If there are any doubts that this fight will come off, let them be tempered by the fact that this is the only significant bout that includes Jones' name. After missing an opportunity to make a PPV appearance against either Manny Siaca or Peter Manfredo, Jones has nothing else.

For Hopkins, this means that the ball is finally in his court. He and his team are setting the terms, including a 60-40 split of the money in Hopkins' favor.

It begs us to recall one of HBO Boxing's most memorable moments: After disposing of Carl Daniels, Hopkins desperately tried to pitch a rematch at Jones, via satellite while preparing for Glen Kelly, repeatedly said, "60/40, I'll kick your a**!"

Funny how things have changed in the five years since.

So...if it happens...this is a tuff one to pick a winner for me. Honestly...I would want to see Roy win his last few fights...but seeing as he'll be fighting my number one guy...then I'd love to see him TKO Jones.

Then again...being a fan of Jones...I really don't want him to get stopped again...atleast not as viciously as he was against Glen Johnson.

Still...I'm picking Hopkins by decision.
