    sad.............

    You should just stick to talking about your boy Joey....
    P4P all time I hold Roy Jones higher than Calzaghe.

    Roy Jones is prob in my top 3 fav fighters

    But the difference is, I can see Roy doesn't have enough for Hopkins at this point, you can't.

    But this is all speculation, we will never know for sure

      I'd pick Jones. Bernard just wouldn't throw enough. I would be surprised if Bernard could beat any top rated fighter from 160-175 at the moment. He looked completely done against Joe as far as I am concerned. It shouldn't really be surprising, the man is in his mid 40s.

        But what I'm saying is IF you picked Joe Calzaghe to win then surley you would pick Roy Jones to win. WHY? You really think Joe could have KO'ed HOP? NO

        Joe was going to win by being MORE active, JUST like Jones will. He wont knock out grandpa hop, just win by being more active..... simple as that..... HOP will tire and throw very little punches just as he did with joe while Jones will dance around and throw more to win. Joe didnt even LAND anything, just threw more to win on points.

        Roy beats hop SD/UD.... either way Roy would win.....

          Hopkins would land one of his counter right hands and Jones would go to sleep again.

          1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10.........It's over !!!!!!

          Hopkins wins by KO

            Hanshaw turned out to be an overhyped prospect...Trinidad was fighting way over a decent fighting weight for him when he was skilled and he won a few rounds against Roy when Winky absolutely destroyed him every second of the fight...the same Winky that Bernard beat.

            Jones hasn't won a good fight since Ruiz. (I'm calling the first Tarver fight a bad decision - Tarver clearly won the second and third fights and the first fight should have gone to him), and Hopkins dominated Tarver.

            This fight would suck to have to sit through, but I'm picking Bernard by decision.

                It was not a bad decision. There is no way Tarver won more than 5 rounds in that fight.

                You make some good points though, Roy has never fought well since that Ruiz fight.

                  Roy's too easy to hit anymore when he hangs out on the ropes - the same Hopkins that KD'd Calzaghe and Tarver puts Roy to sleep if he connects...and roy's legs aren't what they used to be
