    then your scorecard was totally off. I had RJj.Bhop 116-112. Not close IMO. Bordering on landslide.

      Hopkins is FINALLY showing his age, but.. not by much. Remember, he fought a guy who made Trinidad, Vargas and Mosley (twice) look like boring fighters. Jones isn't just showing his age, he has SHOWN his age. I think Hopkins wins a KINDA close/decent fight. KINDA close, but obvious win, for BHop.

        Sorry everyone but Jones will beat him.... Hopkins is old and he showed it last nite the way he fought. I believe Roy still has about 3 good fights left in him. He says he is hungry again which i believe he looked damn impressive for a guy that is supposed to b washed up against hanshaw. In order for Roy to put on a good fight he needs to have great comp and Bernard is that guy that will get him up.

            ths fight has allofasudden become relevant again.... i think it would be great for boxing.... two aging greats fighting one more time.. i think bernard would be the betting favorite, but as always, i got my boy roy jones.

              I think Hopkins would be too slick for him.He's smarter and smarter when he fights.

                Yeah Bernard couldn't do anything against Roy's speed. It was pretty lopsided.

                  Bernard is great.. But I just think he has a style made for Jones to beat.

                      big question.. (see poll)
                      Roy said in his post-fight interview that he would fight anyone in the world next...except 'Nard
