    lacy was done before he entered the ring against roy.


    please don't look at that lacy fight, and be illusioned into thinking hopkins fights in any way like jeff lacy.


    roy wants you to look at the trindad and lacy fights and believe he still has it in him, but look at dude's track record and seriously say with a straight face, he can beat even a 46 y.o. bernard hopkins.

    i agree with reed, anything can happen in a boxing match, but roy's chances are nowhere near 50%. dude is coming in as a 3-1 underdog for a reason, and 3-1 is being gererous.

    i got hopkins, and i'll give anybody 3-1 odds, that wants to take roy.

      Hopkins isn't a killer at his stage either... in the last 17 months Bernard fought Enrique Ornelas and will be 45 1/2 years old.

      Believe me, anything can go do in in this fight..
      Seeing that you are one of the very very few taht are going to buy this fight do us a favor Reed and give us your round by round here on Da Scene
      thanks bro

        its funny roy has NO confidence whatsoever...at all.....

        him being chinny sure as help doesnt help but im sure we all can agree roy doesnt have the worst chin period..Im not gonna put so much thought or observe his last fight that seriously, but roy is still fast as ****..imagine if roy had the confidence back that only he had before in heyday..

        if roy SOMEHOW just thinks deep and mentally gets somewhere he may be able to just pull something off..hopkins aint as polished as before but i have a feeling we might see an old hopkins and a ****y jones and thats not a good thing if youre hopkins..

        All roy needs to do is take a decent punch and be mentally fit and u just never know

          i'm shocked that so many ppl think this guy even has a chance. if any of you lived anywhere near me, i'd bet you, and give you 10-1 odds, just to convince you.

            .

            look man, i know that Lacy wasn't ****, but the way Roy beat him with the handspeed is still impressive. His hands are still great, but his boxing skill was never great like that. Ornelas really ****** and Danny Green is much better than him. I really think Roy will pepper him. I mean, what do you think bhop is gonna do, slip the straights of Roy and come up with hooks? seriously, i see Roy having the easier night in figuring out Bhop.

                      Roy has fast hands, but no focus. This was made obvious during the Calzaghe and Green fights.

                      BHop will make him look horrendous. I give Roy a 15% chance.
