    Hopkins would destroy Jones at this point. Should've happened a long time ago.

    Hopkins takes it, but with both in their real primes, I think Jones takes it (maybe closer than the first fight but clear for Jones)

    Hopkins would knock Roy out. And Roy knows this that is why we will never see this fight.

    Would be quite interesting IMO, not in terms of an exciting boxing event, but to see them clash at this time in their career's.

    Even though I want to see Jones leave boxing with a win, I could see RJJ losing a SD

    Hopkins wins easily. Jones needs to bow out now while he can still somewhat speak.

    I like B-Hop...Im more of a RJJ fan by far--but with all set aside Bhop is (at this point in there career) a better fighter...he'd also be the favorite too

    Hopkins by UD 12. Both in their primes Jones by a close UD 12.

    Hopkins, probably by UD... but maybe Jones would manage to win a couple of rounds.

    I don't usually criticize people's opinions, but those who think Roy would stand a chance against Bernard today got to be kidding.. B-hop is like fine wine

    I see you are new to boxing, Hopkins is superior in the following areas

    Footwork

    Defense

    Ring Generalship

    Tactician

    Overall boxing fundamentals

    Mental toughness

    Conditioning

    technique

    RJJ has more power though.

    Hopkins would wreck Jones at this point. He has wanted that fight for years, he would be insanely motivated for it. And his skills are FAR exceed RJJ's at this point

    Once RJJ lost his legs, he wasnt anything but a fighter with fast hands. He was never a boxer. He was a speedster that relied on his superior foot speed and agility, along with his reflexes. And his legs are just shot now.

    With a reflex fighter, once the legs go, they are left with nothing .
