Anytime Ive heard about that fight it was because Hopkins was green that Roy won. I was just wondering if a more experienced Hopkins would be giving up some of the speed he had earlier in his career, and if he was giving up even more speed than he did in their fight what could he do to win.

same as i think, people say hopkins changed aload since then and that he was an always move foward pressure fighter back then, but whne he was fightin jones he was fightin just like how he fights now

it's very doubtful it would happen

circa 2000/2001

he would at least give Jones a hell of a fight.

In about 2001 or 2002 he would have given Jones Jr. a run for his money but I severly doubt that there is a time in his career where he could ever beat RJJ

lol pretty much agree with that boxasmash but i think the bernard that beat johnson and tito probably has the best chance.

you're right in that bernard still fights now how he did back then, but back then he would sometimes come forward more often, his level of comp he was fighting pre-jones was moderate, he could get away with mistakes, but the fight with RJJ showed that he needed to play to his own strengths, going forward wasn't one of them.

later on in his career he almost stopped being the aggressor altogether, maybe it was apprehension but he does look uncomfortable and awkward when asked to come forward (against a good fighter who can counter i.e. not pavlik) which is why we dont see him moving forward so much.

bernards losses to fighters like calzaghe, taylor and RJJ shows that he struggles with speed, hence he wont fight dawson. any version of b-hop loses to a green RJJ
