Hopkins next opponent

[americanspirit]

His next opponent is alzhiemers.

But since he wants to fight...at least let the fight be against someone he can beat.

Hopkins might be able to stop RJJ considering hard slaps to the face seem to be KO'ing him lately.

Winky And Joe? It will take more than throwing a lead right then ducking and clinching to beat those two.

Convincing losses and back to the rest home if he fights either of them.

Great line about Roy's OD'd slaps!

Cheers.

jones is shot bro, he is a shell of a man compared to what he once was, especially now. plus who aged better as a fighter Hopkins or Jones? i think we all know the answer there.

Jones now has to fight average joes, everday folks like you and me, that's where his career is now

Kevin Greene and John Rocker and others have been on pros vs joes. Jerry Rice was on it as well once. So what? It's a fun show. Discrediting Roy over that does not compute.

Ajamu was top ten by RING when Roy fought him. Roy is still rated top ten at 175 in fact. Again, Roy is not shot. He is definitely not what he used to be, but his power is not on Tarver's level and his activity level is not the type that will lead to some kind of domination over Roy. Nard's output is much les these days.

No reason to think an old Hops dominates an old Roy. Styles make fights.

not saying the old Hopkins would beat Roy, i'm saying that the present day Hopkins beats the present day Roy easily. and as far as the show i think it's lame and a dicredit to all pros, the show isnt' for them it's for guys that never had what it takes to make it or they had a run of bad luck and didn't make it.
if i was a pro in any sport i would keep my level of competiton at the pro level until it was time to call it a career.

and with styles make fights, Jones doesn't have the same style anymore, age has caught up with his reflexes, now he's hittable, and has a suspect chin, Hopkins creams him...............sorry but Roy aint on that level anymore.

Hopkins isn't near what he used to be either. Still accurate, but no moreso than Roy. His power and output does not lead one to suspect a KO. And I said old Hops vs old Roy, meaning present versions (because they are both old right now).

Joes vs Pros is just a show for fun. Nothing more, nothing less. I would like to see Hops and Roy fight just to prove you wrong in the sense that the fight would be competive, and close, even if it did end in a KO by Hops.

We disagree. Moving on. I feel Calzage is the fight that needs to happen most in any case, at 175.

right on brotha, moving on i'm with you on that, opinions are great though, we all have them and we all believe ours to be the truth.

and yes you're right the Calzaghe fight is the only one that is worth a damn.....

[Super_Lightweight]

I am of the belief that a win over Calzaghe is equal to a win over Maskaev, if not a bit better. Maskaev could KO Hopkins badly, but Joe is the more skilled and respected fighter.

.

Was Roy actually on the show Pros vs Joes? I never saw or heard of this. Did they actually spar on the show?

And I'd also like to see the Calzaghe/Hopkins fight personally. But one question...where does it take place?

[Super_Lightweight]

I never saw the show. Google it. I'm just going on what Dooze said.

my choice is winky wright, hopkins dominated tarver, who had roy jones number in 2 of 3 fights, a hopkins-winky match up may had the makings of a boring fight, but its still a significant, career defining fight for nard. if he wins, hopkins vs calzaghe should be next.
