    Although having said that, if Eubank prepared properly (like he did for Wharton fight) he probably could of kept up.

    At 175, Eubank wouldn't of been so severely weight-drained and maybe he'd of had abit of stamina. It's hard to say, but Hopkins (at his peak) looked like he had a style that was all wrong for Eubank..

      I'm not interested in your biased opinion anymore.
      You're done.
      It's obvious that Eubank did something wrong to you since the time you joined 'til now, because you've changed.

        In 2010 when Jones is 41 and he wins a belt from a weight class above the one he is in... Then he has a lot better chance of being the better of the two. But Hopkins wins right now.

          im looking at it this way, jones ran the race to imortality quicker and better than hopkins did when both were running it. hopkins is still running it however, and i dont think it would be too far off when i say that hes running bit by bit better every fight. jones jumped up to heavy and actually won one. hopkins stayed within his **** and won and won and won (except to taylor of course). he even won one at light heavy, jones' comfy spot. if he defends it like he did the middle then id say hopkins and jones would be at a tie. thats how im looking at it.

              I agree.

              I think He's the greatest fighter I've ever seen. Since Sugar Ray's achievements are so daunting, it's tough to claim outright he was a greater fighter.

              But Roy would have mopped the floor with him at 168 or any other if they fought in their primes.

              Prime best P4P fighter of all time easily.

              SRR is the greatest "fighter" of all time achievement wise.

                    B-Hop for sure. We all know Jones didnt want the rematch. 70/30 split give me a break.
