Roy Jones vs Bernard Hopkins II

Ya know what, I've got a better idea. How about 80k vs 80k and an additonal 40k to the winner if by KO, like the fight purse itself? That makes it true to the spirit of the fight. Deal? If so, PM me and I'll sig it right away. And we can still make adjustments to our bets based on how they perform after Dec 2nd. yeah thats sounds like a great idea. sig it up. :boxing:

Its a shame that Jones fought Lacy because that fight made Jones look really good and Roy fans believed that showcase proved hes back. Only problem is lacy is slow and shot. It is sad that they think Roy will look the same against a guy who is world class and is on top of his game. Last time Roy beat a world class fighter still at his best was back in 2003 against Tarver and that is still a questionable win.

I only see this going one way. Jones will be executed!

I got B Hop winning a close boring fight with RJJ spending most of the fight against the ropes and BHop grabbing him whenever he come off them. But would love to see the old RJJ come back and whoop his ass.

Jones isn't so shot after all then?

I think Bhop edges a close decision.

B-Hop is going to beat living crap out of Roy Jones Jr :smashfrea

Comes down to who has more left? After the Pavlik bout I would lean towards B-Hop.

At this point, something like 50-100K. That may change depending on the results of Dec 2nds fights though. Like, I may give you odds if Hops looks old and you may give me odds if Jones squeeks bye or something like that. Make sense? Deal? How about for the time being lets have a 100k bet. After their Dec 2nd bout, we can made adjustments to our bets based on how they perform. deal ?

If it did, then it would be an even fight. Jones' age passed him up sometime around 2004. I think Jones still has the style to beat Hopkins. Want to bet on it hoping it doesn't jinx the fight? How much would you like to bet ?

I see Roy getting beat pretty clearly unless Hopkins age finally catches up with him. Hopkins UD.

roy jones has little to no chance of winning but i hope he does....maybe in this fight bhops arthritis starts to bother him and roys speed makes the difference

Boring.. ZZZzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZ.. Anyway i got roy by UD..

hopkins will win by decision. he doesn't have the power or volume to laid rjj out cold.

I think some are forgetting Jones has to beat Danny Green for the fight with Hopkins to happen. I would wait until December 2nd before making these kind of threads.

i believe that hopkins is the most logical choice and most realistic because he just seems not to have aged as badly as jones has!! but i do think jones has a realistic outsiders choice primarily because he still does have a decent punch output and most importantly he has very fast hands even for a fighter of is age i think hopkins weakness is the fact that he can be outworked and is very paranold about quick hands taylor and calzaghe both defeated him through having quick hands!!! winkly wright has ok hand speed and that was disputed decision kelly pavlik is very robotic and has always been over rated!! jones can win this fight but if he does he wont ever retire which he needs to do because hes not fighting at the same standard anymore jones by a SD or UD - i think he can steal a few rounds largely on work rate also hopkins dont throw enough specially against someone who could counter him

jones will outwork bhop same thing people said pavlik would do to hopkins. you need to be able to mount offense to "outwork" someone. calzaghe is a master at imposing himself and his offensive style on his opponent and he barely landed any clean shots on hopkins. jones will eat straight right hands before he gets within punching range.

jones will outwork bhop

roy jones will win.....because i have fate

I am a Jones fan and I am rotin for Roy, but I dont think he can beat Hopkins, Jones is in outstandingly conditions than Hopkins
