[DigitalBeast]

roy retire its ridiculous youre not even a gatekeeper,your done hopkins is going to toy with you.id be surprised if it goes 3rnds.roy going for the meldrick taylor route.

Roy is still very, very good.

dudes how many hatton style ko's does it take roy to finally realize he doesnt have it anymore, theres got to be some kind of record.i dig hopkins but its very scumbaggish of him to take this fight.

Saying Bernard will KO Jones? Wanna bet he doesn't? I like both, and I don't see it happening. Maybe a controversial TKO.

Is it true it is going to be televised on an independent pay per view provider and not HBO?

I heard somewhere that HBO will distribute the fight, but GBP will have to produce the fight, that includes having their own commentators. Jim, Steward, and Merchant will not be part of the commentary team is what I heard too.

Style wise it's the most interesting fight out there for them at this stage. They'll both look good in spots and it'll be entertaining, if nothing else because of the true skilled, great boxing brains and athletes they are.

It's not what it would have been 5 years ago, but they're both past it. Roy will look good for a few middle rounds, but Hopkins will take a UD imo, unless he is intent on the KO bonus.

If bernard fights him like he fought Pavlik he should win in 4.

But i have a feeling he will be told to carry Roy for a while and make it competitive. There is NO reason why this fight should be competitive if Bernard can help it.

I love Roy but he's going to be eating out of a straw when he is 60.

Roy should do whatever it takes to win this. He should ask Roger how to get the A-side Meth. This is gonna be personal.

Bernard is no Calzaghe. That guy is a punching machine, who is faster than Bernard. Very different fighter. It should be a pick-em fight, if you got a decent boxing brain.

B-Hop might not be Calzaghe, but Roy just looked pathetic. He looked like Richard Hall. He didn't have the handspeed or the power anymore. Calzaghe was sticking his chin out with his hands down and Jones was still cowering behind his gloves. Time for him to retire. What left does he have to prove? He already beat Hopkins and he's going to get the **** kicked out of him.

Roy is no Pavlik. He's a much better athlete, even now.
