Hopkins Heated at Roy Jones, Will Try To Knock Him Out

I like Hopkins but he never wanted the rematch with Jones while Jones was still in his prime or close to it (since he was on the slide a bit in his 30's).

This fight means nothing for legacy.

Bernard Hopkins (49-5-1, 32 KOs) never hides his feelings about Roy Jones Jr. (54-5, 40 KOs). He respects him as a fighter and dislikes him as a person. The two have never gotten along. That's why it took 16-years for the two sides to reach an agreement for a rematch of their 1993 encounter, which Jones won by decision. On Friday, an agreement was reached, and signed by both, to fight in the first quarter of 2010 [details]

yeah that might work if Hopkins actually had power or went for the KO instead of going for a boring/cheating 12 rounds of holding, headbutting, ball punching, turning his back, etc.

Hopkins takes this all day. Jones has the style to beat him but he is gun shy when someone his own size is firing back. Jones doesnt trust his chin anymore.

Hopkin can clearly crack, he just isnt an overly aggresive fighter who go's for the KO often IMO
