    "I think if Roy still has it, he can win on points. Either way it will be close and I would be surprised if there is a stoppage." -Joe Calzaghe,

    "I like both of them, but if I would have to bet I'd pick Roy because of his slickness and speed. Bernard is crafty but I think Roy is going to be sharper and quicker in this one. Roy in a decision." - Winky Wright,

    "Jones has more speed and more power than Bernard. Jones by decision."- Glen Johnson

    "Roy will outbox Hopkins and win eight rounds to four" - James Toney

    They say why mate.

    It's a winnable fight for jones if he stays of the ropes.

    Pros opinions are usually biased. Jones has been shot for years. Hopkins takes an easy decison.

    Here is why

    Calzaghe - cokehead
    Toney - Well he is just James Toney and a total legend, he could say anything
    Johnson - He is old and speaking from an old folks home and thinks it is 1999
    Wright - He just must be stupid

    Sorry, this aint very funny just wanted to sneak in a Calzaghe drug snipe

    Calzaghe aint a boxing fan though, so I dont think his opinion is that valued personally. Someone like Toney who loves boxing, but he is crazy at times and hard to guage if hes being serious.

    Johnson probably wants Jones to win so his record looks better.

    I'm not sure about Winky maybe he really does think that

    They think it's 1993...i remember winky picking RJJ for the Calzaghe fight.... for some reason boxers fail to see him loosing it... Calzaghe is the worst....and further proof you should never take seriously what any boxer says....Calzaghe also said Hatton was KO'd by nobodies...
