    Roy Jones has been a bum for 6 years, he is Roy Jones Jr in name only.

    He'll be lucky to survive the 12 rounds and win 2 of them.

    is it so implausible?

    B-Hop lost to Jermain Taylor, twice, 5 years ago.

    ponder that for a second.

    B-Hop is not a volume puncher, not a knock out puncher. Could easily lose on points.

    I tentatively picked Dirrell but unfortunately I'm not going to go with this sentimental pick, Hopkins will win ;)

    lol it's funny how people STILL give Jones a chance, the only way he wins is if Hopkins get's shot overnight.

    You can get Hopkins at 1/4 just to win the fight in the British bookmakers, thats like a free 25% on your money, you don't get kind of interest at the bank :D

    Consider Jones recent form especially since his move back down from heavy then come back and answer me that same question please.

    I love Jones and hate B-Hop but Jones is going to have his arse handed to him, to call him a shadow or/and a shell of what he used to be would be a major understatement

    You got to pick Hopkins in this match up. He has a lot more left than Jones. Jones still has some of his handspeed and I believe he has a stylistic advantage over Hopkins and Hopkins isn't a high volume or pressure fighter. So I think Jones does ok in this fight but Hopkins gets the win. I don't think he's the underdog some think he is because he matches up well with Hopkins but I see Hopkins by late ko.
