A 20 ft ring and 15 rds, ray wouldn't have seen the final bell.

Dancers, boxers, they want a big ring.
Aggressive types, pressure-fighters, they want a little ring.

I think Roy Jones would've beat Hopkins the 1st fight no matter what size ring they fought in.
What surprised me the most is the intensity with which Hopkins overwhelmed Glen Johnson, and Glen Johnson was not a bad fighter. Hopkins made him so busy, that he had no time to think. I believe, Johns might have more troubles with Hopkins, a lot more infighting
