I was browsing boxrec.com and I saw that Roy Jones is fighting none other than Bernard Hopkins?!?! wat the hell??!! is this some kind of mistake? Hopkins is a middleweight and Roy is a light heavy so theres like big difference in weight.. wat is this all about??
I knew about it a few moments after it was announced(Someone on a site immediately told it) Its gonna be a great fight.
Roy will still become the legend he wanted to be. His record is 49 wins. ONE MORE WIN AGAINST A HALL OF FAMER and he's a legend with a perfect 50 wins. People might forget his ko losses then.
nard will land his famous right hand on roy, and we all know it's a serious punch. however, I think Roy can take that shot, plus Roy won't fuck his legacy up by losing to an old man..i favor roy in this fight, mainly because I know he'll train to no extent, like a titan, and when ur in that kinda shape, doesnt matter what type of shot u get hit with your body will instinctually survive unless you get stuck like roy did vs tarver.
getting caught with a hook coming forward, producing all that big leverage (to land that big shot) all turns against you when you get stuck with a hook coming in. jolts the human brain like no other punch in boxing, people say roy had a glass chin but..Castillo must have a glass chin too since a lesser puncher did the same to him (we all know castillos chin is made of uranium)
edit: expect a boring fucking fight if roy takes a big shot early
didnt hopkins come in at 171 unoffcail to the first taylor fight? at 40 years old maybe not having to weight drain at all with help hopkins, u never know he could be even better at 175
We'll see how his two consecutive loses to Taylor factor in.
However, the same could be said about Roy's three consecutive loses, two by the KTFO factor.
It'll be an interesting fight. I won't buy it on PPV though, most likely wait a week or two after when they show it on HBO for free. Heh.
yeah...i guess...it would be nice to see B-Hop leave the fight game with one last KO...even if it is someone who has a bad habit of being knocked the fuck out lately
I understand why thier making this fight happen....
B-hop wants to end his career by fighting the last guy that beat him ( in his mind its roy)
Also who else could they fight and make this much money?
I wont pay a dime to watch it though but i pick B-hop for sure b/c he still has fight left in him

This fight is a JOKE!!
Sweat..
Hopkins and Jones already fought 13 years ago..
The fight was close, but Jones won it with no controversy...
This fight is stupid, more stupid than Mosley-Vargas..
Whats so stupid about Moseley-vs-Vargas?..I want to see that fight.
this fight couldnt have been made at a worse time.
both men are coming off consecutive losses, bernard at the hands of jermain the joke taylor, jones by knockout at the hands of tarver and johnson. both men are on the downsides of their careers. both men are past their prime. both men have NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE and NOTHING LEFT TO GAIN therefore NO INCENTIVE TO WIN (except money).
this fight shouldve been made 2-5 years ago.
i could care less about this fight, or who wins.
I think this post perfectly described Jones-Hopkins. Only suckers will buy this bullshit.
