How can anyone defend Hopkins in the “who ducked who” wars for Roy?

[IMDAZED]

tough to say. hopkins was at his absolute peak at that time and was a far better fighter than the guys Jones was fighting at the time. definitely don't see a blow out either way, probably would be very tactical but we'll never know

Hopkins was great but Jones was on another planet. Really, who was Hopkins fighting at the time anywhere close to Roy?

Thats what I’m saying if De La Hoya was giving B-Hop a decent fight, Roy would have been tagging him all night

gonzalez
kelly
woods

holmes
trinidad
daniels


hopkins whole thing was that roy jones was fighting too many soft touches...

hopkins didn't deserved a 50/50 split with jones back in 2002

Felix Trinidad.

Felix Trinidad.

Sorry but a 160lb Tito wasnt anywhere near the caliber of Jones, who woulda knocked him out of the ring in two rounds.
