    joys way to over the hill for him to have much chance he could always have a punchers chance stranger things have happened. but even as a big fan of roy and the fact i cant stand berntard im still gonna say hopkins would do pretty much what calzaghe did to him roy needs to realise enough is enough re reguarde as somethin or a legend and hes doin his boxing legacy no good what so ever getting beaten all the time now

      If you think Roy beats BHop convinvingly at this stage you are completely nuts.

      I don't want to see Roy fight again, but if he did I would watch. I'd pay for a full priced PPV to see him fight.

          Punchers chance? Against BHop? I doubt it. The man has masterfull defence and a world class chin and Roy hasn't been knocking out guys like Hanshaw and Prince or an old and bloated Tito.

          Hopkins wouldn't do what Calzaghe did to Roy, because he wouldn't be able to sustain that kind of workrate. Calzaghe pretty much just overwhelmed Roy with sheer volume. The Calzaghe fight should show everyone that Roy would have absolutely no chance against BHop right now though. The thing that hit me in that fight is that Roy isn't even fast anymore. He would barely land a clean blow on Hopkins and BHop would win pretty much every round.

                As as a fan of BOTH, Yes and probably pay what ever it cost to watch it. Sad but true.

                Imagine the drama between these "life-long friends".
