Hopkins - Jones Jr. II - Your Thoughts?

[Boxing4Real]

How could Roy possibly get the judges to do the right thing and give him his earned victory over Hopkins? His only chance would be a knockout win, which we know isn't happening.

The fix is already in on that fight and it hasn't even happened yet. All the prove you need to know that is in the Hopkins-Wright fight. Hopkins is already possibly paying off Nevada 300k. I wonder how much of Hopkins' purse the judges got. They deserve all of it since they won the fight for Hopkins.

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.

Jones has as much if not more ring experience than Hopkins. The only thing that Hopkins has on Jones is chin and dirty tactics. He's not going to have the energy to keep Jones on the ropes the entire fight so Jones will win in the center of the ring.

Roy takes it all the way

[Don Johnson]

RJJ just has that style that'll beat B-Hop every time. That fight was a ****ing landslide, I don't see how anyone could say that RJJ lost that. At the time Jones was 21-0 and B-Hop was 22-1. So Hopkins had more pro experience. They both were green in that fight. RJJ will win everytime they fight

love them both, along with toney may fav fighters.

but i think roy catches bernard with something big....as bernard tries to bum rush him....a very shocking stoppage.

[RB23]

After beating Winky I think B-Hop has alot left in him and he could go 12 rounds with RJJ, I'd love to see it and if i had to bet on it I'd say Hopkins by UD.

B-Hop is not only destroying Jones worse than he did Tarver but Jones is going to suffer his 3rd KO unless he fights the way he did in Jones-Tarver 3. After James Toney, Roy has fought **** competition until he met Tarver and got exposed. Aging or not, if he wasnt ranked the top p4p fighter at one point, I would never even talk about this guy. Jones aint beating any top ranked fighter today. none.

This is a hard fight to pick. If I was forced to make a pick, I got RJJ by dec. Nard doesn't have KO power and even at this stage RJJ is still faster. RJJ is bigger. Nard will have use his rough house tactics and mental game for him to win

[The definition]

well the poll is dead even now and i just picked jones by UD or a late stoppage, just because you never know but he may throw in a quick combination (probably off the ropes again, that is the way this fight if it happens will go because hopkins would pressure it and it could be interesting)

Yes, basically my feeling as well..
