Hopkins and Jones Story Coming to an End

Bernard Hopkins defeated Roy Jones by unanimous decision in an ugly fight on Saturday night. Jones looks like he is definitely done. Hopkins is an x-factor. He looked bad but it's hard to say he won't come out in his next fight and blow us away. Hopkins called out David Haye which is as bold a move as I've ever seen. Haye is a fast prime heavyweight. He is nothing like John Ruiz. Beating Haye would put Hopkins into another stratosphere. Remember, he's already a legend. The problem will be getting the fight after he looked sub par against a shot Jones and Haye dominated a game John Ruiz. Haye has a huge super money fight waiting for him against one of the Klitschko brothers. The Hopkins fight would not be as big. If Haye beats Wlad or Vitali and Hopkins dominates a solid cruiser weight or beats Tomasz Adamek then the fight could be huge. Roy Jones has once again put Hopkins in a difficult position even though this time he won the fight. He needed a knockout; he needed to dominate. Hopefully, he can get back on track with another solid victory.
