heard that hopkins said he wants a jones rematch and jones said to give him a 50-50 and the fight is done … sounds possible? if so wats the outcome?
…I don’t think it happens, but I have to lean towards Hopkins winning because Roy just isn’t himself these days.
Hopkins by late stoppage.
I wish Roy KO’d him but his speed is lacking and that was part of his power…jumping in quick with that left hook and being able to counter with the right cross.
Roy just doesn’t win enough rounds now’a’days
IF the fight happens then its years too late for Jones Jr…Hopkins would take him apart and stop him..
i honestly think jones still has the style to beat hopkins all he has to do is press the action a little and he wins and we dont no if the last year has done anything to hopkins ability
Hopkins’ ability didn’t rely only on speed so therefore you have to figure B-Hop will do better. He’s better at following a fight plan than Roy…for years RJ could do whatever he wanted to and win, now he has to do specific things in order to win…it’s hard to come back to that level after being so great at just fighting off the cuff
CC in 24 if I remember. Perfect though.
I’d rather see B-Hop fight either JoeCal or Winky at 168. It’s obvious that RJJ is just in it for one last cash grab. Once the fight is signed, I would expect one hell of a borefest. RJJ style isn’t even technical boxing, he literally just feignts and smiles, and barely throws any punches at all now. But he’s still got some speed and elusiveness, couple that with B-Hop’s technical counterpunching style and age, you’ve a definite snoozefest. FIGHT WINKY!!!
Any of you watch the Badi Ajamu fight in its entirety? Then you’d know that Roy has a pretty good shot at beatin Bernard still. I’d have to say I hope the fight gets made. I love both fighters and wish them the best. Roy can still give Bernard a lot of trouble, believe that. And if Roy wins, it’d be another Championship to his collection.
This fight would have been good about five years ago, But the way Hopkins can lead with that sneaky whithering right, He KO Jones Jr in five.
I can’t see Hopkins winning unless he shows a gear to fight in that he hasn’t in quite a few years. I think Roy is still too fast and too big for Hopkins, and unless he is gun shy he should win this fight quite handidly. I still think that he can’t be outboxed. If anybody though it would be Hopkins, but I just see Roy being to smart and too quick for the older yet Hopkins.
I hope Roy wins,another loss and he is damaging his legacy more and more. I’d like to see it happen though although it’s like few years too late…still a good match up.
i know your not supposed to site your sources, but a hint on where u heard this please? in terms of its credibility that the two are in negotiations currently?
:rofmaoal:
Yeah, Badi ain’t in B-hop’s league, but he did bring it very briefly, and Roy actually throw some punches and won damn near every round. Point is, he looked good in that fight even if it was against Ajamu, and if he fought like that against B-hop, he would give him trouble. BUT I forgot you fuckers know everything already! Thats why you all, or 90% of you picked Roy to get KTFO by Badi, and B-hop to lose to Tarver. And thats why I picked Roy Jones and Hopkins to both win. ^-^ 
If this happens, Jones is a a dead man walking.
Jones doesn’t have the physical tools to beat a crafty, skilled boxer like B-Hop at his point. Hopkins might be old, but he has skills and knows every trick in the book. Jones is old, but he’s not crafty and he doesn’t know every trick in the book. He never needed to learn them. He WAS the most physically gift boxer this generation has seen, maybe the most physically gifted in history, but those days are gone.
I think Roy Jones would be a significant underdog for this fight, if he fights like he did against tarver the second time he loses a UD, if he tries to win he gets KO’d inside 8 IMO.
What are you guys talking about? How is Roy Jones Jr. not crafty? He wasn’t just a some god blessed man who had no talent… we’ve seen plenty of them who have had the physical gifts, but no actual skill, and Roy Jones Jr. wasn’t as good as he was simply on his god given gifts if you will. He is a very good offensive fighter who may be the most brilliant offense fighter ever. He feints as well as anyone, he can figure his opponent out usually in the first round, and I admit his physical skills did interfere with his defense, but I believe that he is only in trouble defensively if an opponent can pressure him, and stay in front of him. Bernard Hopkins used to be such a man, but I am not sure if he still has it in him. Roy Jones Jr. is the craftier fighter, and I believe that if they box instead of fight that he is too good for Hopkins who only became a true boxer in his mid 30’s while Roy has been a boxer since he was a teenager.
Your wrong there Hulk. No one really gave two shits about that fight. Even in winning a fight Jones showed that it is not difficult to beat him these days. Apply enough pressure and he wont fight back, he cant fight back. He will get away with it against the Onion Bahji’s of the world who blew his load in the first three minutes, but a Hopkins or a Calzaghe would hammer him.
