"JONES-HOPKINS II OFF MARCH 11
By G. Leon
Reliable sources have informed Boxingtalk.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 Boxingtalk.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)"-boxingtalk.net
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
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.
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!)
sounds fair.
RJJ is being a bitch 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!

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.
He shouldn't be fighting in my opinion either.
Yeah but he wants to fight. So who do you think he should fight?

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.

Its terrible. Who do you think Roy should fight now?
Nobody.

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

mmmmmhmmmm i haven't made up shit. 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.

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

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

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.
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.
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:
