As far as Roy Jones. Newcomers to this sport saw his youtube highlights and think he still has it because he embarassed Jeff Lacy?
The only thing one has to notice is that this version of Jones no longer has the legs to move out of harms way. He barely used his legs against Trinidad last year, he is still getting pounded up against the ropes.
But little teeny boppers see all his muscle and abs and still think he is the same old Roy. Guess what, he isn't.
Hopkins did well enough in 1993, where he was just a new-comer to the sport, against Roy - a experienced Olympic medalist, that now, he would beat the snot out of Roy. The results speak for themselves against common opponents.
Vs Tito = Hopkins did better against a younger Tito than Roy against a out of shape Tito
Vs Tarver - you already know
Vs Calzaghe - you saw the scorecards
Hopkins was never fast, he relies on experience and wisdom, which he gained as he got older. Hopkins is a master defensive fighter whereas Roy's only defense were his legs, legs he doesn't have anymore. He would get tagged all night.
Knowledgable fans already know this.
