      I wouldn't look that bad. Roy can still box, if Hopkins dosen't press the fight or work hard enough he might get outboxed and outworked by Roy. It wouldn't be suprising.

        True true, its unlike BHop to be aggressive. So we'll see, should be interesting. One thing is for sure though, this is a lose lose situation for BHop. If he wins, he beat a Roy who should have retired 5-6 years ago, and if he loses he got schooled by a dude who got KO'ed by Green in the first round OUCH!!!

          yeah man...i think is mor like peace of mind kinda thing when you avenge a loss....maybe thats what bhop is after, and youre right,thats all there is to gain really......but , theyre both old, i think its forgivable no matter what....

            dumb fight for hopkins. he has everything to lose.....nothing to gain.

            i'd rather see him retire than fight this fight. no need to humiliate roy jones any more than has already been done.

              I don't think Hopkins will knock him out. I think this will probably be a close fight.

              TS, it won't hurt his legacy if he loses at 45 years old.

BHOP cannot lose this fight, if he does it would be some what of a mockery. If a bum such as Green can whoop Roy in the first round then surely BHOP should either win by a wide UD or even knock Roy out.
                want the executioner to win this ....and yeah it will be bad for Bernard Hopkins career IMO if he loses to an old RJJ

                  If B-hop loses this fight its because:

                  1) Danny Green really does hit that hard

                  2) Jones threw the fight to shock us even more when he beat Hopkins

                  3) Hopkins himself got old over night

                  I seriously doubt Hopkins will lose anything if he doesn't win this fight. He has a great excuse, he's 40+ years old. Same excuse Roy has.

                    bernie has ducked Roy for years. Had Roy not lost to Green the way he did, bernie would of never taken the rematch.
