If Roy Beats Hopkins? Would it improve his Legacy

I say yes, but he would go on to fight more, and lose it right back.

Regardless of Hops age he is in the top 5 p4p fighters, and he is also in the top 3 of his division.

It would actuallly be a pretty big win.

Roy wins. It would cap a hall of fame , ATG career.

Yes because Hopkins is still a top 5 p4p fighter

What about bigger than his win over Hopkins in 1993. At the time Hopkins was a top contender but not P4P top 5 like today.

It's possible it could be better just based on where Roy is at now and where Hop is at now.

It won't happen, I'll take any bets

Roy's legacy is already intact despite the knockout losses, but what if he beat Hopkins when all odds are against him. Would that improve his legacy in your opinion. He wouldn't be beating a young fighter at there peak like a Chad Dawson but Hopkins has proven to still be a elite fighter so it would be a very quality win on his record.

I'd give him credit for the win, but that's a very BIG if.
