    Hopkins or Jones?

    Just wondering what people think would be the outcome of a Hopkins-Jones rematch at this stage in their careers...I know that it is unlikely that it will come off even if Hopkins is saying he wants to fight Roy as his match before he retires but if they did...? I think Hopkins is a stronger all around fighter at this stage in his career...Jones looked really bad against Johnson BUT Hopkins also isn't a pressure fighter as is Johnson, so Roy would have some breathing room...Hopkins has also stayed at a lower weight and would probably fight Jones at light-heavy or mabe super-middle so Roy could make the weight...since both fighters are near the end of their careers it could be a big draw if they played up Jones being the last person to beat Nard, etc...I think I would go with Hopkins based on his last few performances...opinions?

        If they wait much longer it is going to depends on who has the better traction on their wheelchairs.

          While this fight would be historically significant, I foresee a boring fight where Jones wins just because he is now the naturally bigger man.
