Agreed...but that was then & this is now. The thing is...back then, Hopkins was raw & unsettled in his style & he still caused RJJ a few problems that night.

:coolclick: Well said. Totally agree. Really like Jones though. Always have...always will...I just wish that he'd retire for his safety. I just don't want to ever see him lying on the mat like that again.
