Does any one on here honestly think that Hopkins can KO the Roy from now?

    I think this would be a good fight. If Jones beats Green and Hopkins beats Adamek, they should fight.

    As for Hopkins knocking out Jones, I don't see it. But that doesn't mean he can't win.

          Alright look at this right here.

          Hanshaw - UD
          Ajamu - UD
          Trinidad - UD

          Sheika - TKO
          Lacy - TKO
          Green - TBA

          What i'm trying to show here is that maybe, just MAYBE, Roy's activity has gotten him to the point where he can actually TKO the Hanshaw's and Ajamu's of boxing. Why do i Think this? well, Sheika and Lacy are not too far away from Hanshaw and Ajamu.

          I am a proud Roy Jones nut hugger, but i'm not delusional. I think that Roy Jones has adjusted to his new style. He has accepted that his reflexes are gone, and that he's not in his prime anymore. He was in denial before, and he was trying hard to show fans that he's still the same old Roy. But the truth shall set you free, and that's what it did to Roy. He is comfortable with his newfound style. That's why he looks like he's having fun again and actually stopping the lower tier guys.

          When he Knocked Down Calzaghe, he thought "oh this is going to be an easy night" and that threw him off his gameplan. Roy is old, but he tried to fight Calzaghe like the prime Roy who potshots you with lightning quick power punches and can throw combinations at any time he wants. The Calzaghe KD got him all delusional and ***ed up his whole night.

          I'm not saying that "Roy is back!", all i'm saying is that he's much more comfortable now knowing that he is not in his prime and he has found a way to have fun again with his new style. Let's admit it, the Jones that fought Hanshaw and Ajamu would have also decisioned Lacy and Sheika.

          With all that said, i would put all my points on Roy Jones beating Hopkins if the rematch ever happens.

          And btw, Hopkins didn't "almost KO'ed Pavlik" he stunned him several times. He said himself in the post fight interview that he tried his best to go for the KO, he said he was actually going for the KO. And he didn't get it with his best, he only stunned Pavlik. Jermain Taylor almost KO'ed Pavlik. Big difference between stunning someone and almost KO'ing them.

            These are two of my favorite fighters, i just want to see them fight live now not their 1993 bout. They're both active and both are in good boxing condition, not prime, but oth are i ngood shape.
            Yes, because Hopkisn is a stationary target with no defense, andno movement. Why couldn't the Roy blazing handspeed out box Glenn Johnson who has been outboxed by B level fighters?

              Why did Roy lose to Tarver. Please think about this. Tarver isn't active at all, and Tarver outboxed him and countered him.

Fight likely stays in center of the ring, Roy will have a pot shotting night, easy UD. Once again hopkins is amazing , but Roy has an easy night.. hands are too fast..

                  Roy didn't have an easy night in 93 when he had superhuman talents. I am convinced that rob is nuts. Roy pot shotting a defensive master who doesn't get hit flush in Hopkins all night? Calzaghe doesn't have the greatest defense, and he looked like Whitaker against Jones. RJJ's hands are not goign to do anything with no set up behing them.

                    tarver had the height and reach on jones, in the first fight in the center of the ring jones still had the advantage, only when jones fell back to the ropes is when tarver got to tee off...in the rematch first round jones began to outbox him, second round tarver made the adjustments and got the perfect counter shot...
