      Wow, Hopkins said Joe was a harder fighter than Jones? That must mean that Calzaghe is the greatest fighter of all time.

          How is Calzaghe style wise harder?? When he could have gotten the nod against Calzaghe

          Today RJJ is the only fighter that Hopkins accepted beat him without a shadow of doubt

            I think Hop is just saying that to piss off Jones to be honest... Roy beat him convincingly. Bernard even admitted he lost to Jones.

              They have very mutual dislike between each other, visible in that interview

                B-Hop explained it in the video......Joe throws punches in bunches and with Bernard being a counter puncher at heart, its hard to get off......like he said, its not easy to pick ya shots like it is with a Roy who throws at most a 3 punch combo.....Roy is a one punch at a time fighter, he's been like that his whole career......Roy only throws combos when he has someone hurt.....Joe is constantly throwin' punches ......now ask ya self, would it be easy for you to duck shots from a gun bustin' one slug at a time or from a automatic weapon that sprays 10 to 15 ****ers at a time?!?!?

                  Calzaghe fight was harder since it was a close fight. RJJ beat Hopkins easily left no doubt who is the better boxer IS

                  RJJ throw a combo way better than Calzaghe in his prime.

                  What is harder?? 10 slaps or a powerful 3 punch combo

                      2008 Hopkins > 1993 Hopkins.

                      It was too early in his career then. The best time for a RJJ vs B-Hop fight would have been around the time when Hopkins called him out live after a fight.
