    He can run away and make Bernard chase him. And he can stay the hell outside.

    You honestly don't think he was that hurt? Honestly? He looked helpless. Guy's got the punch resistance not of a tomato can but of an actual tomato.

    dude,

    I'm an RJJ fan! I will feel bad if he losses that way again. If RJJ meets Green for the second time. RJJ will be lucky if he is still standing at the 6th round the most!!!!!

    RJJ had his moments! Actually he was the undisputed p4p for a long time but time is clicking. It's better for him to retire. He has great accomplishments. He has nothing to prove.

    He was hurt but it was also a shot to the back of the head. Nothing illegal as RJ turned his head. Also, he wasn't brutally KOed like against Tarver and Johnson. He was just covering up and not throwing back. A legit stoppage as RJ didn't throw back but he wasn't completely out of it.

    :good
    He doesnt move, or throw a lot of punches anymore. I think Bhop will have an easy night and should be able to stop Roy

    RJJ failed to do this miserably against Calzaghe. Calzaghe rested his head on his gloves and chest and RJJ could not pull the trigger.

    Jones just doesn't have it. at this point, Jones is the same no matter which way you try to package him, in a garbage bag or sandwich bag, it (he) is still washed up. What ever he has left over may be good enough when facing a tomato can or class c fighter (maybe not based on his last loss), but Hopkins is neither, which is why its going to be a big problem for Jones when they fight.

    I think we will see a little extra effort from Hopkins to get the KO.

    No, you're right. He wasn't brutually KOed but that's the thing, he was just helpless in his shell against Danny Green from a punch that didn't even hit him that cleanly from what I remember. I think it bounced off of his shoulder first. It was to me, in a way, more shocking than his brutal losses to Tarver and Johnson. Because it didn't seem to be much of anything and he was on his feet, it just stunned him and stopped him in his tracks. Barely any fight took place. If he got stopped like a Jermain Taylor where he was performing all fight, taking shots and giving them for twelve rounds, okay. But this guy barely took anything before he was on ***** street. This guy lives on ***** Street now. He doesn't even rent, he owns a place there.

    1. With the exception of his chin or perhaps his legs Jones is still in my opinion a better boxer than Hopkins is.
    2. I don't think Hopkins has the power to stop Jones. Jones needs to punch back. In his fight against Calghize he let Calghize hit him on the ropes. I fell that Jones lost that fight rather than Calghize won it. Jones has the power to stop Hopkins. However he has to take risks to do so.
    3. I think he dose.

    If he steps into the ring, he gets his ass kicked. Its as simple as that.
