    I want to see big Roy Jones Jr win, ive always liked him more than B-Hop plus ive got some relatives in Pensacola. I just hope he doesnt get KO'd because i think B-Hop will win one way or the other.

        Jones is the sentimental pick here. I really hope he wins it. Even though he's far past prime, these losses he's had do still count for a little something. I don't want to see him beaten again. His run post Tarver I has been hard to watch.

                i like both boxers for different reasons so it's a win win for me but if i was really forced to pick i'd go for Hopkins mainly only because it would hurt his legacy more than Jones if he lost and they could both call it 1 a piece after this even if it is a well shot jones but Hopkins isn't the same fighter he was 1st time around either,all in all though a prime jones beats a prime hopkins.

                    Jones...I have tried to not get all into this fight since it was announced, now i'm into it like it's Roy's prime again. He has sold this fight somehow, it is now to the point where Jones despite being the underdog has managed to somehow make me believe. Jones has been everything throughout his career, he was like Apollo Creed in his prime and now in 2010 he has somehow managed to become Rocky in this fight. I really want him to do this bad now all of the sudden, I want this as bad as the kid in me wanted Mike Tyson to magically show up in Memphis and defy all logic and beat Lewis down and reclaim the title and more so his aura. Jones cannot reclaim anything on that level in this fight, but Jones going in somehow seems more shot than that version of Tyson was and that somehow makes me want the King to show up one last time. Roy has got it to the point that pulling this off would be almost movie like at this point. He sold this fight by making it mental and letting Hopkins be the bully during the promo and then showed up at the real **** and looked like he meant business and despite the weight thing he was ripped up at his age. This fight and today has been one of the best build up's for a fight I have seen in a long time and it came right at the end, i'm excited for the bout and realize Jones very well could look terrible and this could be the bitter and brutal end worst case scenario, but a Jones win that is even remotely legitimate would make this fight seem like it would be really good fight to watch if he can pull it out somehow. I loved Jones VS Tarver III and if Roy loses even in a fight like that I will be happy as well. I just hope they saved the best for last and really go in and make a fight of it tomorrow.

                      I'll be rooting for a GREAT fight and may the BEST Legend win.....for me its like 2 family members going against each other.....B.Hop will be B.Hop and unfortunately Roy can't be THE Roy we all grew up admiring.....I see Roy having his moments EARLY but slowly gettin' grinded down and hit flush as the rounds past.....I see Roy gettin' pulled outta the fire late by Merk or his dad
