Hopkins will not stop Roy or even brutally beat him

Its going to be about as one sided of a beating as anyone has ever seen. Roy is going to look about ready to cry 3 rounds in.

I don't think so. Most likely scenario is a decision win for Roy Jones Jr. The only person Bernard has beat up recently was Kelly Pavlik and that's because Pavlik is an aggressive fighter who comes at you. Roy is simply going to move, use angles and outbox Bernard. Roy has slowed down but he's still way quicker than Bernard. Styles make fights and this matchup is always a stylistically difficult one for Bernard to win.

Jones can win this as long as he doesn't get hit on his weak spot around the side of his head.

Kevin is wrong....again.

This is how I see it as well. Roy's legs and chin are gone but his handspeed is still up there with the fastest guys in boxing imo. Hopkins was beating Pavlik to the punch but that's Pavlik, Pavlik is known for power and coming at you throwing a lot of punches at you if you're there to be hit. Roy is known for taking his time, pot shotting, sometimes throwing nice combinations if you give him the time and space which Hopkins low work ate will def enable Roy to use his handspeed to try and potshot to a decision.

if rjj don't look like this after the fight, it will be a disappointment.

Roy will be left with no legs covering up against the ropes for most of the fight.

Roy used to have excellent ring generalship, so opponents had to fight wherever we wanted it. Hopkins still has great ring generalship and he will use it. Trust, Jones will be getting beat up.

I think Hopkins is all talk. I don't buy into this "enemies" bit. Those guys are friends behind the scenes. He is going to play patty cake with Jones and carry him for 12 rounds.

Hopkins is a businessman. Not a killer.

Jones will also have to much pride to lie down. He's will try and summon some heart for once.
