Hopkins, Leonard, and Hearns could too. I am talking about a prime Hopkins, not the inexperienced one who fought Jones in 1993 and still gave a tough fight.
i dont know why u qutoes me is as214 your other account? a prime hagler would beat anbody in there primes who were at middle
Roy Jones Jr is not Ray Leonard. And one of Hagler right Jab's would probably knock roy Jones out. You get bad Karma for saying Jones could beat Hagler that simply unabideable ******ity. Ray Leonard just ran from Hagler the whole fight and Hagler was at his most game shape for that fight either. It was a bull**** Split descison win. Hardly a victory.
Roy got hit by solid heavyweight Ruiz punches.. You are judging Roys jaw based on his out of prime last fights.. Roy at 160-168 was stronger, didnt get hit as much, and had a decent chin!! Hed have Hagler frustrated lunging all night!!

Dude comeon use common sense.. If he couldnt lay a glove on Ray Leonard who wasnt as fast and athletic as Jones and a naturally smaller man why wouldnt a prime Jones beat him?

Roy Jones Jr is made of fine glass. Keep on saying **** like Roy Jones Jr could beat Hagler and is better than Hagler. You find yourself to alot of ignore lists.
Ruiz did not do **** against Jones by the way. I dont even think Ruiz was trying to win. HE just sat there and let Jones jab him.

Great insult you still didnt answer the question.. What would Hagler do to prime Roy if he could barely touch a man who was past his prime and hadnt fought in two years who was naturally smaller, slower, and didnt hit as hard as Roy!!
Hagler would murder Jones. Hagler was a very smart adaptable fighter. If the situation demanded it he could jab just as good as Winky Wright and win that way, just with his right jab alone. Or he could just plain outbox pretty much anybody, he could switch hit, change from southpaw to orthodox stance at will. Plus Hagler if the situation demande it could brawl with absolutely anybody, he could stand toe to toe with Thomas Hearns John the Beast Mugabi. Hagler would murder Jones. He would box him in the early rounds. The early rounds would be a close tactical boxing match, but Hagler would probably score more points with his jab. If Jones started to outbox Hagler(highly unlikely), Hagler would go in brawl mode then, and there is no possible way Jones could withstand going to toe to toe with Hagler. Not even John Mugabi could stand toe to toe with Hagler. Mugabi was 26-0 with 26KO when Hagler fought him, and Hagler outboxed Mugabi but at one point they went toe to toe and Hagler was the one backing Mugabi up. Like Somebody else said, Hagler is the most complete boxer of all time. In every single part of the game A+ quality, he has no weakness. Hagler is easily the best Middleweight ever in my opinion.
.......................This is how Hagler vs Jones would look. This is your answer.
McKay, you can have whatever opinion you wish, but there are PLENTY of people who believe Jones beats Hagler if they fight.

Hopkins was the champ in that fight, and had just as good experience in the pros up to that point as Roy did. Hopkins' style changed according to who he fought, but Roy got smarter and gained even more experience as well. Hopkins "could" beat Jones, but he wouldn't. There's a reason he gave Jones a somewhat tough fight. First off, Hopkins was already very good whether it was known or he was considered p4p or not. In addition there is the injured hand Roy dealt with. Basically, there's no real reason to think Hopkins would win a rematch. The fight might LOOK different, but Roy would probably win the same amount of rounds.
Leonard would just not be strong enough to take Jones. Jones is just as fast and Ray would not be hurting Roy. "p4p" you might have a point.
