Who’s Greater: Roy Jones or Bernard Hopkins?

[-Antonio-]

I actually think the weight took something out of Jones. I mean putting on 20 pounds of muscle, or whatever it was, and then losing it takes a huge toll on your body. Im starting to believe it since, Tarver looked different after he lost weight as well. If he would have stayed at heavyweight, we wouldnt even be having this convo, because with the exception of wlad, he would have had an easy time taking apart the top heavies.

Roy has accomplished more so he's greater, but he's only messing himself up by continuing to fight.

Prime RJJ beat a prime Hopkins.

So I will say....RJJ.

Neither of them were in their prime.

Jones' peak was circa 95-96, Hopkins' peak was 1997 IMO.

And although tito & ODLH were blown up welters, they proved themselves as worthy middleweights & benard knocked them both out! No one still has done that to either of them.

I totally agree with you and I stated earlier that its no easy feat and is and should be a shining momemnt in ANYONES career. Hopkins appeared to totally dominate both fighters and (I'm a Huge Tito fan here) after the second round there was no real question as to who was winning and who was gonna win, in both of Hopkins fights versus DLH and Tito.

However Roy made Hopkins and James Toney look equally bad. His dominance of EVERYONE was so complete that it made good fighters look really really bad and he even made great fighters look real bad, i.e. Hopkins, James Toney.

Here are a few excellent fighters that RJJ beat and made look bad:

Julio Gonzalez 27-0 before RJJ and later went on to win both the WBO and IBF light heavy weight titles. He also beat Glen Johnson.

Glen Kelly 28-0-1 before RJJ, Also went on to win the IBF cruiserweight title.

Otis Grant had 1 loss before RJJ and has won and defended the WBC supermiddleweight title twice already.


Once again RJJ did it fighting above his natural weight which I believe became supermiddle against guys naturally bigger and stronger than he was.

Eubank vs. Hopkins at 175lbs. who wins?

ROFL, you asking JuiceJuice who would win Eubank versus Hopkins is like asking Cuban who will win between the Mavericks and the Heat.

[JuicyJuice]

Eubank vs. Hopkins at 175lbs. who wins?

Hopkins would out-work him at 168.

[jack_the_rippuh]

Hopkins would out-work him at 168.

I don't know why you changed your position all the sudden.
You use to be a Eubank fan now you're a Eubank hater.
No matter what, Eubank KTFO Benn..
