    I think these guys must have been in a deep sleep for the last 5 years.

    I think they must of got together with Calzaghe racked up a few lines and then made their predictions.

    Roy went down to a shot to the side of the head from Green, so if that is his weak point, that'll be ideal for Hopkins, who tends to go forward with the earmuffs, then naturally throw punches more to the side of the head than down the middle.

    Even if we accept the Green fight was a complete freak, I still think Hopkins has aged much better than Jones, and will do enough to get the decision.

    I agree with their predictions. Roy by decision...he may even surprise us and knock Hopkins out; doubtful, but one can hope.

    Well you have to figure..

    One is on Cocaine...One has been around the sport 1 time in 3 years....Another one has been hoping Chad Dawson will return his calls for yet another title fight and oblivious to anything besides his part time announcing job for warriors boxing...The other one is barely able to form complete sentences and figures MMA will improve his dain bramage....The last one has had the most successful run of ruining a fighters momentum in boxing history
