Hopkins-Jones,can Jones win?

[Pugilistic]

Of course.

Hopkins is 45 and can at anytime get old overnight. Thats the only way i see Hopkins losing though.

If Hopkins does come in like against Ornelas or Pavlik, He will beat Roy and clearly.

Jones legs are awful at this point, he can't keep himself off the ropes for a full round which simply isn't gonna cut it against Hopkins. You need to pressure and outwork Hopkins to beat him.

Jones chin is also a concern, Green didn't appear to hit him very hard but he got dropped quite badly. Hopkins hasn't got the power Green does, but he is more accurate and fast. Lets not forget that Hopkins was able to drop the durable Calzaghe and stun Pavlik a couple of times so he probably could get Jones out of there.

Jones can win if he can turn the clock backward for one more time, otherwise it'll be a very disastrous result.

[Hunter]

Hopkins will win by TKO. Kind of sad to see Jones go out like this. I give Jones about a 2% chance of winning this fight and I also think Jones is 2% of the fighter he used to be........

[HattonTheHammer]

Absoloutely 0% chance

If you bet on anything other than hopkins on points you really dont know your stuff

[CFH]

I think he can. If he can handle Hopkins counters and avoid getting hurt he can outwork him for a decision. It's not all that likely, but it is possible. There's also the chance to Hopkins finally starts showing his age. I don't think Jones will win or even come close, but I won't write him off entirely.

I'd give him at least a 5% chance of winning based purely on the fact that HTH says he has no chance at all.

...who cares ?? It's insulting that this fight is even really happening. People complain about boxing and how the sport treats it's fans with all the sanctioning bodies, silly belts and what not yet there are those who still have any remote interest in a fight between a guy with a big mouth who can barley stay awake long enough to make a fight entertaining and has lost five of his last 10 most by ko and an boring semi impressive old fighter who out of his last 7 has lost three including a win over enrique ornales who isn't even the best fighter in his own family. And his case it's us that have the hard time staying awake. And the funniest thing of all they have the nerve to put this garbage on ppv I'd pay to watch friday night fight on espn before i'd give this fight two dollars. As long as people support this type of crap how can anyone complain about what those in boxing do. People paying to see this are the main reason good fights aren't made and they can put any old card together they want why not people pay....guess i can't blame em in a way

[Zilla]

If Hopkins sleeps under a draft the night before.

I agree with you...Jones used to be my favorite fighter. And the sad part is, even if he gets destroyed, he will fight again.

[The Shadow]

Jones can win if he can turn the clock backward for one more time, otherwise it'll be a very disastrous result.

Jones is already making excuses about a forthcoming loss by saying that Hopkins has waited this long to fight him. I don't see a confident Jones Jr., just a washed-up fighter who will probably get KO'd by Hopkins.

but time has passed..an unnecessary fight between this two is going to happen..if it happened 5-7 years ago, it would have been one of the richest and historic bouts in history

It should effectively happened a couple of years ago, I agree, same with time that passed by. However, it is not rare that a boxer for a very last time can reverse the clock to make "the" one performance. IF Jones is motivated enough, that could happen. The thing is that he might have that chance against Hopkins because he's not a pressure guy and will likely start slow... based on that, he could make a magic trick somewhere down the line.

Well and Jones has lost. He had no idea for a win. But at least he was not declassed by Hopking - however B-Hop had been announcing that...
