Hopkins-Jones,can Jones win?

[Hulk]

Yes I believe Roy can win.

He has to use his speed and combos to out work Hopkins from the outside and flurry when they get on the inside like he did against Lacy.

Also he must avoid the counter right hand of Hopkins, which Bernard will be setting him up for all night.

If he can do that then I think he can decision B-Hop.

He is STILL faster than Hopkins.

And Hopkins has not fought someone faster than him in a 5 years.

Calzaghe was faster than Hopkins and that fight happened in April 08, less than 2 years ago. Hopkins was able to make a close fight out of it as well while Jones on the other hand................







Jokes aside, Hopkins won't able to apply the pressure the Calzaghe did on Jones but Jones won't be able to apply the same pressure Calzaghe was able to do against Hopkins.

The difference is Jones legs are totally gone and his chin seems vulnerable and Hopkins power does seem to have decent power at 175.

I see the fight being competitive early but as the fight progresses, i see Jones going to the ropes more and more often which Hopkins will take advantage of. He won't go crazy like Joe did but he will pick his shots and eventually stop Jones on the ropes. It going the distance with Hopkins taking a clear UD wouldn't surprise me either, it's obviously more likely than a stoppage.

Calzaghe was on cocaine so it doesn't count.

I think Jones has a chance.

I'm a huge fan of both though.

May the best man win.

I'll be rootin for Roy, cus he is the underdog.
