haha, i guess it all comes down to who you like best.
imo jones will always be ranked higher than hopkins p4p. prime for prime, jones will always be the "greater". Age makes hopkins look better than jones because of their style.
That's the exact same thing that I said about PBF when he was being compared to RJJ...PBF has a style that doesn't rely solely on athleticism..so he's better equipped to fight as an old man....once roy slowed a bit he got beat..but he maintain that style until 36....whereas SRL was out by 32...
That was a real good point...can't believe i forgot about that...yeah in those regards benard's style was built for longevity, roy was built for speed and agility...but they both have been fighting about the same time so....
