    Eh, I think that Jones's new guard up style isn't going to have a lot of success against Hopkins, but that's just me. Are you taking straight up bets on it or are you wanting odds?

      I have both of the fights but I was referring to the first. And I've watched it countless times. Disagree? Fine by me. But I had Hops winning easy. And I'll venture to say that Taylor didn't even win the first round. I had it even after 6 and then Hopkins pulled away.

        Maybe for you but me picking Hopkin isn't a given.

        I always picks fights based on styles and recent performances.

                Your too blinded by your hate for Hopkins to give him credit for anything.

                If Hopkins was to beat Roy, you wouldn't give him **** all credit because like i stated above your a childish hater.

                i told you i'd give him credit for fighting someone his size with equal talent...albeit shotroy jones...maybe it could be the start of a new trend...

                and for the record, i don't mind discussing his overrated career with his delusional faithful...

                    I saw it in spots against Lacy.
                    Only on the ropes... not in the center of the ring. and on the ropes.. he should fight like that...

                    he also commented that if lacy wanted to fight on the ropes, and roy was beating him on the ropes.. why change? why waste energy? if im beating him here, then we can stay here.

                      Roy stays on the ropes because he can't fight anywhere else. Very bad matchup for him IMO. Hate to see fighters at this age get hurt and I'm sure Hopkins is licking his chops at the idea of ****ing one of his patented rights off Roy's dome.
