People shoulda known Tarver was not going to fight Hopkins. Tarver is on to "bigger" fish like a shot Mike Tyson and Slyvester Stallone. Tarver is over 220 now. He will never fight at 175 again.
This fight is happening late, and it will be boring, but if Roy can retire after this with a win I'll be satisfied. If he loses, well, who cares...Hops was just p4p number 1 and everyone knows Roy is done anyway. In any case, there's no reason to think Roy would be scared of Hopkins' "power". Hopkins never hurt DLH with a head shot and took all fight to stop Tito Trinidad. Roy was somewhat scared of a 175 lbs one punch KO artist, but still managed to stun and walk him down in the fight. Hopkins' power at 175 will be next to nothing. This will be a long, rather unexciting fight, which is good in a way because whatever good that happens will be a pleasant surprise.

ALREADY making excuses. You are the most pathetic Roy fan EVER. LMAO
Everybody wants to go out with a ko win over jones jr,
its like tyson all over again, or ali even,
jones wins same as last time, np
I dont know about that boss.
Jones has shown his reflexes are not the same after drastic weight fluxuation and time. Hopkins remarkably has excellent relexes at his advanced stage. Though the first fight was unanimous, I thought it was closer than the judges had it. I had it 115-113 for Jones as opposed to 116-112. The fight could be close, but the question is: Can Roy impress the judges with flurries and accurate punching? or will Hopkins get to Jones through the gaurd and destroy his gameplan.
As far as the legacy deal where there is no dispute, in that Jones is a greater fighter.

There were a TON of close rounds in Jones-Hopkins I. Easily 4-5 rounds that could have gone either way. Hopkins clearly won 4 rounds, so having him losing by two points is not a stretch at all. If Jones didn't have the better punching power, that fight could have been a draw.
