I'd rather see Roy & Bhop go round again. It would be similar to Leonard/Hearns rematch with regards to 2 champions past their peaks but style wise still a great fight. Still can't see how Bhop can get his revenge. Roy still out boxes him over 12 for my money. Still got enough speed to do the job on ol nard.
Hopkins , Jones , Bika , Lacy could have their own Tourny , the Yanks would lap it up on PPV , Billed as the "Battle Of The Banished" Calzaghe could present the winner with their trophy .
I'm not sure I would compare this with Leonard / Hearns rematch given the 8-10 year seniority. That's a lot of years at the top. But I can't deny it would be entertaining. Contracts, Phhhttt. In the fight game, a contract only becomes signed & sealed at the beginning of the 5th round.
Jones killed himself for a while dropping all that weight and has only lost once since he beat Ruiz @ heavy weigh and that was against a bloke that fought at a tremendous pace , Can Hopkins fight that high tempo fight ? Well we all know he can't . Hopkins will probably start all that hugging and **** when faced with an opponent that has the ability to make him look foolish and thats where Jones will become confident and Hopkins negative , i ain't saying Jones will win but it will be a closer fight than most predict , here still in 09 Jones despite popular belief Jones has Speed enough to avoid the Ko IMO .
Pretty sure he has lost three times since Ruiz? And looked pretty ordinary since then although by all reports he looked good against Lacy I never saw the fight. I'm not belittling Jones to sleight Calzhage BTW.
Well its 4 actually Duke but what i mean't to say was when he got his weight back under control post Tarver and Johnson , imo green shoots have been coming up recently in his fights with Calzaghe ( Yes he had his moments in that fight ) and V Lacy ( he made Lacy look amature at times ) we all know Jones ain't ever going to be the same fighter he was Pre Ruiz but what im saying is that he ain't as shot as some think and he is improving with every fight whether thats down to quality of opponent or he really has something left to offer remains to be seen , but bet your last dollar IF the Hopkins fight comes off we will see Jones clown Hopkins at some stage .
