Jones Jr Hopkins II close to being signed

Wish this could of happened in 2002. atsch

 

Meaningless fight which will be treated seriously by half the fans out there, a.k.a just your normal ppv event these days.

 

Should have happened years ago, but I'm still intrigued to see how things pan out.

 

I'd like to see it, but i think Hopkins would win rather easily at this point. Shutting out Pavlik was way more impressive than shutting out Lacy.

I don't think the outcome has much meaning, either. They already fought in their primes (not peaks) and Jones won easily.

 

Is this definately on LH? If so I'm really looking forward to it. Both are 10 years past prime and declined but both are maintaining some level of top5 type performance. Hopkins form book is way ahead of Jones BUT Jones may have the style to edge out an old Hopkins as guys have to force the pace to outbox Jones and Hopkins hasnt been doing that. Hopkins now has the chance to erase an L to give future greatness.

This is really like the Holmes-Foreman that should have happened in the 90s or a Moore-Charles 4 after Charles declined, fascinating

 

What happened to Danny Green?

 

This thread is probably BS. Green is all agreed as far as I know.

 

I agree there is some intrigue to it, if only because they're two massive names still and they have a bit of history. I'd definitely watch it.
As far as legacies and all that goes, it counts for virtually nothing...still worth a watch though.

 

Jones fights Green in December. Hopkins has a date open in late January or February for anybody who can get a deal done with him; plenty of time for Jones to get prepared.

 

Well if Jones win, I think it certainly says something about the two. It would prove that Jones always beats Hopkins no matter what point in time in their careers.
