    ..Bernard Hopkins shatters Roy Jones' Glass Jaw in comical fashion with the first jab of the fight.

    This fight won't make it into double figures in the punchstats. Hopkins will paw out a rangefinder jab which will accidentally brush against Jones' Chin and knock him out brutally. :lol::lol::rofl

    How do others see this fight going?

    This is a fight I looked forward too about 6 years ago. Jones is going to lose this fight.

    I agree with both of you, this is a joke fight. Can't believe it's PPV.

    The only reason Hopkins is fighting Jones is for his own personal reasons. Roy never gave Hopkins the rematch that he wanted. And that has bothered Hopkins from 93 till now. So finally this will pull that thorn from his side. But, notice this. Joe Calzaghe was seen at the Mayweather-Mosley Presser in shape. He joked about fighting the winner but was a bit mum about an actual return, could he be inclined to fight Hopkins in a big money rematch should Hopkins win this fight?

    This fight doesn't do over 300K PPV, guaranteed.

    The rematch he wanted? When? When he priced himself out?

    Hopkins unified the Middleweight Titles and stopped Tito Trinidad, he felt he had earned a fair 50-50 split. Roy refused to come down from 60-40 because of a fight that happened 8 years earlier.

    I hope we don't see Hopkins v Calzaghe II. The first fight was God-awful. One of the worst big fights in living memory.

    Anyone else in agreement that this fight is an automatic 12rds.

    agreed because when hopkins is in control he doesn't knock the other guy out but wins on boring decisions,it may be the decades worst ppv

    I see this fight as being a perfect alternative to taking an Ambien. Who's gonna win? I can honestly say I don't give a damn. I really, really don't. Will I watch? Yes, because I'm a boxing fan, but all-in-all, this fight means absolutely NOTHING to me. It won't help either guy's legacy - well, maybe Jones just a bit - if he wins, but it definitely won't do a damn thing for Hopkins. Rest assured people, this will be a painfully, painfully boring fight.
