Seems to be your M.O for hopkins. As this thread was about RJJ, yet for some reason Hopkins got brought into it, which makes sense because Hopkins himself always compares himself to RJJ. Some kind of inferiority complex.
He'll never forget "Sixty Forty I kicks yo' ass" which sent him running the other way....
Guy, you act like I hate BHOP because I said RJJ is better p4p historically. I don;t have a problem with him winning that belt from Pascal. It doesn't change my opinion of him. He's still an ATG win or lose that fight. Don't quite get why you're trying to make it about RJJ vs BHOP. When everyone knows RJJ has been shot for like 6-7 years. I guess Holmes beating old Ali some how diminishes his legacy.
The hopkins-jones rivalry is not my rivalry. I just watch the sport.
Saying BHop just aged better.... Roy ducked BHop for years. Roy never fought anyone.... and when he did he lost. Roy might be the most overrated fighter of all time. He sits way behind BHop in regards to legacy.
Roy sat in a soft division and cherry picked. He avoided any potential real fights. Hs resume is better known for who he lost to. He beat nobody
This is all my opinion. Don't need to go ape shit. I'm just saying Roy is the most overrated fighter ever.
Dude, didn't you see the part where I said RJJ has been shot for like 6-7 years? Of course his legacy his done. So is roberto duran, SRL, SRR, Ali, Tyson....
There isn't a debate. I said p4p historically RJJ is higher. After all the hoopla of YA YA YA bhop just won, and roy did what he's been doing for the last several years which is lose badly. It will still show that when they were in their primes RJJ beats BHOP 9 out 10 times.
He beat nobody? Didn't he beat Hopkins?
Didn't BHOP admit on the radio that roy gave him advice about going to beat up on blown up welterweights Tito and ODLH to make a name for himself, because he was a nobody with a MW reign against nobodies? Three fights against nothing guy robert Allen?
Not going to go apeshit, is it not a fact that bhop aged better? That's not an excuse. Bhop has wins over, tito, oscar, pavlik, winky, (all smaller than him) and two wins over Tarver and Pascal. The two HOFers were blown up WWs, and oscar had just basically lost to Sturm the fight before.
RJJ wins over Bhop, Toney, and Ruiz trumps all of those wins. RJJ is on the list with SRR, SRL, PACMAN, as fighters to win Fighter of the decade and your stance is that for 10 years RJJ fought no one yet earned the award shared by SRR SRL? That's illogical or delusional.
Well if you just want to judge people in their primes, I would say Tyson was the greatest heavyweight of all times. See what I'm saying? You have to look at the whole picture when you are talking legacy. You are hanging onto RJJ's prime for dear life...:p I also put a question mark at the end of that sentence, implying it wasnt a statement....
I'm not saying he's greatest all time, you can't disregard SRR's winning streak and longevity, or Ali's spectacular wins. I'm just saying I think overall B-Hops legacy has surpased RJJ's as of late. Hey, B-Hop could continue on and lose a few more fights badly, and that may change things, you never know.
Stop quoting each other or learn to copy and paste.
Im still hoping for a miracle before this fight :(
