Roy Jones would beat Hopkins if the fought.. Heres why..

[King Jaffe Joffer]

Is Jones a better fighter than Hopkins right now? No. I dont think so..
But guess what.. Styles make fights...

Benard has trouble with guys with fast hands..

Taylor, Calzage....


Roy has faster hands than both those guys..(Calslappy has a case tho)

Hopkins lounging one punch and grabbing crap wont work on Roy..
Roys gonna move around and flurry.. Over and over and over again..
They both dont throw a lot of punches but I would favor Roy because of his physical gifts..jUST LIKE THERE FIRST FIGHT... Hopkins isnt KOing anyone and will be very weary of Jones speed.. Jones also still have decent pop..
Theres a reason Hopkins refuses to fight.. He knows he cant win.. This would be an awesome payday for both fighters

Since nobody is replying to your post his is for you!

[razor.thin]

exactly. roy will always beat hopkins.

I can't believe people think Roy Jones could beat B-Hop right now, I guess Bringer was right, Roy beats a C Level fighter and all of a sudden he's back.

[-EX-]

You forgot that Roy's legs are gone at this age...Jermain and Joe weren't washed up...and Hopkins didn't throw one punch and grab against Pavlik or Tarver

Jermain was a prime middleweight on the fast track to stardom and he just squeaked out a decision over Bernard...

[Dan...]

Disagree.

Whilst Roy is a bad style matchup for Bernard he doesn't have anywhere near enough left to beat Hopkins at this stage.

Hopkins wins a clear and boring decision.

[FLY TY]

Disagree.

Hopkins wins a clear and boring decision.

i disagree. if hopkins hit roy w/ the shots he gave pavlik, he knocks him out....

will be a clear win, but i don't think it'd be a boring fight at all.

I call it the Mike Tyson moron effect.

[Freddy Krueger]

I agree, hopkins looks like **** against guys with speed. He had to hug calzaghe all night long because he couldn't see calzaghes punches coming because of the speed.

I think Roy's speed stops Hopkins fighting like he did against Pavlik.

He fights a cagey fight against Roy I think. Even at this stage Roy is pretty quick and B-Hop would be weary of that.

I don't think Hopkins would be prepared to take the risk to let it go enough to stop Jones.

So yeah, I see a UD as the most likley result. I'm pretty sure the fight would be a boring one too. These guys' styles are just not conducive to an exciting match-up.
