and continued to defend.
BUT, though they both rose to prominence, at roughly the same time (Though, Jones shone brighter and was a bit earlier), Hopkins outlasted and reigned as the p4p king for quite some time. A lot of people have Hopkins over Jones right now, in terms of what both accomplished and that alone.
However, if Jones beats Calzaghe after all this, what do you think of the comparison?
