    Green is a hand picked opponent. Ry should easily UD him.

      I hope he beats Green. The Hopkins rematch needs to happen.

        Of course there's pressure. He must beat Green to fight Hopkins for a big money PPV event/retirement check!

        Nothing he cant handle..... Expect Jones Lacy all over again vs Green.

          You notice of how HBO never puts Roy Jones in a dangerous fight before milking him against guys like Calzaghe and now Hopkins. And people think B-Hop is going to lose to a guy who's confidence is totally shot. I'm not one of them.

            Wow, I've never seen Mundine fight before. It's eerie how much he emulates a slower version of Roy Jones. He actually has all the movements, etc.. down. That's interesting to say the least. Green is in for a long night if an imitation Jones gave him a hard time at the office.

            Roy by late TKO or UD.

                I'm pretty positive Roy Jones is self promoting (Square Ring Inc.) the Green fight, like he did with the Lacy fight. But I'm pretty sure HBO will be assisting in the Hopkins fight..

                Well, Roy Jones "should" win the Green fight, but hes going up to cruiserweight to do it, so that means hes dropping weight to fight Hopkins, an we all know how he gets after dropping weight, look what happened with John Ruiz, he owned him, then fought Tarver after dropping weight an wasnt himself. Losing that much muscle takes alot out of you, physically an mentally.. I dont feel to positive about the Hopkins fight, plus Hopkins looked very strong against Pavlik, the best I've seen him in awhile.

                    I think he will get a UD, he just has to try not to get too ****y. But you know he will want to put on a show.

                      For one, that was at HW. This fights at CW

                      two, I doubt Jones will repeat how he lost the weight that he did vs Ruiz, plus its CW not HW. Jones advantage is speed. He wont gain much weight like he did vs Ruiz at HW.

                      three, Hopkins was planning on moving to CW for Adamek. They might have a catch weight. IDK but either way Jones wont drop weight like he did when he was 200 plus having to drop down to 175 for Tarver.

                      four, this fight will be a Jones Lacy two. By the time its over people that say green is a threat will in turn say its a mismatch and a hand picked appointment. In the end everyone will be right.
