    Unbiasedly i gotta say B-hop by decision. But it wouldt be a cakewalk for him, i got Jones winning at least 3-4 rounds

      Roy Jones is DONE on the elite level. He got stretched twice 5 years ago, fought some D and C level competiiton fooled a few, fought a no hoper in Trinidad, beat him and he had people fooled with his magic trick, and then Calzaghe showed eeryone what Glenn Jonson did years earlier, that he was done and couldn't fight at the top level anymore. After that loss with wins over Sheika and Lacy the smoke and mirrors effect is back after fighting two shot to ship opponents that were never good to begin with, and now people think Jones can hang with the elite at 175 and above? Forget that. Jones is done and has been for a while. I want him to beat green and then retire.

        Bernard looks as wiley as ever in the ring these days whilst the last time Roy came up against a top class fighter he looked sluggish...I'd hope that Roy would make it an entertaining fight but I can't see past B Hop especially considering I know how determined he would be to defeat Roy.

          I agree that Jones is way past it and will continue to decline, but this isn't the best Hopkins either. They are both in decline, and honestly I think Hop was just having a great night against the right opponent last time out. When does he usually look that fast and fight for 12 full rounds in recent memory?

            Hopkins has declined, but his style isn't effected as much as Jones' is by it. Also Hopkins has shown that he can beat the elite fighters, Jones hasn't beaten a top fighter since he fought Tarver the first time almost 6 years ago, albiet looking very bad in that fight.

              I think you are missing the point.

              Hopkins is still arguably the best fighter in the world at 175 pounds. There is noone in the world who would be clearly be favoured over him at that weight. He is coming off a very impressive performance against an elite fighter and nearly beat Calzaghe just before that.

              Roy hasn't come close to beating an elite fighter in years.

                    Well maybe he wouldn't have if he listened to his corner, doubled the ****in jab and touched Hop in the nuts But you and Bully have a bet if Hopkins/Jones 2 ever happens.

                      They don't realize that Jones is now a boxing equivalent to a hoopty. It will still get you around, but bring it close to other whips and it gets smoked.
