    all depends what jones turns up. he has lost a lot of ability with age, most fighters do. however jones has remained far too cocky. he is not good enough to be showboating anymore

    If this fight would have taken place anytime accept for the last 3 years RJJ would destroy Bhop.

    I'm going to watch it. It's a shame that it's happening, but it'll be the most interesting thing happening in my living room on that day so i might as well give it a try.

    If Jones wins, though....I better hear him announce his retirement right after the fight. if not, ima head down there and assassinate him before he goes on making himself look silly any more.

    Hopkins should win, but Jones has a much smaller chance of being KTFO against Hopkins.

    Bull****. He could've beat him when they were supposed to fight in 02. He was a little past his prime, but he still could've beat him. B-Hop's has always had trouble with fast guys.

    So it's unanimous then - RJJ is back and is gonna send the Executioner to the electric chair.

    The fight was within the cruiserweight limit, but his opponent wasn't a cruiserweight by any means.
    Hopkins will brutalise Roy. End of.

    Don't forget the way Hopkins gassed at the end of the JC fight.

    If Jones can make it through the early rounds I would give him a shout. I expect the pace will be fairly leisurely.

    Expect a million feints a round and 25 punches a round thrown by each.

    i believe the old adage styles make fights an roy has bett chance than most give him if he uses his still superior quickness an can avoid being in the clinch an avoid having bhop dictate pace he has chance although bhop not devastating one puncher tends to break down his ko victims so if he avoids in fighting an keeps it imiddle of ring he def has chance that being said ithink most likely senerio is ugly bhop dec closer than most think
