In what I've learned talking to Joe fans today, the W over Roy means more in their eyes than the W over Bernard.
There's this fake ass aura that Jones was better than Hopkins but really that's not the case. He was a more gifted athlete for sure, but he wasn't the better fighter.
Bernard slayed the man that slayed Jones 3 times in Tarver.
Jones was slain by a man Hopkins TKO'd 10 years ago in his prime in Johnson.
Calzaghe had much more difficulty eeking out a narrow SD win over Hopkins than he did battering the piss out of Roy last night for 33 minutes.
Roy couldn't pull the trigger on a damn near 3 year retirement having, 6 year past prime Trinidad who Hopkins blew apart in his prime 7 years ago.
Not to mention the fact that all of Roy's losses come by one sided embarassing knockouts and shutouts, while all of Bernard comes by the narrowest of split decision margins and all are debatable.
Take Bernard Hopkins name off Roy Jones record and Roy's greatness shrinks dramatically. Whereas Hopkins never needed Roy's name to cement his legacy, he did it on his own, and without fanfare.
15 years later the debate is over: Hopkins > Roy.
I'm not ****ting on Roy either, but I've known Hopkins was the better man for years now. And last night pretty much cemented it.

Bernard hates to lose, and a lot of people thought he won those fights.
His argument isn't entirely ridiculous.
