Bernard Hopkins Gives Rival His Flowers
© Taya Gray/The Desert Sun, Palm Springs Desert Sun via Imagn Content Services, LLCBernard Hopkins pays huge respect to Roy Jones Jr saying at his peak, nobody in the history of boxing could beat Jones Jr, saying Jones Jr is the best boxer of all time.
Hopkins told Ring Magazine: “He was smart enough to neutralize my best weapons and smart enough to not get hit by my big shots. Even though I got my shots in he wouldn’t get hit by more than one. Like if I got one in and that’s the thing about fighting unique guys, if a guy lands that one shot, normally there’s another coming behind that.
