      It's a fight with 2 guys I'm a fan of, so I'll be watching. But I wish it wasn't happening after Roy's loss to Green. And no way I pay to see it. Stream or pub FTW.

        Yeah and it's sad they haven't even overturned the decision and give Roy his gold medals.

        The Green loss definitely took a lot out of this fight. But i'll def be watching it. I mean, it's better late than never.

          Never would have been better if Roy dosen't find a way to pull this one out...

              Hopkins is a top 10 P4P fighter. If Roy beats him he should retire so that he can retire on top. Especially if he beats Hopkins decisively. If he continues fighting then he should get a real easy, smaller, opponent with a known name(Hopkins style) just for the money/his fans, TKO him and then retire. But i'm good with a win over Hopkins then retire.

                  well er uh...i don't think jones had evolved to what he was to become either...was far from the fighter who put hill and griffin on their backs within 5 rounds...thats the fighter hopkins avoided when jones said "60-40"....

                  forget all this "hopkins was green" and the even more absurd "greener than jones" mess in '93....why don't you just say jones was the better fighter in '93 and leave it at that....why is it always some greater excuse when it comes to hopkins...?

                    i know alot people will disagree with me but i see roy still beating b-hop in april,b-hop wont attack him and roy will use the jab and win the early rounds.it will get tight later on with alot of holding because they are both old now but roy will take a close decision,i really hope this happens

                      I can see this to. I truly don't think Hopkins has the power to KO Roy and Roy is still able to box both on the inside and outside. Some days i think it may happen and some days i just can't forget the Green fight and Roy going into his defensive shell like he did against Calzaghe. It depends on which type of Roy shows up on April 3. If it is the right one i think Hopkins will need to really work.
