    Does anyone think Jones could beat Hopkins, i know there is no point in having a poll as nearly everbody would pick Hopkins.
    But does anybody give Jones a chance, Jones of course won their bout in 1993, Jones is perceived to be much further past his prime than Hopkins.
    Jones actually performed better in the Calzaghe bout than i anticipated.

    Anyone who disagrees really should go for some severe psychiatric examinations. I mean, what the ****...

    Even if Jones did beat Calzaghe he would not have fought Bhop imo.

    I'll stand up to be counted saying I think this would be a competitive fight, though I lean towards Hopkins.

    They will both give each other (and be grateful for) time to look good and pick shots. Bernard will be applying the pressure, but as much as Joe? At all? :huh

    "no way in hell
    hopkins PWNS" I'll never listen to anyone who spells owns with a P, a clear sign that you were born after 1995

    Hopkins is not the pressure fighter he was in the 90s, he like RJJ also fights in spurts today so RJJ would have a chance, the last time Hopkins was at his best was when he beat the **** out of Joppy since then he like RJJ has looked like a shell of himself, both can handle themselves if matched right but both are shot IMO.
