    The last sentence is simply untrue.

      No way, he's going to fight a bum. Maybe he can get Jeff Lacy or Shieka.

        Didn't Tarver say he'd want a rematch? Didn't Bernard say that it was easy? Why not? Do you think Tarver has a good chance against Bernard?

            I don't think anyone could actually say that without lying to themselves. Big difference in the Jones that beat Ruiz and the Jones vs Tarver/Johnson. He should have pulled a 2 year Mayweather and left the game to recover, just as he said he should have.

            His last fight that he lost vs Joe calSloppy he looked bad, a cut and age got to him as Joe's known ability is to slap/ "tag" (Olympic style boxing) for 12 rounds to a UD. Jones lost. Fast forward to now. He beat a never has been Lacy.

            Jones hasn't done anything vs a P4P fighter in a long time. POINT was that I'm trying to be fair as I like Hopkins and Jones both.

                Hopkins takes it. That dropped jab, chicken wing of Roy's that turns into a left hook out of nowhere, is done. Snaggle toof wins this.

                  Did you honestly see how Calzaghe slipped all those telegraphed left hooks? Also Calzaghe is not a defensive genious. I'm telling you Hopkins will probably not get hit clean much if at all, and it will look like the wright fight. UD or possible late TKO for Hopkins.

                      This fight means nothing for legacy.
                      What the hell are you talkin about???Hopkins called out roy in the past but ROY never wanted any part of it. Here is some OLD footage.
