“It’s the way that you lose, and (Jones) lost on his feet, not on his back,” Hopkins said. “I don’t think the ref should have stopped the fight. (Joe) Calzaghe had him hurt worse than that and they didn’t stop that fight. I think I can still fight him. He went out on his feet, not on his back.”
Against a fighter like Hopkins, Jones probably wouldn’t be so lucky with the feet/back thing. And no matter what B-Hop thinks, the fight lost its marketability the second the first right hand from Green planted Jones on the canvas. So what are Hopkins’ other options?
