Jones vs Hopkins - who wins today?

Hopkins UD

 

I don't know but i do know that i would be interested because of who they are but at the same time, i know that it could be a snooze fest.

 

Boring fight for $$$$$

 

Hopkins. I take Hopkins in a fight between them any time after the first fight.

 

Something tells me Bernard won't ever be the same after Joe. RJJ is still quick enough to win without a flash KO.

 

Jones'handsped is enough to out point Hopkins .

 

hopkins aged better so i'd take him by ud. the weight where they fight could be a big factor though

 

Hopkins is a rough fighter, though not a big puncher. This fight is all wrong for the modern day Jones.

 

jones UD...bhops workrate is still lower than jones and roy's hands are still pretty fast

 

tough to call...both so old. i original thought jones could take it because hopkins workrate is poor...but when i think about it i only see roy jones getting mugged in the clinch and grimed out to a hopkins decision. didn't see jones's last fight either.

 

Hopkins anytime after 03. Jones anytime 2001 and before.

 

Hopkins would have been better to have taken this fight than Calzaghe. He's aged A LOT better than RJJ. If they met right now, I could not convcieve of a way that Jones would go the distance. This would end as a dramatic KO loss for RJJ almost as shocking as his loss to Tarver.

Buddy McGirt is the latest one to come up with the idea that Roy's skills and smarts can make him prevail in this one and I won't question it... Just that Roy usually won fights with power-punching and throwing more punches - now, he affords to get behind in punch stats in the first 12, 15 minutes against an inactive fighter fighting above his weight like Tito, and he has limited power in counter-shots... The right hand landed short on the temple and the left lead was more of a push... Roy is in shape and flashy, accurate and creative as ever, just that extending that right hand to block and moving str8 back up step by step, he can't possibly compete for full three minutes rounds with Bernard... So if he can't steal rounds as easily as before, and it wasn't that easy the first time - 116-112 (8 rounds to 4) - he would have to stop Bernard with aggressiveness and non-stop punching now and that is completely out of the question.
