    Hopkins really looked old

    With the weight and his age he looked like he was stuck in molasses.... It looks like it time for him to hang em up.... But he won,t and he,ll fight roy and they will both make a few dollars and they both should call it quits..... Thoughts???

    Hopkins fought cautious the first few rounds, was simply getting rid of the rust.

    After round 5, he controlled the fight.

          Hopkins is an incredible man, he was rusty early on, not looking old. He is an example to all of us to keep ourseleves in shape as we age.

            Uhh, he looked pretty damn fresh to me. I mean yeah he's 44 years old and isn't quite as fast as he used to be, but that was his style of fighting. He seemed alert and his reflexes were there.

            He did eat a few more punches than I'm used to, but that was also due in part to his opponents aggression and hopkins taking some chances.

              With a 1st round KO loss, Hopkins-Jones II went down the toilet. Anyone who tries to promote that would lose a hell of a lot of money.

                    Nah, looked fine to me.

                    HW Champ in 2010 baby!



                    Don't fight Roy, though.

                    Let him retire.
