    I like how people also OVER look "shot" Roy.

    Hopkins is coming off a great win in Pavlik....sure.

    By February, he will be a 45 year old man with a 17 MONTH LAYOFF.

    Meanwhile Danny Green will be Roys 4th fight in a year.. and the Bernard fight will be his 5th fight in a little over.

      What speed difference? Only thing Roy's got left is hand speed. He lays on the ropes too much now and isn't using much foot work. Bernard's going to love keeping the fight out of the center of the ring.

        Roy's getting KO'ed one final time. This will surely convince him to retire.

          I think Roy Jones still gives Hopkins trouble.

            Wow, do people REALLY overlook Roy... sure he lost to Joe Calzaghe, a fighter who NOBODY ELSE has beaten either.

            Ill match up Roys legs with that of a 45 year old with a 17month layoff.

            I hope Bernard keeps it in the center of the ring too.. and I hope he doesnt attempt to clinch every 6 seconds.

              Where was Jones so called speed in the Calzaghe fight? It's easy to have speed when there is a punching bag in front of you but Jones don't have the reflexes to hit anybody that moves.

                Joe Calzaghe and Bernard Hopkins are two different styles of fighters.

                Nobody else is beating Joe either.

                And I dont want to hear anything about a controversial split decision... the only thing thats controversial, is that it should have been a UD for Joe.


                Bernard is going to fight nothing like Joe, and he isnt going to have anywhere NEAR the workrate or movement of Joe.

                  And so it begins... look at how we're getting into it. Can you imagine the 24/7 for this? LOL.

                    Hopkins always takes long lay offs.

                      Its easy to look fast against the awful slow Jeff Lacy but Roy is completely done,Thats blindingly obvious.
                      He wasnt just beat by Calzageh he was ****kin embarrassed.
                      Watch Hopkins v Calzaghe and then watch Jones v Calzaghe
                      The difference is hillariously obvious.
