"JONES-HOPKINS II OFF MARCH 11
By G. Leon


Reliable sources have informed **********.com that the Roy Jones Jr-Bernard Hopkins II will not take place on March 11 and might not take place at all. Hopkins will meet with his Golden Boy Partners later this week to discuss his future plans but **********.com understands the future hall of famer will not retire before fighting at least once more. Jones and Hopkins were both unavailable for immediate comment. (7:30 PM)"-**********.net

Good i'm glad personally Jones would have won!
But hopkins he is bad-bad-crap now he past his sell by date ages ago no offence i would have loved to have seen it but it wansn't to be i'm afraid so tuff on those who are dissapointed!

Heres an interview with Roy Jones:

"Benny Henderson Jr.: What brought you to small town Texas?

Roy Jones Jr.: I love small towns and I love to be where people don’t normally expect me to be at, just like my boxing career I fought in places where people never thought I would go. I want to give the small town people the chance to witness all what goes on too. Everybody goes to Las Vegas, everybody goes to Houston and Dallas, but nobody comes to Tyler so that is where I want to go.

BH: You know you have the Hopkins match coming up…

RJ: (Breaking in) Maybe.

BH: It isn’t for sure?

RJ: It’s not for sure and I can tell you that now though, I have to sign my name on the line to make it sure and I haven’t seen nothing.

BH: What will make it for sure?

RJ: They just have to make it right, they have to make the contract right, of course I will sign but I am not going to sign on craziness. I mean you think about it and you do the math, how would you feel if you saw myself and Bernard Hopkins about to fight and they come in with a million dollar guarantee, you know what I am saying, and they say ya’ll split that. That is crazy right?

BH: Well me personally I’d take it because I am pretty much poor. (Laughs)

RJ: Oh I understand that, but us in the position that we are in.

BH: You have had an illustrious career with many accolades, what top three accomplishments are you most proud of?

RJ: Ah my career has gone pretty well, it has been wonderful. My whole career, well first off winning the national Golden Gloves, second making the Olympic team and my third was winning the heavyweight title.

BH: What advice would you give to a young fighter?

RJ: Learn the business, stay in shape, stay focused, stay with it, and know that nobody cares about you like you do. You have to take care of yourself.

BH: What have you learned about the business in your seventeen years as a pro?

RJ: (Laughs) Just what I told you, nobody cares about you like you do, so you have to take care of yourself.

BH: When people look back a hundred years from now what do you want them to say about Roy Jones?

RJ: I wouldn’t really care what they said about Roy Jones, you know what I mean.

BH: How would you define your career?

RJ: Wonderful, absolutely wonderful, magnificent, first guy in over one hundred years to come from middleweight to win the heavyweight title, so actually it has to be magnificent.

BH: What are your inspirations in music and boxing?

RJ: My inspiration in music is to produce a platinum album, and that has to be soon before it goes absolute which I think it will because of the internet. I want to be a platinum artist before that happens and in boxing my only thing is that I see three to four fights happening. If the Bernard fight comes off that will be number one, the other two would be Johnson and Tarver. If the Bernard fight doesn’t happen then I will fight a tune up with somebody else then I will fight Johnson and Tarver, and then I am done.

BH: Is there anything you would like to say in closing to the fans?

RJ: I enjoy my fans and I thank them all for the ones who truly supported me, the ones who really care for my truthful wellbeing and I really appreciate all their support. I thank God for people like them because people like them are what made me get up and go on the days that I didn’t want to get up and go. I appreciate all their support and I hope they will continue to support me in the future.

Damn..I actually wanted to see that..

Doesn't really say much about why.

Hmmm...

bubbles, the green bastard, is a *****!

What's another day without the bitter little teen following around his hero?

you're right, an unemployed loser is my hero!

you're right, an unemployed loser is my hero!


You follow me around like an angry little troll every single day. The sooner you admit you have a problem, the sooner you'll be able to move past it.

I'm sure you can do that around your 8th or 9th new account in the year you're going to take off after highschool. :rofl:

you make it sound like it's bad that I'm taking a year off? At least I'm working unlike you, gaming and making gifs all day.

Bnono, thanks for the av. Did you see the Jones interview I posted in here?

I could care less with what you do and plan to do. That's the differnce between you and I.

You come here every day, look for where I've posted, and come in trolling off topic.

That shows what a wounded little teen you are.

When I call you on it, you make things up (due to spite) and ask me questions about myself (due to your obsession).

All it does is illustrate what a loser you are.

Bnono, thanks for the av. Did you see the Jones interview I posted in here?


I did. Sounds like the fights falling apart due to money. Too bad, but the same old story with this fight.

mmmmmhmmmm i haven't made up ****. say what you want but fact: you're constantly online during the day making gifs/posts when you should be doing your job. Either unemployed or doesn't do his job.

Its terrible. Who do you think Roy should fight now?

For ****'s sake....both of these guys are coming off losses and aging...they should be happy with a decent payday since there is not really any other worthwhile fights for them out there...Taylor-Hopkins III? Jones-Tarver IV? First the PBF-Judah fight (although it was great seeing Judah get his ass handed to him) and now this.

This is your same old tiresome tactic.

I point out how you're a bitter little loser for following me around, and you go into repeating made up non sense because (due to spite) you wish to sound insulting.

Again, you fail to do anything except underline what a spitefull little kid you are who likes to follow me around daily (off topic) because you have wounded feelings.

You follow me around like you think I have candy for you.

I thought both quickly agreed to 50/50 because they respected each otehr and thought this fight was for legacy. Frankly, for Bernard to go up 15 pounds, 50/50 was very fair to me. This fight was getting pushed back regardless so its not a big deal yet

No offense but can you guys move this to the Thunderdome. No offense Bnono.

Nobody.

I have all the respect in the world for Roy, but as a fan, I'd like to see him hang them up. He's got nothing left to prove. He's in good health and is wealthy, and his better days are clearly behind him.

Yeah but he wants to fight. So who do you think he should fight?

I really don't know, because I disagree with him fighting anyone.

To a lesser degree, that's like asking me "Evander's going to fight anyway, so who should he fight?"

Jones shouldn't be fighting in my opinion.

I hated the thought of this fight (with Hopkins). I don't think Bernard should be fighting either.

Let me just go on record as saying that in my bet with Superlightweight, he said that Roid would beat Nard.
If they don't fight, Roid does NOT beat Nard ...so SLW has to leave anyway. Right? :D
(C'mon everybody.....I need a groundswell of support on this!)

Do you have a fight he could line up you'd like to see?

RJJ is being a ***** again, he already got a chance to fight Tarver, a trilogy is supposed to be 3 fights, NOT 4!!

I also don't believe he wants to be in with Tarver again after his last performance and for sure not with Johnson!

Sounds like they problem is not the split, but the overall size of the purse. I guess they don't feel the need to fight unless they get some kind big pay day out of it. Personally, I'd like to see them both view this as a sign that they should stop. They were both fantastic fighters, but their time is over, and they should get out while their mental faculties are intact. I mean, I'd love to see both of them come out and give one last good fight, just not against eachother, and I actually don't think there's much of a chance of that happening.

Thank God it's cancelled. This was gonna be the biggest bull**** matchup ever
