Jones Jr. at Middleweight, re: ducking

[ICB]

The difference between Toney and hopkins and Gerald was that with Gerald it legitimately only took one.

He alreday had a psychological advantage over Roy and he was continuously improving as a fighter.

But you forget Hopkins was also a big puncher back in the day, in fact he has one of the quickest KO's in Middleweight history. You could say with Hopkins that it only took 1 as well back when he was a very aggressive fighter.

Hopkins had the reputation of a ferocious frightening deadly puncher that rivaled McClellan, did he?

Did i say that ?? i said Hopkins had the kind of punch that could set up knockout. If he hit you flush back in those days he most of the time shook his opponent badly which set up the knockout. I never said he was in the league of McClellan's punching power but Hopkins was still a big puncher.
