    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.

      I must be wrong...Bernard throws 1,000 punches in a fight and has definitely proven his power at LHW. He's also a stalker/pressure fighter who'se in your face all night.

          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.

          Hopkins is not going to box this version of Roy jones Jr, Hopkins is going to stalker and pressure Jones.

              No he won't. 20 years in the game and he's just going to completely change his style and start throwing punches in bunches? Nah.

                    Hopkins last two fight he has open a bit more against younger and more in depth fighters, Against a Shot and done Roy jones he would look to make a statement, Please stay away for the fight please. Take (IMdaze) advise.

                      Yeah but Pavlik is a come forward plodder with literally ZERO movement at 170lbs.. and Ornelas... yeah.

                      Roy can still move well, at least against someone with Hopkins age he can. He isn't just going to plod forward so Hopkins can land whenever he wants, it isn't going to go down like that.
