    So basically the Hopkins that got dropped twice against Mercado against the Jackson of the McClellan fights. Does Jackson knock him out of the ring like Dubs legend Joe Smith did

    No, I think even at that point Hopkins wins.

    Jackson was VERY far removed from his prime in 94. Jackson's true prime was 87-90.

    Not only removed from his prime, but Julian was prime at 154. He only had success at 160 because of his unreal power. His quickness and skill level was a lot better at 154. At middleweight, he largely abandoned the solid jab and great combinations he threw in the late 80s.
