Food for thought (Jones-Hopkins II)

The last time Roy Jones Jr. and Bernard Hopkins faced off in the ring:

  • "That's the Way Love Goes" by Janet Jackson was the #1 single on the Billboard Charts, preceded by Snow's "Informer"
  • Sliver, starring Sharon Stone, was #1 at the box office
  • Bill Clinton had been in office for only 5 months
  • Blogs, message boards, chat rooms and even instant messaging didn't exist yet
  • Current beltholder Marvin Sonsona was two years old
  • Mike Tyson was in prison
  • Nelson Mandela had just been inaugurated as President of South Africa days earlier
  • O.J. Simpson was a beloved football hero and movie star
