          True, maybe we should all vote from this site?

              These two bastards should have fought before their tune ups. All Jones had with Green was a verbal promise.

                I don't really know what to think about this fight. The author of the article seems to think Jones could take it because of his superior speed and Hopkins low workrate. I thought that to after the Lacy fight but then the Green fight happened.

                I still think Jones might have a chance if he keeps his hands going. He must be active not like his first few fights after the Tarver and Johnson losses where he mostly stayed in his shell. Roy's biggest flaw right now is that he is so stationary. Hopkins still got good footwork.

                  It was 4 mill though... The most he's made since Tarver... He barely made anything against Trinidad because King gauranteed Tito 10 million and him and Roy would split the rest.. and the Joe fight didn't do well.

                    Jones should not have taken that Joe fight man.
