I don't quite buy that Erics. Even in peak form Hopkins was never in the same universe as a Hearns or Benitez if you're talking about talent. Given that he was basically an amateur against Roy I don't rate that as a great win or performance. McCallum was flat out past it although obviously still very good and a threat to anyone else, but same goes for me. Toney is the real enigma on Jones resume, he was a great fighter no question but truly did look like shit against Roy.. How much of that had to do with being weight drained as opposed to thrown off by RJJs athletecism is hard to know imo. It is possible that Roy was truly good enough to put great fighters into a trance like that, but had he faced talent equivalent to what SRL did it's hard to imagine he wouldn't have gotten tagged at least a bit, and that's where it becomes anyones guess. I don't think anyone would tell you with a straight face that they wouldn't rank Jones as a better fighter IF he had retired at some point before he lost, but despite what effect you think weight loss or whatever else had on him the fact is we do know he was nowhere near as tough.
