How About Hopkins - Jones One More Time ?

as a fan of hopkins i would love to see this fight but at this stage in jones career its not the best move for him to make

In a word....Why? Two words...Who Cares? Three words...No Freakin' Way. Four Words...I don't think so! Five Words...I ain't payin for it! :cool:

thats enough out of hopkins. he should go out on top with a win.

Jones is washed up, but some of you make it sound like he's retarted or something. He was afraid to get hit against Tarver in the 3rd fight. I'd like to see how he would do fighting Bernard fearless and putting his legacy on the line just like Bernard did. If Jones still has a good chin then I don't believe he will get KTFO. roy jones isn't like bernard hopkins. roy has already suffered serious knockouts and it's been said a million times on this forum, but the qualities that made roy great have been diminishing for the past few years and are now all but gone. it's also highly unlikely that roy would go all out like your describing, because he hasn't done it since the second montell fight.

If you saw Jones's last three fights, why would you think he still has a good chin? With his diminished skills, he's only going to get hurt. He needs to hang it up.

True......I also wanted to add that Hopkins would have KOed Taylor had he fought as aggressively as he did against Tarver. Ditto, bro. If Hops didn't wait till the 4th or 5th to get aggressive against Taylor, he'd still be undisputed. Now Can U Dig Dat!!!!!!!!!!!! :boxing:

It takes a Big Man to admit when he has to eat Crow, respect 2 ya, Neverlast. At the end of the fight when Hopkins was talking to Larry Merchant, he mentioned that if he were to fight again after this, No rematch with RJJ, & I agree. You've got to remember all the times, even after Hopkins took Trinidad's title, that he asked, tried to negotiate, a rematch with Roy, & Roy played himself each & errr time with the percentages, & stipulations that needed to be put inplace for Roy to even consider a fight. Since then Roy been KO'd twice(Tarver & Johnson), & defeated twice by the same clown dat got clowned by B-Hop. I'd give Roy a rematch giving him 10% of the take, if he refuses, screw'em, he a bum & a steppin' stone now anyway, No Renegotiation. Now Can U Dig Dat!!!!!!!! :boxing:

He should retire, no reason for him to fight anymore, hes already done it all. True......I also wanted to add that Hopkins would have KOed Taylor had he fought as aggressively as he did against Tarver.

HOW ABOUT HOPKINS - JONES ONE MORE TIME ? Bernard Hopkins put on a boxing clinic the other night. He totally outclassed Antonio Tarver to become the best light heavyweight in the world. I picked Tarver. I had no doubt Antonio was going to win. I'll take a little ketchup with my crow please... Thank you. Man was I ever wrong ! Props to Bernard. He proved to me and many others that he is an all time great. That was just a performance for the ages. Bernard said that was his last fight. If it is please hand him his admission slip to the Boxing Hall Of Fame. First ballot...you bet ! BUT...If Bernard wants to have one more fight, there is only one logical opponent. His name is Roy Jones Jr. Why ? It's called unfinished business. Bernard has been calling Roy out for years. Now he is " The Man " at Roy's weight of 175. If Roy wins his upcoming fight, why not have Jones - Hopkins II ? For Roy there ia a big revenge factor. If he beats Bernard he finally proves his first win was no fluke. Second, in a round about way a win over Bernard would slightly erase the losses Roy had to Tarver. This would be a BIG $$$ draw. Bernard may want to consider this. I'm for it........ :boxing:

I dont think Hopkins will drop 15 pounds and get in the ring with Taylor again. He lost to him twice already, i dont think a third time is necessary. he knows he won thats why he wont, didnt you see the fight

I don't want to see Roy Jones Jr. suffer any more damage in the ring. The two knockouts were awful and he barely survived the last fight with Tarver. The only good matchup for Hopkins would be Calzaghe. But that looks like a bigger risk for less glory. I think he'll hang up the gloves for good.

pointless fight, bernard has bigger and better things to move on to IE Taylor or Calzaghe I dont think Hopkins will drop 15 pounds and get in the ring with Taylor again. He lost to him twice already, i dont think a third time is necessary.

I'd actually like to see this one even though Hopkins seems so much better at this point in his career.

I seen 5 rounds of tarver v. hopkins then just finished seeing the highlights on youtube and its very funny, this is the same old bernard hopkins that everybody hated, now he beats trinidad and delahoya and his boring style becomes exciting, LOL! I guess when you beat two hall of famers who were great no matter your style peopel will get behind you from their on, another example winky wright, borring ass style now he is an exciting fighter, LOL! But props to them both, its just funny as hell to remember how people used to talk about these fighters and now to hear how they praise them is funny as hell. As to the topic.....seeing as how the crowd was hollering and clapping at hopkins boxing tarver i guess the paying public wouldn't mind seeing another -borring as fight betweeen- hopkin and jones jr. but if hopkins were to fight again, if hes still on a legacy high, then his next fight should be against joe calzaghe, but seeing the reaction from the crowd to hopkin v. tarver im sure they'd probably pay to see another boxing match.

yeah, it's better for everyone in boxing if this is just left alone..

Jones is out of his already braindamaged mind if he would ever consider fighting Hopkins again. I had Roy winning 7 of the 12 rounds of their first fight but it was still a very close fight. Age couldn't have had more opposite effects on both fighters. The years of gaining and losing weight and trying to dominate several weightclasses at once took it's toll on Roy Jones Jr and he now looks very much his age in the ring. On the flipside you have Bernard Hopkins who stayed at middleweight for most of his career and only got better and better as time went by. At 41 Hopkins appears to be in the best condition of his life and the added weight gives him even more power. Jones would sooner play Antonio Tarver in a game of Russian Roulette than get in the ring with Hopkins again, he'd KO Roy in within 3 rounds and put him in the fastlane to becoming just like Muhammed Ali. only thing roy fought with was youth when your a technical fighter you can fight for ever look at toney hopkins hearns kosta lennox. then next roy jones is chad dawson when he gets older he will be nothing

Definatly don't want to see it. Both of them need to retire.
