Jones v Hopkins rematch – years too late

Seventeen years after they first fought, Roy Jones jnr and Bernard Hopkins are to face off again.

In boxing terms they are both old men, although Hopkins appears to have aged better than Jones.

I can’t say it’s a fight I would pay money to watch, especially since I reckon the outcome is obvious – Hopkins to win, most probably inside the distance.

Poor Roy … he was excellent once, but those days are long gone (along with his chin).

roy jones aint the same anymore plus when he fought danny green i dont know what he was doing going in front, back when he fought john ruiz he did the hit and run which was at heavyweight and green is a better puncher and quicker then ruiz so roy should have had a better game plan

    At the height of his sporting prowess, David Isaacson could be seen every Saturday afternoon climbing the stairs to the upper gallery of Newlands. An all-round sportsman in his younger days - he was equally awful at cricket, soccer, athletics, swimming, table tennis, tennis, judo, cycling, hockey, basketball, volleyball and touch rugby - David quickly learnt that it was much easier (and far less painful) to be an armchair critic. As a journalist he has covered three Olympic Games, infuriated several sports administrators, reported on numerous other events and irritated Butana Komphela.
