    Mayweather and Jones could of probably won a world title after about 10 Pro fights,if they had been thrown in sooner.

    Hopkins would of never won a world title with so little Pro experience. Hopkins admitted himself he went through changes as a fighter to improve.
    Exactly. There was no comparison in their amateur experience, and if you look at the level of opposition as a pro, there really isn't any comparison there either. Hopkins hadn't faced anyone with a pulse when he fought Jones, not even a single top 50 contender.

    Jones was not even anywhere close to being as green as Hopkins when they fought.

      Yep.

      Its like saying Al Seeger had more pro experience than Gamboa so therefore you would expect Seeger to of won, its doesn't work like that, Gamboa probably has more experience than him, becausee the guy had over 400 hundred amateur fights and, he has probably been Boxing longer than Seeger.
