Roy Jones vs Bernard Hopkins II

jones jr

hopkins will just hug all night

 

I like Roy in this obviously this fight happens if Roy beats Danny Green. If he wins that fight it tells you that Jones still has something left as Danny Green is clearly better then any recent victim of RJJ that being Ajamu,Trinidad,Hanshaw,Lacy and Sheika. I think Roy may have somewhat of an advantage of being more active since BHop beat Pavlik, Roy has fought Calzaghe,Sheika,Lacy and soon to be Green. To me styles make fights and this kind of fighter isnt what Hopkins succeeds agianst. Roy has alot more speed and Hopkins will usually lose in exchanges because of that. Bernard gets by on being crafty but Jones is crafty himself and wont fall for alot of Hopkins tricks and instead might make Hopkins fall for his. I think its going to be a slow pace chess match much like the fight we saw in 1993 but RJJs speed is a difference maker IMO. RJJ will get the respect of judges because he throws combos with speed and power while Hopkins in recent years only threw combos agianst Pavlik who in comparison to Roy Jones has no head moment,gives no angles,slow and only fights one direction. I could be wrong but Roy wins this by UD.

 

We'll see about that...

 

compare those fights vs calz Seems that RJJ is the weak 1

 

Bhop takes this no doubt.

 

I agree, but don't stop there. Compare their fights with Tarver, Johnson, and Trinidad as well.
