    What you say is true.

    Thats why Hopkins will knock him out.

    this is cool! Not as great as if it was 5 years ago, but still.

    Hopkins has been off for a year (and almost 1.5 years once fight time comes), and jones will have been active fighting the likes of Lacy and Green, so this may level things up for Jones a little, even though Hopkins should be favored.

    They both may need walking sticks for their ring walks but, like everyone else has said, better late than ever!

    I doubt it. Hopkins may win, but he will have trouble...he always has against speedsters (see calzaghe, and even taylor). And he will not have fought since last october, so that's a good year and a half off!

    Roy, in the meantime, is having lots of confidence even if the competition is nowhere near Nard's level, but his speed is still there and will give hopkins fits.

    It will be a close decision... I'm gonna say 116-112 for Roy, but it could be a 115-113 for nard as well.

    He'll win at the bank account. This fight is going to do well on PPV.

    I'm so psyched, I've wanted this fight to happen so bad and I never thought it actually would. They better do a 24/7 because B-Hop will make 24/7 more entertaining than anyone could, including Floyd.

    These are by far my favorite fighters of all time.

    And yeah, i can't wait for the 24/7, especially B-Hop. Boy is that guy fun to listen too.

    Roy's lost enough of his speed that he's lost the ability to avoid getting hit. Calzaghe schooled him. Yes, schooled him. Bernard will do the same. Hopkins' fundamentals are soooo much more sound. Roy doesn't have the athleticism to rely on anymore. I'd be happy to see Roy surprise me. He seems like a really good guy and is a good sport, and obviously an atg. But I just don't think it's gonna happen .

    Yes I don't care how late it is.. I'm super hyped for this.. I got Roy winning this. Long as he stay active lik he did in his last two fights even though Lacy and Sheika aren't in da same league as Hopkins.. I just think Roys speed and combinations will be too much for Hopkins.. Roy in a close UD..:happy
