    RJ is trying to **** of Hopkins to get a fight, but you know after hearing them talk on the radio, I think Hopkins is seriously scared to fight Jones. He just didn't seem right when they were talking.

    Man did Hopkins just totally dismantle Pavlik!

    No wonder Pavliks fans are still so butthurt over it.

    What would superman be without his power?

    What would Usain Bolt be without his speed?

    What would Roy be without his speed?

    All completely irrelevant questions.

    If there's one thing Hopkins proved in his career then that's he fears NO ONE. He fought Jones when BOTH were in their primes, how the hell can he be scared especially when he saw what kind of a beast Jones was?

    It's enough proof that he's 44 years old chasing and scaring the living **** out of young active fighters today. Add to that that he has been the underdog in all his last FOUR fights. :deal

    Hopkins just exposed him to what he really was. A one dimensional no skill fighter, if you constantly move and not give him a chance to set his self to throw then he's going to stalk to a one-sided 12 round, or less if power is there, ass whopping. The amazing thing is how Hopkins was able to pick his punches at will, back Pavlik off, rock him numerous times, beat the living hell out of him, win all 12 rounds clearly/one-sidedly and show serious ATG skill ALL at 44 years of age.

    If Pavlik isn't allowed to set his self to throw and his opponent constantly moves then he's in for a beating. All that plan A, B, C, D and F Jack Leow talked about was nothing but double and triple the jab. The saddest is how Kelly actually did go there and tripled the jab only to come back to a obviously clueless Leow who's next advice was "Do what Calzaghe did, best of luck".

    People also missed the questions from the media in the last press conference. Nazim Richardson and Leow were sitting next to one another asked by different guys from the media questions. Nazim called him out right there and told him in the face what plan they're going for and how they will counter Pavlik, Leow didn't know what to say other than "Wait till the fight is on" when Richardson was openly willing to mention it all right there.

    Hopkins would knock Roid Jones out, but Roid will not fight him.

    Obviously...LOL!

    He didnt look impressive against Tito? Or Johnson? Or Tarver? Or Pavlik? Or Jackson? Or Joppy? Or Holmes? Or...I think you get the point.

    Hopkins can be hard to watch at times but his win over Pavlick was a good one and he was not bad against Tarver and Tito either.

    Of course Roy is talking out of his arse. Hopkins may not dazzle but he's one of the most effective fighters in the game. I like Roy and it's nice to see him fighting well but BH would utterly dismantle him. Since their last fight, Roy has dropped a few notches while BH is arguably better than ever (even at 43).

    Hopkins is extremely skillful but his fights do tend to be boring as hell.
