Better Legacy: Hopkins or Jones?

[βetamax]

Better how? As in more enertaining?

And what years do you consider to be Hopkins prime? Because I even have a hard time pinning it down myself, though I think it started around 98-99 and ended around '04. But 'Nard seems hell bent on rewriting what "prime" acually means anyway.

Sure, entertaining but I think a better overall fighter as well. Obviously Jones was the only person to ever convincingly beat Hopkins in '93, a time when neither was quite at their prime though Hopkins was a little more green. It is hard to pick exactly when Hopkins prime is/was but whether you pick Hopkins from '99, 01, etc. I think any version would get beat by a mid-90's Jones. It would probably be closer than their original fight but I'd still give the edge to Jones.

That's fair enough, can't argue with that.
