If RJJ and B-Hop fought at various different stages through their careers!!

[BIG H]

Forgetting the weights they were operating at (as they could've both got to an equal weight) who do you think would have won between RJJ and B-Hop had they fought during the years below!

1996

2003

2009


I say RJJ wins in 96, B-Hop wins the other 2.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

For me RJ was still a beast in 2003 (before cutting cutting the weight).

Id say Roy takes Nard in '96 & '03 but he just aint got enough to get the job done these days...

[jokaleras]

Roy takes it in '96 handily. The version that fought Tarver(2003) would get beaten. 2009? Hopkins without a doubt.

[JonesJrMayweather]

Jones wins all three...1996 he may have even stopped bhop, 2003 before going to HW Jones again, and even now the only way to beat a severely faded jones is with activity which bhop doesn't have...so he'd be pot shot and lose a decision.

[Fenster]

1996 = Roy. Fact.

2003 = Roy. Fact.

2009 = Roy. Fact. Maybe. Not sure. Probaly not. Make that Hopkins. Fact.

Antonio Tarver didn't win on activity. I'd say the RJJ that fought Antonio Tarver in there 1st meeting would lose to Bernard Hopkins, he was horrible in that fight.

The 1996 peak version of RJJ at Super Middleweight ? would no doubt in my mind beat Bernard Hopkins.

And the 2009 version of RJJ would beat Bernard Hopkins, based on still having the much quicker hands. And he can still out counter and win exchanges vs Bernard Hopkins. And its not like he has to worry about Bernard Hopkins workrate is it ?

[Truth]

96 - Roy by decision
03- Bernard by dcecision
09 Bernard by TKO

I can't believe anyone would bet on RJJ vs Hopkins now. RJJ is so past it it's unbelievable. But wins over Jeff Lacy and Omar Sheika do that for people I guess

That's why i said before going to HW...if Roy would have fought BHOP in march '03 instead of ruiz he would have beaten him.

your last two comments seem to only echo what i said.
