Roy Jones vs Bernard hopkins 2 close to being made

[the phenom]

heard that hopkins said he wants a jones rematch and jones said to give him a 50-50 and the fight is done .......... sounds possible? if so wats the outcome?

[El Kabong]

....I don't think it happens, but I have to lean towards Hopkins winning because Roy just isn't himself these days.

[porkypara]

Hopkins by late stoppage.

[El Kabong]

I wish Roy KO'd him but his speed is lacking and that was part of his power...jumping in quick with that left hook and being able to counter with the right cross.

Roy just doesn't win enough rounds now'a'days

[Gandalf]

IF the fight happens then its years too late for Jones Jr....Hopkins would take him apart and stop him..

[the phenom]

i honestly think jones still has the style to beat hopkins all he has to do is press the action a little and he wins and we dont no if the last year has done anything to hopkins ability

[El Kabong]

Hopkins' ability didn't rely only on speed so therefore you have to figure B-Hop will do better. He's better at following a fight plan than Roy....for years RJ could do whatever he wanted to and win, now he has to do specific things in order to win....it's hard to come back to that level after being so great at just fighting off the cuff

CC in 24 if I remember. Perfect though.

I'd rather see B-Hop fight either JoeCal or Winky at 168. It's obvious that RJJ is just in it for one last cash grab. Once the fight is signed, I would expect one hell of a borefest. RJJ style isn't even technical boxing, he literally just feignts and smiles, and barely throws any punches at all now. But he's still got some speed and elusiveness, couple that with B-Hop's technical counterpunching style and age, you've a definite snoozefest. FIGHT WINKY!!!

Any of you watch the Badi Ajamu fight in its entirety? Then you'd know that Roy has a pretty good shot at beatin Bernard still. I'd have to say I hope the fight gets made. I love both fighters and wish them the best. Roy can still give Bernard a lot of trouble, believe that. And if Roy wins, it'd be another Championship to his collection.

This fight would have been good about five years ago, But the way Hopkins can lead with that sneaky whithering right, He KO Jones Jr in five.

[Taeth]

I can't see Hopkins winning unless he shows a gear to fight in that he hasn't in quite a few years. I think Roy is still too fast and too big for Hopkins, and unless he is gun shy he should win this fight quite handidly. I still think that he can't be outboxed. If anybody though it would be Hopkins, but I just see Roy being to smart and too quick for the older yet Hopkins.

[El Gamo]

I hope Roy wins,another loss and he is damaging his legacy more and more. I'd like to see it happen though although it's like few years too late...still a good match up.
