    Who wins it?
    I am a big fan of both fighters. Maybe a little more to Jones but I want Bhop to win.

    Want Jones to win, much more likeable than Hopkins but think Hopkins will definitely be favourite.

    Bernard is going to make roy work and he's going to punish him and in the late rounds he is going to finish out the show

    I agree. I will be hoping that Roy wins, but Bernard started out with much less than Roy and he has been thinking about improving ever since. Today I think Bernard wins before they enter the ring - Bernard will outplan Roy.

    Roy Jones was impressive against Lacy - but he's not pulling any of that on BHop, especially if he comes in well conditioned, which he will.
    Hopkins by convincing decision.

    This is a fight that I've wanted to see for a long time. It may be the first fight in history were two fighters rematch after such a long time, while still being near the top of their game. Both fighters past the age of 40. Hopkins will be 45 by the time they fight and is still ranked #1 in a championless division and #4 pound-4-pound. Jones will be 41 and is #6 in the world. Both coming off dominant victorys, where both have hardly looked better. I would like to see the 24/7 on this one. Anyway, I like them both. Jones is a fellow Floridian who I like very much. I am also a big fan of Bernard Hopkins. I hope Bernard gets redemption after all these years in a fight that still matters. I think Bernard will prevail. My guess is Hopkins W 12 in a clear but maybe somewhat close fight. Remember, Jones still has unbelievable speed, though not quite the reflexes he once had. Anyway, Hopkins W 12.

    I hate to go against Hopkins, as he is one of my favorite fighters, but he hasn't been very active. At least Jones is fighting, albeit not top flight opposition. He might have enough to outslick Bernard.

    Hopkins by convincing decision,possiblly late stoppage but hopkins hasnt shown any urgency to talk anyone out in quite a long time. If this was pre 2002 hopkins he knocks out jones, 2010 hell win 117--111 or 116-112 decision. ........By the way ant jones is not a more likable guy hes an egotiscal a**hole! Hopkins is likable he tells it like it is and he kind of reminds me of boxings charles barkley in that regard.

    this fight happens at least 5 years too late. It's totally pointless right now. It's all about the cash. If Roy loses this time, which I think he will, one of his career-best victories will be tainted in that he lost the rematch. People will start spreading nonsense like 'look, Roy ran for 15 years and then finally got whoopped by B-Hop'.
