I believe after that both of their careers set off on different paths. Especially when Jones beat Toney after that their careers were off the same path.

I wouldn't necessarily call it a duck since Roy was at 175 and Hopkins stayed at 160. But I will say that Hopkins tried to act like he wanted to fight Roy again but kept comin up with bullcrap such as the fight should be 50/50 as far as the purse when Hopkins brought nothing to the table, Roy was the draw, and Roy saying 60/40 was more then generous IMO

Also there could be more to the story than a simple 60/40 split. Hopkins had said in an interview when he got the contract it would have been much less than 60/40. Hopkins was screwed the first time they fought by his manager who pocketed $700,000 for himself so no doubt Hopkins wouldnt have accepted the short end of the stick again. In his mind he was worth more than that.Last edited by ИATAS; 02-16-2013, 06:05 PM.
