Saturday's match-up is an intriguing one. Both boxers are on the down side of 40 years old, creating an interesting battle between a pair of savvy veterans. Fighters like George Foreman and Evander Holyfield have fought into their 40s before, but a big-time match-up between two 40-somethings is a rare occurrence indeed.
Jones initially weighed-in at a half-pound over Friday, and needed to re-weigh an hour later. Hopkins, meanwhile, came in at exactly 175 pounds.
Saturday's battle, at Mandalay Bay, will be for the light-heavyweight title.
Jones has the higher profile career, but both have left an indelibe mark on boxing. A sport chasing UFC for popularity may gain a boost from the bout, though it will be interesting to see how much of one.
