Who’s Greater: Roy Jones or Bernard Hopkins?

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Bernard Hopkins has iced his hall of fame career with a sweet glaze topping with his victory over Antonio Tarver who before hand was perceived as the best in a division two categories above the one in which Hopkins had fought in for the last sixteen years. This significant victory which catapulted Hopkins along the side of such greats as **** Tiger and Bob Fitzsimmons further cements his status as an all time great and raises the questions, “How great is Bernard Hopkins?” and “Should he be ranked higher than Roy Jones?”

Statistically the two are very similar. In title bouts Hopkins is 21-3-1 with one no-contest while Roy Jones is 23-4. Bernard won titles in two divisions and unified the Middleweight title while Jones won titles in four different weight classes, including a Heavyweight title belt and unified the Light Heavyweight title. The similarities end there. [details]

mmmm damn..we know hop is my boy, this one is tuff, they both gr8 in there own way..Jones beat a young Hopkins than dodged the hell outta him the rest of his career..i get tired of hearen he beat nobodies for the belt...they were there had 2b somebody...um course i'm goin with Hop on an average but i would say a peak Jones would beat the peak Hopkins but would b a decision and a damn close one,.

Well I have to say Roy, the guy captured more Titles plus the Olympics. And he did beat Hopkins even though Hopkins was not as well rounded as today he only had like 19 fights under his belt when they met.

Jones beat a young Hopkins than dodged the hell outta him the rest of his career

Hops turned down a $6 million dollar payday for a rematch just because he didn't want a 40-60 split.

How can you rate Hopkins ahead of Jones when Jones EASILY beat him in a one sided decision? You guys make me laugh!

[Xcel]

Easily Jones. Not taking anything away from Hopkins, but Jones easily.

Roy Jones was far greater, and Hopkins was really great himself.

hopkins. the ability to handle and come back from defeat is what seperates the good from the great. roy jones lost and was done, hopkins lost and went on to win another world title in another division from the guy that ended roid jones career. jones was definately juiced and hopkins was more diciplined.
roy jones junior is the most over rated boxer of our time.
