I consider myself a huge Hopkins and Jones fan! I'm still not that big a JC fan, but I respect what he's accomplished, same as the other two.

When I say Joe is too busy for Hopkins, I mean exactly that - Hopkins likes to play chess in the ring, and he's a master at it. But!! 10-12 punches a round just ain't gonna get it done against someone outworking him like Joe would. Hopkins could catch him - he's not a great fighter for nothing - but at this point, I think Joe would overwhelm him. I realize that Hopkins isn't gonna just sit there like Lacy did and wait for it, but I don't think that would make a whole lot of difference.

As for Jones/Calzaghe, I'm sorry. I loved to watch Jones in the ring - alot of us did and still do. But he's a much different fighter now! He's not the same quicksilver boxer he was in his prime. Since Tarver and Johnson taught him what the lights look like from the canvas, he's been reluctant to commit to his offense the way he did when he was on top. I think Roy would've been way too much for JC then, but now it's a whole different ball game. Roy's still a damn fine boxer, but he lost his edge in those KO defeats. While it's possible Jones could outpoint JC, I doubt it - people seem to underestimate Joe's boxing skill ( or overestimate Roy's ).
