Also dont forget, Roy fought mostly one handed in the first fight. With two good hands, more speed, more strength and more skill, Roy greases Bernard easy.

Tell me about it. The way hops looked in the rematch was downright pathetic. Rolling all over the canvas by a tap to the back of his head. Dude was groveling for extra points. The funny thing is, in his mind, he probably thinks that was a legit victory over a live roy.

Clearly this guy is a bhop hugger that wants to read opinions but no matter what will never say RJJ would beat hopkins... RJJ from 1988-2003 beats any version of HOP 9.5 out of 10 times.... I'll bet he even uses the typical Bhop fan excuse that bhop was too green when they fought and he lost the first time even though RJJ was ranked #2 and Bhop was ranked #1....

This notion of hops being " green " back in 03 makes me laugh everytime. Its just not true..

Hopkins would be lucky to win more than 2 rounds.

Roy Jones was still a phenom at this time, lighting fast, nearly unhittable, and had some heavy firepower.
