What does Hopkins have that Jones doesn't?

[Gandalf]

It's a variety of things IMO. Hopkins has better fundamentals than Jones Jnr and he also didn't piss about with going up to HW and then jumping back down two weight classes. Jones Jnr messed his body up doing that and having relied so much on speed, was less able to adjust when his body wasn't quite the same. Hopkins went up in weight sensibly and was able to escape looking slightly less good in his final days at MW. In that sense, Hopkins is more savvy and self aware. He's a very smart man which is why I am a little confused about the Kovalev fight.

Id say speed and relexes were such a critical tool for Jones and not so much for Hopkins. These faded meaning Jones' body couldnt do what his mind wanted.

Roy is all talent. Just an on going exhibition of God given talent and confidence.

Bernard..? Well it's very hard for me to put in to words but there are two words that are key for Hopkins:

Adapt. Control.

You look up these two words and you see elements of Hopkins in all of them. In all aspects of his life there has been this ideology that consists of a solid balance between the two very strong elements of adapt and control.
