    I think Jones, his handspeed is still there and he's a very smart fighter so he won't fall into Hopkins' traps. Boring fight though, both of them would be posing more than punching.

        RJJ got more left than hopkins. i think its a late round stoppage!
        I clicked on "KO" only as no option for TKO
        i think Jones has more in the legs and would break the old fella down and the ref steps in late.

            Saying that tho... i thought Jones would have stopped Trinidad. and for some reason he chose not to step it up and take Trinidad out late... cuz he could have he was landing shots at will late on (from what i remember)

              Hopkins would stop Jones. He definitely has a lot more left and is too strong for Roy now. I honestly can't see Jones beating any top fighter right now. Wins over a blown up Hanshaw(that was never good in the first place) and Trinidad(who was out of his weight class, prime and ring rusty) does not convince me of anyting. People are completely forgetting that neither of these guys were not only lesser at the moment, but were both also past their weight class and not ranked in the top 50 in that division. Hanshaw is a super middleweight and Trinidad has not fought in 2 years and had been out boxed badly in his last fight. Bernard would systematically wear him down and stop him late.

                  I went with Jones also because I thought Hopkins looked 43 towards the end of the Calzaghe fight.

                  Saying that, it was actually a tough one to pick for me.

                    Thats what i thought. Jones chin has been shakey of late and Hopkins is a pretty strong puncher. It would be interesting...boring but interesting.
