Um....no. After the Lacy fight, I'd give him a better shot than before, but odds are he still loses, and maybe even gets stopped late.
Hopkins is just is old and doesn't have the legs or stamina to beat Calzaghe either. I'd say Jones and Hopkins are still evenly matched today. The winner would be the one who shows up psychologically prepared.
What a JOKE! BHOP will dismantle Jones, and he will take some shots, because I have a feeling it won't be a decision win,In this fight we will see a different Bernard. Hopkins will go for the knockout in this one even if that means getting hit a little!
Roy isnt going to let his hands go against Hops like he did against Lacy because he will get countered. Its easy to look good against Lacy and Sheikra they pose no threat at all to Roy. People dont realize how bad Lacy is now, he got a hometown decision against freaking Otis Griffen. Hops lost his fights due to punch output, Roy had been KTFO twice and ran all night in Tarver 3. Hops has never been seriously hurt, Roy couldnt hurt him in 1994 and he isnt going to hurt him in 2010. The only shot Roy has at winning is a decision based on higher activity and I think we will see him gunshy again because he doesnt have the body and foot movement to avoid Hopkins counters.
The one that fought Calzaghe almost beat Calzaghe. Taylor didn't "outclass" Hopkins, actually the other way around. Taylor and Calzaghe both exploited the same weakness in Hopkins, his old legs and stamina....Jones cannot exploit those because his legs are even worse. Why did Hopkins have so much stamina in the Pavlik and Tarver fights you ask? They allowed him to dictate the pace of the fight, Calzaghe and Taylor did not. You are a fighter, you should understand the difference here.
