    Not that the fight is particularly interesting, but do anyone know what weight they will be fighting at? 200, 175 or some catchweight?

    Jones fought Green at Cruiserweight, this one is supposed to be at light heavy though not sure. I don't understand why Jones fought Green at cruiser.
     
  4. I'm guessing he wanted to pick up a title, in that division. He never did before.

    As if that Green -Jones debacle was for a title with even a molecule of legitimacy. A club fighter against a badly diminished ex champ. But for losing by a knockout in the first round (even though Jones suffered a blantant hometown quick stoppage), Jones is rewarded a high profile fight with Hopkins.
    It's a shame that one of the sports most anticipated fights is just a fantasy trip back to the 90's destined to dissapoint.

    The fight is for the Farceweight Championship of the World.

    175 favors Hopkins. Roy has no legs and would have a better chance at a higher weight.

    I don't see how 175 favours either fighter in anyway. Roy didn't do too well the last time he fought above 175lbs. Going up in weight would slow them both down.

    Insignificant old goat weight, i am sure the WBA will have a belt for it.

    I suspect 170.

    I'd sooner see the old fighters fight each other than get a battering off someone younger
