    Lots will buy it. They're both still very capable.

        Actually i have more than a pulse, and im not saying that the fight will be boring, im saying that bernard hopkins has been known to have boring fights. Bernard is always in excellent condition but its his style of fighting that doesnt appeal to most of his critics, no matter how effective for him it may be. Knowing the history between the two fighters i cant wait to see this fight. The 24/7 is going to be the best HBO ever had and because of there styles i think its going to make a pretty interesting match-up.

                Wow that's a tough call, depending who's in the final four , hard to choose between the two events.hopefully the fight is one tenth as good as the drama Roy "terminator" and b-hop "big head" is conjuring up.

                  Yeah, by fighting another old man.

                  This fight, as I have said on numerous occasions, is pathetic.

                    I don't think so. Neither were massive PPV draws in their prime, even less so now.

                    The fight will not sell well at all.

                      agreed...jones already shot his load, and is just shot...

                      only reason why hopkins is still relevant, is because he has found a way to avoid fighting the best competition....only has smaller and shot fighters who have a name, on his greatest wins list...
