        The battle of grandpa's.

          I'd definitely like to see more of him.
          He's not bad but at the end of the day Jones out classes him. He will pot shot all day just as he did Lacy. Green is limited and Jones will expose what skills he dose have.

          It's boxing so there is always a chance of KO. So yes Green does have a chance.

            Their careers were a different path, Hopkins was a long reigning MW champ and Jones went up to SMW and LHW and eventually to HW and back down. B Hop didn't become a big name till the Trinidad match. Don't know why the animosity cause the time lines don't cross each other

              Lol, I'm not new to the sport and have been watching it pretty long. I think the fight is awesome and just don't get why people aren't ever pleased.

                This fight means nothing for legacy.
                They're both still very good fighters. Jones looked very good vs Lacy. This very much means a lot for legacy.

                  Bernard has a decent shot. He did knock down Calzaghe. Kessler can't say the same. Just think a bit...

                    So...he threw nothing vs Calzaghe, and barely anything vs Lacy? Or, do you consider Lacy to be much smaller than Jones? Never mind that he lacked the skills in their fight. He also threw nothing vs Tarver, right?

                      Everybody overlook the fact that Jones doesn;t only lose to pressure fighters. If Tarver is a pressure fighter then I do not know what to say. Hopkins TKO 10.
