He'll win a decision.

I didn't say Roy would win, I just think he'll probably give a better performance than what people are expecting of him. I agree with you 100% that this fight should add nothing to Hopkin's legacy, nor take away anything from Roy's. This fight should have taken place 8-10 years ago when BOTH of them were at their best. However, with that being said, I'll still tune in Saturday and hope that Roy has a similar moment to when George Foreman knocked out Michael Moorer. That would be sweet.Comment

I wouldn't write Jones off completely. I think he's still got the speed to give Hopkins problems. He looked fairly sharp against Green before the KO...it's just a question of whether or not that was a lucky punch that hit him the right spot or it's a sign that his ability to take a punch has even further deteriorated. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to build him up as though he's prime Jones. He's shot but even a shot Jones is still a good fighter and he still has speed as I mentioned, just not legs (and some loss of reflexes) but Hopkins isn't a pressure fighter where he really needs them as much.
Hopkins on the other hand is now 45 years old and isn't getting any quicker himself. He's going to look to do pummel Jones on the inside but that speed may make it a little difficult. However, Hopkins would probably kill himself if he lost this fight so he's probably going to take risks and I think he'll eventually get to him but I don't really think the fight is going to be one-sided, at least the first half or so.Comment
