Could Jones beat Hopkins?

short answer is yes. unlikely but yes. jones turned his head into the punch of a strong guy at cw. so long as hopkins doesnt knock him out and as long as jones stays on his feet he can still box.

 

RJJ might not get knocked out again.

 

Lol even this is doubtful. If B-Hop hits him as hard as he did Pavlik, Jones is going down.

 

Roy Jones Jr is done.

 

His reflexes are gone, so he will get caught. Hopkins tags him hard enough.. guess what happens? Say he takes it, he is still fast. He took some good shots from Lacy and while BHOP is lightyears ahead of Lacy, he might not punch as hard. There is a slight possibility. He will get caught. It's all about how he reacts when it happens.

 

I can only see a Hopkins victory in this one

 

bernard did look good against tarver

 

I think he's going to get knocked out again, to be honest.

Ah ****, do we really need to see RJJ getting KTFO again!

A very sad sight.

 

I think theres a very real possibility that Jones could win this. Hopkins is a great fighter who still seems at the top of his game but most of Hopkins big name wins are against smaller fighters, except for Tarver who had already been outboxed and beaten before most of the top good fighters Hopkins has fought who were his own size, have beaten him ie Jones, Taylor twice and Calzaghe, also except for Tarver, Hopkins hasnt fought any other world class LHWs. The last time Hopkins scored a KO was over the much smaller De La Hoya.
Im going to take a guess against the odds and say Jones by close UD.

 

Hopkins definitely punches harder than Lacy at this stage, Lacy has no pop in his punches anymore.

 

Jones would basically have to catch him early, almost exactly the way Green did to him. Then he could win. Otherwise, no.

 

I woulda given roy no chance to beat hopkins anytime in the last 10 years.
