      I hear what you guys are saying. But I think Jones could handle Hopkins style better than Tarver or Pavlik. Pavlik was like a sitting duck to Hopkins because he had never seen that style before (not to mention he had never fought at 170). I really thought Calzaghe's workrate and speed is what overwhelmed Jones. Sure Hopkins stamina was great against Pavlik, but I can't picture him throwing in flurries like Calzaghe had done against Jones.
      I also can't see Roy landing big shots against BHop's D.

        Kelly will end up at 170 or 175 before his career is over anyway, his frame is entirely too big to be drained down to make 160.
        I didn't necessarily mean Pavlik, he had never fought a fighter at 170. I am not saying it completely contributed to him losing. But Jones has already proven he can handle guys at 170, Pavlik really hasn't.

        Me neither, but I can see him pot shoting easier against Hopkins.
