    I doubt it....but what do you say of RJJ whupping Hopkins all those years ago? Dont you think Hopkins would wanna settle the score? And maybe even thinks Roys so shot he might be able to do it this time?

    pure bull!, before the fight pavlik was the guy who would be the first to knock hopkins out, now evrey1 talks like they foreseen it comming, hopkins was a big underdog, and the pavlik, win is way more credible than roy jones's over lacy, Lacy is garbage anybody who even thinks roy can beat hopkins after that win is clearly deluded, Hopkins would take roy out

    to say Bernard is at the same level or even past his best is just stupid.

    they have different attributes which means roy has a more spectacular prime with his phenom athletacism but its shorter because as soon as that freak athletacism goes then its over as he hasn't got the fundamental base to adapt

    Bernard on the other hand is not a natural athlete but a better fundamental boxer then roy, therefore he stays longer in his prime and depending on how he looks after himself stays relevent long after the roy jones's fade.

    Bernard is arguelly better know then when he was in his 30's and definitely better then when he first fought roy and when he was in his 20s.

    to say Bernard is passed it or washed up and suggest a match vs Roy jones would even be competitive is just ridiculous. BERNARDS KNOCKS ROY OUT!

    i'm glad to see Roy still has his fans but the man should hang them gloves up, no way is he in shape for the top fighters, if he's to continue then he should continue to pick fighters like lacy where he's gonna make money, enjoy himself and showboat as only roy jones can and not get hurt.
