I have to say in the beginning I bashed hopkins after folowoing him at the end of his career I have to say now he was a far superior fighter than the version that lost to roy in the first fight, albeit at light heavy I think hopkins had a ral chanc eof beating a prime jones in a rematch... if he was busy enough, hopkins doesnt hit tremedously hard is not lightning fast but he has an overall package his defense is tight he doesnt throw wild and loopy punches like joens likes. i know beleive even if roy beat b hop the 2nd time it would be MUCH closer...
