    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.
    We know for a fact that Jones is shot. Whether the same can be said about the 57 year old Hopkins remains to be seen. If he has anything left he'll win by KTFO.

      How do we know that for a fact? Just curious?

      He was UDed by a fresher P4P type fighter in Calzaghe, so what.

        I, actually, want to see this fight happen. Some say it has nothing to do with legacy. Well, I think it does a bit.

          And KTFO by Tarver and Journeyman Johnson.

          If nothing else it was very evident against Calzaghe. Jones was a shadow of himself even though he faced a 37 year old.

          In any case feel free to look forward to this contest. Every man has his own enjoyments. You asked whether we were hyped for this fight and I gave you my honest answer. I'd rather see this HBO slot filled with some younger blood.

              Roy vs Bernard was a boxing fans dream 10 years ago. However I will still watch two legends in their last hurrah.

                A simple yes or no would do on this poll. I'll be more excited when/if Jones makes it passed Green.

                  yeaa true... the style match up seems to be a boring fight
                  but no matter how much people make fun of this fight
                  its BERNARD "THE EXECUTIONER" HOPKINS against MUTHAFAWKIN ROY JONES JR!

                  how can you not say your excited to watch two of the greatest boxers we've ever seen go at it?

                  even if they ewere 60 yrs old i would still watch it

                  but yea 24/7 should be interesting

                    Clazaghe? This is a fight between two old, old men. The saddest thing is Calzaghe just fought them last year. If anything he should be hiding his face from any boxing fans. He's a complete joke.

                      I am real hyped about this fight being a RJJ fan its a big fight. Even the Danny Green fight is big to me, because it won't be easy fight for RJJ to win especially being overseas and Green is no push over either. As for this fight it's important to me to see RJJ fight higher tier fighter like Hopkins and win. Since RJJ dropped back down to LHW he usually looks good against low and middle tier opponents and the few times he stepped up to higher tier he has lost easily bringing forth tons of excuses why he lost those fights.
