Will A Win Over Roy Give Hopkins A Better Legacy Than Jones?

[IMDAZED]

Roy's legacy is greater and he's done at the top. Historians always give you a pass for that (and rightfully so). This is a dumb thread.

Seriously. Anyone who thinks Jones losing at the end seriously damages his legacy is being short-sighted. No, history will be very, very favorable to Jones and rightfully so. Not to many fighters do well past 35 and the ones who did weren't doing what Jones was doing at 25.

We can compare what Bernard has done from 35-45 to what Roy did from 35-45.... as long as we can compare what Roy did from 20-30, to what bernard did from 20-30.

Like I said, Jones career consists of his 20's and early 30's... Hopkins career consists of his 30's and early 40's.

You can't just give all credit to who last longer, what about who got there first?

Ive also already stated that... Hopkins had more "star" names on his resume, but most of them had to come up in weight... Roy has less "star" names on his resume, but he went up in weight to defeat them all.

Looking at who and when - the two categories with which I measure resumes - Jones wins.

This is a moot point since Jones also beat Hopkins for his first world title.

Ok he beat the guys that beat Roy, but Roy still beat Bernard... and yeah we can talk about how he was knocked out, as long as we include him dropping down two weight classes to regain the LHW title before he was. Where even in a win, Roy looked horrible.
