    Hopkins said himself it would be devastating if he would lose to Roy at this point in Roy's career. He is definatly motivated. I think we will see early in the fight how it is going to end. Hopefully Hopkins still has problems with Roy's speed and boxing ability if not we have a problem.

      I wonder if that means he os going to fight a careful fight rather than going after Roy. I can see Roy laying on the ropes and Hopkins maybe not wanting to play that game..

        Yeah i think Hopkins might stay back a bit trying to counter, test how fast Roy still can get in and out, if it dosen't work as he want's it to i think he is gonna try to rought it up a little more. Hopkins will use every trick he knows to try and win this. It all depends on what Roy can still bring.

            You think? I know so. the only question is whether a knockout will be the outcome.

            RJ showed a lot of heart against Calzaghe, but even though Hopkins doesn't throw many punches, he will buzz and drop Roy for the count late in the fight.

                Hopkins looks huge.

                And scary.

                Hes just too tough, too smart, he's still fast and powerful enough.


                I dont see how Jones can win.

                  rjj's hand speed is gonna give hopkins trouble. but once rjj gets on the ropes, hopkins will break him down

                    ^^^ Roy is prolly better right now at fighting off the ropes than in the middle of the ring... B-HOP does NOT have the power to hurt Roy.
