    Lets not forget Evander Holyfield was shot when he fought Bobby Czyz then he fought Mike Tyson and we know what happened to him and what Evander went on to do after that fight.

    Roy Jones isnt shot according to Bernard Hopkins. He is in a better position than anyone to call this fight having fought both men . He says Jones will win a UD

    Roy might not be slurring his words but he is shot in relation to what he has lost.

    He relied on the speed of his hands, not so much his feet, his oppnents were too intimidated to throw back for fear of being caught.

    He always laid on the ropes, he never had good upper body or head movement and didnt really have a defence, other than using his gloves as earmuffs and lay on the ropes.

    He has lost what made him win so many times against the mediocre opposition he had, that made him look alot better.

    Tito was out for 3 years and Roy put him down but couldnt put him away, Tito forced Roy to the ropes, Roy is scared to get hit and just covers big time.

    Joe would have smashed Tito all over the place.

    Roy is very softly spoken in interviews and its always "if I win" or "big deal if I lose but if Joe loses!!" Not the most confident sounding person.

    Ive never thought a fight was so wrong moreso than this one, when Roy got sparked by Tarver, thats where he stopped being relevant to world boxing, hes done nothing since for any light heavy to be afraid or to even earn a shot at a title, hes just beat someone who had no ranking in any weight!!! and was coming off a loss!! at middle!!!

    Roy is hoping that the myth of Joe not hitting hard is true, hes hoping he can cover up to avoid the hundreds of punches coming his way and throw in 1 or 2 uppercuts and ko Joe.

    Joe is a different animal to anyone Roy has faced as yet, no one Roy has fought is sodtermined to win, works as hard and can box to boot.

    As long as Joe does as he has all these years with no signs of slowing as yet (other than Hopkins holding his arms!!) there is no way an old shot fighter is gonna turn that flooding tide.

    Kessler was the only one who stood a chance of doing that but Joe just wan so much admiration and at the same time jelousy, people and other fighters wanted to right Joe off as protected and not really any good but to do what he did to a young multiple title holder with a lot of respect was awesome and made alot of people even greener.

    Ok Hopkins got his win over Pavlik but the fact he couldnt beat his Kessler (Taylor) is why he refuses to give Joe any credit
