B-HOP VS. RJJ (WHO WOULD WIN NOW?!?

**The Boxing Artist** · 03-13-2007 05:36 AM

Well its a question that has been busing me for a while. I like both of these fighter's style's. I mean Roy Jones Jr. Well atleast a while back was so slick. I mean dang he could box with his arms behind his back, This man does what trainers tell you not to do. He is a great fighter I mean we cant overlook that. I mean i've seen him though get knocked out by Antonio Tarver in the 3rd round. Now we seen Hopkins destroy Tarver at 170. Which was unheard of a middlweight moving up 2 classes and winning on his 1st try against such a good boxer. Tarver laid Jones but on the canvas. Jones is a slick boxer but I think he been to caught up in his life, like the roster rasing, music, etc. I mean Hopkins was rising while Jones was falling. I mean i havent scored the fight between Jones and Hopkins 1 officialy but what i can see Jones did beat Hopkins. Not playing favorites but i think so. I mean though that was a much younger Hopkins. Hopkins is a legend now. He is one of the greatest Middleweights of all time. I feel robbed by Jermain Taylor's because of Favorites(even though did not score the fight round by round) I mean Hopkins has knocked out ODH(Who people say went down because of the GBP thing) He sent Felix Trinidad into retirment. He has beaten 20 people to hold on his title and breaking records. Hopkins is a boxer who is intellegent. He is a big counter puncher. A chess master if you will. Hopkins vs. Roy Jones is a style makes match example fight. Roy Jones with his flash style and Hopkins with his brains on defense. You dont know what could happend. I mean he squabled Tarver. So asking you who do you think woudl win. I go with Hopkins. Jones is washed up to me now.

Hopkins hands down. Jones will never win a major fight again as he knows if he engages he will get sparked out.

If they do fight it's an uneventful UD for Hopkins.

Roy tries to win, he's staring at the ceiling

hopkins would win. roy's bad habits have finaly caught up with him. he needs to start jabing again and keep his hands up. his skills aren't they use to be and he needs to make ajustments.

I totally agree with yall. Jones is a bit of a big talker as well. Have yall seen that after i think a little after the Trinidad fight Hopkins wanted Jones back in feb 2002. Jones was talking thrash and all this. It was pretty sweet.

Hopkins would win an incredibly boring fight.
Jones is a shot fighter.

Even if they weren't both so cautious, Jones could make the fight incredibly dull on his own with the way he's fought the last couple times out... Hopkins would have to chase him to land, but wouldn't be worried about landing too much because Jones Jr doesn't do anythin anymore.
