      Hopkins was a beast against Joppy.
      Yeah, I'm going back to the times where B-Hop didn't have to be preservative towards his stamina.

        you have got to be kidding me, jones had 121 amateur fightes, hopkins had 95
        , hopkins had already won a boxing tournament at the age of 9 whilst roy(who at the time was 5) had'nt even started to box until 10

        anyone that knows anything knows hopkins was prime as can be, right there and then

        but if you want to play the knowledge game, i guess he's prime right now, even roy, considering you learn somethin new everyday

          Neither were in their prime dude. If you've watched enough of both, we wouldn't even have to debate this.

            Hopkins spent 4 years in prison while Roy was at the olympics. Big difference in boxing there.

            Do you actually consider the Hopkins the fought Johnson in 97 or the Hopkins that fought Tito in 01 the same Hopkins that Jones fought in 93 ?

            Hell Jones wasn't even prime then either.
