    We already know Jones and Hopkins stories to death. The fight is 10 years too late and Roy Jones is shot.

    Would you get excited about Hakeem and Patrick Ewing playing 1 on 1 right now when they could both barely walk?
    Come on man. Jones looked good the last time out and Hopkins beat Pavlik like a year ago. That's not a relevant comparison.

      No really but when it comes I probably will be. I some how got myself to get hyped to watch Marquez/Mayweather even though I knew it was a complete mismatch

        Some of the greatest fights of all time were between great fighters past their prime. The reflexes are slower, the smarts are greater. This fight could surprise and be very entertaining.
        Yeah. Just like Jeff Fenech-Azumah Nelson III.

          They're both old as ****. Jones looked good against Lacy which isn't saying much.

          Maybe it'll be good, who knows, but it doesn't have much meaning either way.

          Its just a showcase money fight that Bhop will probably win in boring fashion.

          I'll wait for the free rebroadcast.

            Jones looked good last time yes. But that was against Jeff FUCKING Lacy!

                So you don't think Roy has a shot? Even though Hopkins struggles against fighters like Roy?

                Hopkins loves when guys come right at him thinking they're going to KO or hurt him. Roy will not do that. He'll stay on the outside, pot shot, and throw quick combinations and get out.

                    To me that is the main reason I do not mind the fight, even if Roy is past his best Hopkins does not fit in with the fighters that beat Roy. I thiink it will be interesting to see how it plays out, I just hope it is better then their first fight.
