Re: Hopkins or Roy Jones!!!
its a shame that these to big fight stars only met once, and that was a boring fight with b-hop chasing jones around the ring with only a few punchs being thrown.
jones was very physically gifted, which is what made him a lond standing champion, i for one have never been a big fan of his but always give credit were its due the man was a champion
b-hop in his hayday was clever and super tough who mastered a long rain
if they had a rematch i feel b-hop would have won and then won the rubber match to

Have you forgotten that Jones is the one that lost consciousness?
did he? or did he just close his eyes because they told him to lay back ;) And I think it was more slamming the back of his head on the canvas then the punch to the temple, but both will fwock you up if you're not careful. But you don't need to be knocked out to feel that wacko, you have your own methods ;D

Oh puh-leeze.
Don't get your hidden winky all twisted up trying to defend Jones...everyone knows Jones got knocked out two fights in a row...no comeback is necessary for that. ;) :lickish:
Re: Hopkins or Roy Jones!!!
Many fighters have suffered devastating defeats. I'm not saying Jones will come back from this and I'm not entertaining the thought that he will. But looking at both of their careers, those two losses from Jones won't ruin his legacy because it doesn't take away from the years he had already done already ;)
Since you're such an avid know and if you'd pick Hopkins
How about you name me someone Hopkins has beat that is better then james Toney was ;)
Re: Hopkins or Roy Jones!!!
How about you throw Hasim Rahman's name along side Roy's in that respect, considering the Toney he beat was in just as piss poor shape as the Toney Roy beat ;D
Re: Hopkins or Roy Jones!!!
Not really, I think that James style was nullified by that of Roy's. rahmans style was one that Toney SHOULD HAVE dominated but he didn't :( James seems to lost commiting and right now IF he fights Samuel Peter..then he needs to be 220 for that fight
Re: Hopkins or Roy Jones!!!
Don't get me wrong, I too feel that no matter how good of shape Toney came in, Roy wins. But what he did to Toney was batter a guy who had to kill himself to make weight, all the while when Roy is coming into his own at his absolute most comfortable and dominant weightclass of his career. Not exactly even ground.
Re: Hopkins or Roy Jones!!!
As Roy told Toney as Toney was talking about knocking Roy out and Roy told him 'I'm your huckleberry' :lol:
wait let me go find that interview

beating Tarver the first time took LOADS of heart ;) So did beating Hopkins with a broken right hand(which was broken before the fight happened) beating Telasco with a fractured wrist and NOT pulling out of the third tarver fight despite a broken right hand. These are the kind of things Joe Calzaghe pulls out of fights about ;D
I don't believe for two seconds that Roy Jones went into any fight with a broken hand. He's the same fighter who is notorious for his fear of great injury. (That, I won't visit Gerald McClellan thing) Why would he go into a fight, especially against a figher who's already knocked him out, with a broken hand?
In general, i think Roy works his oppenents better, and Hopkins works the direction of the match better. Hopkins is better at setting traps.
Re: Hopkins or Roy Jones!!!
hands down roy jones...everyone is still hyped because hop beat up the loud mouth tarver...give it until the next big fight happens and everyone will come back to reality....just after oscar beat up mayorga he was all of sudden back and ready to beat up everyone....including PBF....just wait until the high and excitement from hop beating tarver goes away those that are trying to make themselves believe that hop was close to roy will come back to reality...
