      any matchup for jones now is a bad matchup...jones is a t-total bum now....reflexes are gone man...he did the back back, back back move with his arms wide open and c fighter green beat him to the punch and put him on his back...roy's gone man its a wrap...even hopkins non combo throwin', defensive a** can ko this version of roy...

        Yeah, but I disagree.

        Green is a stalker and a pressure fighter, and Bernard is going to box you. The last time Bernard KOd someone was 6 years ago and it was a JR MW.

          yeah but jones was pimpslapped mercilously by calzaghe, and couldn't hurt him with nothing....plus slow a** green just landed his first punch, and roy went down...i think even bernard's defensive ass takes a chance and opens up on um...

            Joe crawled around a lot on the floor in the first round for a guy that wasn't hurt by nothing.

              more of a half punch, half elbow...

              then from round 2 on, it was a drubbing that jones had no answer for....

                      Yeah well Joe throws 1,000 punches in a fight and Bernard throws 50... so that comparison is useless. Roy got caught, it was his fault... but Green is a hard puncher. His skills have nothing to do with him being a hard puncher... Even if his reflexes are faded, it isn't like Hopkins reflexes are cat like either. These styles aren't comparable to Bernard. Bernard is going to box Roy in the center of the ring.
