    Jones' style is still a nightmare for Hopkins imo, interesting to see the odds on a Jones win with the bookies, surely he will be a pretty big underdog - maybe drag something positive from this flim flam of a fight and win some bucks.

    Hopkins will win and give Ring magazine the excuse to keep him in their P4P top ten for the next 3 years

    I wanna see this fight, champions don't go out on a loss...

    When people complain around here, it just makes ya look like loosers.

    Champions/Winners do not retire on a loss..! if they can prevent it..!

    I knew Roy Jones would not retire..!

    The vast majority of champions go out on a loss. Muhammad Ali, Ray Robinson, Roberto Duran, Willie Pep, Henry Armstrong, Mike Tyson, Bob Foster, Joe Louis, Ray Leonard........the list is endless.

    Do you ever actually think about what you're typing?

    Hopkins has done a great job of waiting until RJJ was as shot as can be before making the fight and getting paid millions to do it.

    If he's not going to face real oponnents anymore, Hopkins should be dropped out or at least down the P4P list now, I think that's fair.

    It's not quite the David Haye fight at HW that was doing the rounds is it? : )

    It's not a laughing matter :-(

    Derby day,
    The Kessler/Froch fight (which incidentally was going to be my stag do)
    The Andre Ward vs Green/Bika winner
    Roy Jones Jnr vs Bernard Hopkins
    Lucian Bute vs TBA
