    This steroid user will get stopped soon and his Glass Jaw will crack like a hammer falling on a dry biscuit.

    Absolutely no basis for this statement whatsoever. You're essentially drawing comparisons between a shot Lacy and the current P4P #3 - Hopkins. Roy might have decent workrate and stamina for 6-7 rounds but he'll have nothing like the output of Taylor or Calzaghe over the 12, and he won't be half as accurate or effective - given that his speed has seriously declined and his timing has totally gone.

    Lacy is slow, cumbersome, easy to hit and immobile - Hopkins is none of those things. Far from being "dominated" a more credible and likely scenario is that Jones punches himself out, hitting gloves and air, and then Hopkins stops him late on.

    Unlikely as it may be, I'm not saying that there is "no chance" Roy couldn't win a disputed decision, but there is "no way" he would dominate Hopkins.
