Better late than never.

They are two of my boxing heroes and I'll watch it.

I don't think so mate, I think it's sad! Jones just got battered by Danny Green inside a round, this fight has no meaning, it's just a payday. I would rather remember Jones as he was.

I know I shouldn't want to see this, but I do. Solely in the hope that Jones can somehow rewind a year or two and outwork Hopkins. It would be the funniest thing if Jones was able to do that.

Im a big RJJ fan but im sorry, im not gonna be wearing RJJ rose tinted glasses here. I tried to convince myself maybe RJJ still had something left, but he really doesn't. And i think this is really a sad fight, and shame on B-HOP for taking it really.

I never understood why people wanted the rematch in the first place. Have you guys seen the first fight? Its one of the worst Championship stinkers of all time! You couldn't pay me to watch the first fight again.

[DatsiK]

Very much looking forward to this one! I'll take Hopkins by UD.

Sometimes its not always about excitement, although obviously no one wants to watch a stinker. RJJ + B-Hop were two of the best fighters, at there weightclasses, B-Hop had improved greatly since there first meeting. Plus B-Hop was a legit threat to RJJ. Because people wanted to see RJJ challenged.

[Master]

I will watch they are old legends.

[generalbulldog]

I will watch it, but I'm not paying for it. If this fight was done 7 or 8 years back it would be worth every penny, but now?

What an insult to boxing and it's fans. No way i watch this horse piss. Shit by this crappy logic jermain taylor should be fighting butte on the undercard. Ko losses only advance things right ??!! Shame on them for forcing this crap down our throats. So the winner of this goes where ?? Probably a omar shieka rematch for jones or a challenge of jeff lacy for hopkins........and people hate floyd.

[Lefty]

What a pointless fight to be made. Nothing to be made in terms of legacy for either fighter. I guess this was always going to happen regardless of the Jones-Green outcome.

I'm one that thought Hopkins could pull a win in rematch with Jones.....when it meant something and Jones still had something in the tank.Hopkins is preserved and can still compete at a top level...Jones is shot to pieces,has been for a while I believe and I think he'll end up on the end on some serious right hands here....getting stopped ugly.Hopkins will jump around and think its a massive achievement but in reality all it does is give him a "W" over a man who beat him and sooth his ego (hey I love Hopkins but come on).Thats it.This is a money grab on name status...a lining of the wallet for two great fighters on their way out.Bit of a charity auction of sorts.
