    Hopkins is the naturally bigger guy. He started his career off at 175 when Jones was a Jr. Middle or Middleweight. After his first few fights Hopkins in James Toney's words "ate like a model" & shrunk himself down to Middle where he stayed at for years.

      hopkins is bigger.... he is certainly taller. anyone can fluxuate weight if they train for certain adaptations correctly, but b-hop has a slightly bigger frame.

      that being said, they are pretty close and size and a very fair match-up.

                Yeah I was surprised Calzaghe at the NYC conference was clearly taller and Jones has got a shruken head compared to Hopkins and Calzaghe. He's got a weird small head doesn't help his glass chin. Hopkins is taller and much bigger.

                  he worked very hard to keep his weight around 160.
                  I agree with this.
