Neither of them are what they once were, but Hopkins' style works better against the younger guys. He doesn't have that same tiger he had in his prime, which is why he isn't as good as in his prime. I still say it could be a close fight.
When was the last time Hopkins fought someone as shot as Roy?
Give me a break. Hopkins entire career right now is based on fighting the fight that is needed to beat his opponent. The blueprint on roy jones has been drawn 3 times already. Do you honestly think Hopkins will fight the same Respectful fight he fought against roy the first time? When they first fought hopkins had NO good opponents on his record. Roy was 21-0 and the first undefeated or legit competition he had faced. They both showed each other tremendous respect.

Hopkins won't succumb to that type of fight again. Get real man. Roy won't even punch anymore! Hopkins will KILL HIM. It's a figure of speech, by the way. Just like Hopkins KILLED kelly Pavlik and KILLED Antonio Tarver. Those were slaughters imo.

Don't assume I mean he's going to knock someone out when I say he will kill them.
