    when you're a natural lightheavy feasting on welters, why would he skip anyone out?

I'm not accusing him of "ducking" but he didn't fight everyone the division had to offer for whatever reason while Hopkins left no man standing

        Right...but Jones also beat someone at 168 that was worlds better than anyone Hopkins beat at 160. I'll take quality over quantity. Nevertheless, it's a silly comparison. The best way to compare is to look at their overall resumes, who they beat and when they beat them.

              I'm just responding to posts man...

              Trinidad and De La Hoya offer plenty quality by my standards anyway though

                he left prime jones standing when jones told him "60-40 I'll kick your ass", hopkins chose to fight the remnants of the 160lb division until taylor chased him out....

                    Trinidad yes, but he falls short compared to Toney. Waayyy short. And Oscar? Not a chance. Not when Hopkins fought him anyway. Unless you were wowed by his "win" over Felix Sturm.
