Roy Jones Jr. vs. Bernard Hopkins II

Nothing?

 

His speed against Lacy was amazing, but his power? :nono.

Hopkins UD12.

 

I see that you are of a single train of thought.

That's OK.

If you do decide to open the window some, look at their last three fights. It's there.

Otherwise, enjoy the fights. :good

 

Look at how Roy reacted to the cut against Calzaghe. It stopped him dead in his tracks, not to mention how Calzaghe was making it worse with his head.

You really think that goes over Hopkin's head? No pun intended, Hopkin's opens up almost everyone.

Calzaghe on the nose, Wright with the giant vagina on his eyebrow, etc.

 

Sure, but how much more pronounced did that become post cut?

Roy is not a fighter who deals well with serious adversity.

 

I dont think Hopkins has the speed needed to put the pressure on Jones. He is the one who fights in spurts right now, and unless your a slick hard punching counterpuncher which Hopkins isnt, he is going to have a tough time beating Jones. Jones is still too fast for Hopkins and would fight a cautious fight from the outside easily outpoint Hopkins. If you listen to the Hopkins and Jones interview its pretty clear Hopkins wants no part of Jones.
How could Hopkins think a fight against an fairly unknown to casual fans cruiserweight be bigger than a fight with Jones? Thats just ridiculous. Jones holding the win over Hopkins also makes it intriguing as well. This fight makes both these old farts more money than any other fight, and Hopkins is no dummy, he knows a loss to Jones erases a good portion of his latest legacy and puts Jones right back on top of him, which he hates the idea of.

 

Hopkins wins! Jones may have looked good in beating Lacy, but without any disrespect directed towards Jeff, he has nor never will be anywhere near the cablire of fighter B-Hop is! Hopkins of now beats a prime Lacy imo!

Hookins is strong at LHW, much more so than was the case during his last few fights at MW where he did struggle to make weight to a certain degree! Only him being extremely dedicated allowed him to stay at 160lbs so long!

I think Jones would be surprised at how strong Hopkins is at LHW! I don't think its too unlikely for Hopkins to score a TKO over Jones, who is no the most durable guy!

I can't see this one happening because I do not see either guy budging in respect of negotiations on purses, etc. If Hopkins fights a Williams or Chad Dawson & wins, that would be a bigger victory than a win over Jones would be at this stage of his career!

 

B-hop isn't busy enough in most of his fights. He'd say outside and Roy would out box him IMO. I'd love this fight though.
