Hopkins and RJJ go at it on podcast!!

Just read the highlights of the interview on fightnews, it seems like Bernard is not confident at all about beating Jones. But that said Jones is the only man to clearly beat Bernard without any doubt being raised afterward, maybe Jones is in Hopkins' head.

I wouldn't mind seeing this fight really and I would be rooting for Jones Jr all the way. I don't actually think it would be beyond belief to see Jones pulling off the win. Both guys have a reduced output and take their time between punches and I'm not convinced that Hopkins has the power to put away Jones Jr whatsoever. I can see it being a relatively close fight. Jones Jr has the obvious handspeed advantages and is fighting canny these days. Hopkins might win rounds, but I can see Jones edging more of them with his combinations and flash.

I can see it being a bit of a chess match just like it would have been at any time of their careers.. A different sort of matchup compared to 10 - 15 years ago, but still it wouldn't be the most boring fight of the year...

I would pay to see it before i would pay to see B-Hop fight the others he mentioned. I agree B-hop got his azs handed to him in the interview. You must think Roy will beat you again if you wont take the lions share of the 60/40 split.
