    Hopkins - Jones Jr. II - Your Thoughts?

    RJJ just came of an impressive win...
    Hopkins just showed that he still has a lot in the tank to go a tough 12 rounder..

    big question.. (see poll)

    Makes the most sense imo.

    RJJ has a lot more to gain though.

        Hopkins is showing his age now, I don't know. He won tonight but its not like he dominated like the final scores said. This fight is looking closer by the second. I still favor Hopkins, but I just really think Hopkins should retire. He is a legend, he should retire as one. Theres no reason for him to fight anymore. He will lose if he continues to fight, he will lose if he steps in the ring with Calzaghe. And Calzaghe will embarrass him since the hopkins tonight looked shot and winky looked like he wasn't used to the weight class.

              I would much rather see Hopkins-Jones than that Hopkins-wright. Hopkins jones will be a good fight

                RJj would win...hes got his #. This will never happen cuz Bhop will want 60/40...Jones wont go for anything like that.

                  Hopkins almost won the first time around and that was when jones was prime. I see an aging Hopkins UD ing a washed up RJJ, i think it would deliver. i see it being a good match of two fighters with deteriorating skills leaving it all in the ring... hopefully.

                    Hopkins easy. Jones won the first time against an incredibly inexperienced Hopkins, who didn't know all the tricks that he does now. He didn't use any rough tactics or anything, he merely tried to box with Jones, which is about the worst possible strategy. That fight was won because Jones's atheleticism outclassed Hopkins athleticism (because that is the kind of fight Hopkins tried to fight). This fight would be Hopkins ring experience against Jones's athleticism, because Jones never needed to come up with different ways to win against good competition. He always beat people because he was faster than them, and now that he can't do that anymore, he wins close fights against upstart fighters who aren't even in the top 10 of their division. Hopkins is still winning fights against the world's best in the same way that he always did.
