Hardly lennox lewis, whos hopkins fought someone who started off at super feather dl hoya. If joe does not want to fight in the USA its not the end of the world, why is it you think everybody has to fight in america.

If you want to compare hopkins is no hagler, that is for sure.
Rjjr is no michael spinks.

i have just mentioned two better fighter's now better than either jones or hopkins. Joe has got good hand speed, a very good chin, and he is very un ortherdox. He was a very good ametaur winning 3 aba championship's at 3 different weights. You seem to forget he beat a very good fighter to be champion called Chris Eubank. Tougher than rjjr and hopkins put together.
i like joe but jones has beaten better fighters just to name a few

virgil hill
james toney
bernard hopkins
clinton woods
glen kelly
montel griffin

and for hopkins

howard eastman
felix trinidad
oscar dela hoya
william joppy

i personally feel hopkins hasnt fought that much better opp than calzaghe but 3 of them names wipe floor with calzaghe opp to be honest
