I dont think bernard looked that good against winky whereas Roy looked like he had the hunger again in his last fight. I say Roy exposes bernard's age for the first time.
Thoughts?

HAHAHAHA.
Sorry, Roy Jones is almost Gatti like right now. No chance against Hopkins.
The fact that Roy wouldn't finish the guy in his last fight really tells me he's not in any position to beat any of the better fighters in the sport, he was more interested in posturing instead of finishing the fight.
I thought RJj fought Glen too early after getting KTFO'd. Basically RJj got dominated...Glenn fought the right fight by jumping on him from the get. Cant argue that.:no:
Roy's handlers really fucked him in his string of losses. Between gaining and losing so much muscle and hastily taking fights after a crushing losses he had no shot to be the boxer he is.
Sure thing homie
too funny, but if thats the way you see those fights, fair enough. Can i now hear your explanation of the Glen Johnson fight?

At this stage in there carriers i would go with Hopkins on points. I didnt think the Hopkins vs Wright fight was as bad as most say it was. Sure not a great fight or anything close to that, simply it was what most thought it would be with two defensive fighters against each other.
However something that did surprise me in the fight was that Hopkins showed better stamina, and looked freasher at the end. He threw more punches then i thought he would and Winky was the one that was getting tire in the later rounds. If Hopkins can put more pressure early, and avoid to clinche i think Roy wont be able to keep up with him in the later rounds. Roy may be more talent then Bernard, but the old man is ring smart, and fights better in rematches most of the times.
what is there not to hate on a bitch like Hopkins, he cant box, he cant fight,(anymore, in his prime he was good) he thinks his legacy is big even though it is based on victories opver a merely decent mw divison and 3 blown up welters-super welters....and to top that up he is a fucking lightheavyweight that was too afraid of moving up in weight and give up his size advantage against the likes of jones, toney and calzaghe for 10 years...
IMO his only decent wins are Tito and Tarver...
and in top of that, he totally ducked jones for 10 years ans now calls him out when jones is coming of bad times....and tries to get money he doesnt deserve... fuck hopkins.....
and what is worse is that i think if he had fought at 160-168-175, he wouldve beat anyone but clazaghe toney and jones, but he was just a big fish in a small pond...he wouldve made himself an better legacy if he had fought calzaghe, toney and jones...because i do think in his prime hopkins was a good fighter...
i think your opinion is obviously based on a dislike of Hopkins. I think you are wrong and Hopkins would retire Roy. How many light heavies could come down to 170 and make Winky look like he was never a p4p guy. You dont like the rough house tactics, i read your posts in other threads but this is boxing not some pussy sport and if a guy cant get rough back thats a mental weakness or a skill set he dont got. Inside fighting is rough, watch guys who are good at it and you will see Hopkins executed that part very well. Winky was used to keeping distance and controlling with his jab, I dont think I ever seen him with a rough inside Fighter before maybe thats his one weakness. Watch most guys at or around Light heavy and you quickly realize most dont have an inside fight game. If they do they cant change it up at the drop of a hat and move/box like Hopkins also did. That in itself was very hard for Winky to get his rhythm going but remember Winky let Hopkins inside or Hopkins worked his way in and then Winky decided to hold a lot and cry instead of trying to fight harder or move back laterly firing the jab. You can bet one thing if Hopkins and Jones got together he would have a completely different plan in store for Roy, only with the same results.
hahaha....thats a great post man..
Kind of like how katsidis tooled amonkol but looked like he got beat with the back end of a shovel for 20 minutes...
Word...funny you bring up Katsidis.
1st time watching him in that fight...I fell asleep :sleeping: cuz I got to drinking on a empty stomach @ a hot and sunny hip hop festival. I wake up a few rounds before its over and I'm like: "Gaaaahd dam this guy is getting hemmed up...look @ those cuts!" Then I watch a few minutes and I'm like seeing the light...haha.:tapedshut

AMEN! I am glad that I am not the only one who seess the true facts. Fact is that Roy kicked Hopkins ass in an easy fight. (one that Roy basically fought one handed because the other was injured) . I am soooo tired of hearing the excuses for Bhop! RJJ has always been the better of the two and he still is. And I dont want to hear that Bullshit that Hopkins was still too young when they fought. Roy was young too! Hopkins has always avoided Roy like the plague. Yeah, he really wanted a rematch, so he asked for a 50-50 split aginst the champ who had already kicked his ass! Yall musta forgot!
Add these up for me. RJj loses 25+/lbs of muscle...not fat in 3 months and still whipped Tarvers ass the 1st time. RJj just didnt knok him out. If RJj doesnt look 200% its a suspect decision or even loss.
I was banging guys out like crazy in the 90's on the street. Got into a war w/a big dude while I was drunk...I won but he got a kick to my eye and my eye was fucked. Only shot the guy landed during the course of the night. Cuz I didnt knock him out there was talk I lost.
RJj was whipping his ass in part 2 and got caught. Part 3 I had much closer then the cards did. Tarver had 2 good rounds and fought the last 30 seconds of the rounds. Thats not how fights are won. It was the industry selling out on Jones that got Tarver the win. Alot of people thought SSM beat Wink the 2nd time around too.
Point is when your undefeated and people expect certain things from you and the 1st time your not 200% its almost a total wrap. People are dum.
For the longest time people, even the guys in the know, thought RJj was done. Then its clear Tarver got a lucky punch. Manny Steward even said it to Tarvers face the week after RJj.Tarver too that it was a lucky punch. Not in those words, verbatim...but dam close.
good post rjj forever
Everybody has a kryptonite. roy's is Tarver. B-Hop's is Roy and Jermaine Taylor or anyone w/ amazing handspeed. Shane Mosley's is Vernon Forrest and Winky Wright. There's always a pair of fighters; that if they fought each other 100 times, the outcome will be the same. Jones-Tarver 1 Gift Decison my ass. Dumbass Donatopulla. Get the 20 inch dildo out ya ass, ya ***got ass hater.
jermain taylor sucks ass i hate that bumb
both hopkins and winky looked old but winky was slow because of the weight hopkins was just slow and old he looked good aginst tarver age just caught up with him the fight aginst winky was painful to watch roy is looking good he beat the young boy hanshaw he would kill hopkins right now

Well that's interesting, because he stopped Tarver in his tracks repeatedly with power shots. How did Roid Jones do??

It's amazing how many Roy huggers and Nard haters there are. I like both fighters, always have, but there is NO WAY Roy beats Nard now. He only landed one shot at a time WHEN HE THREW at Hanshaw, and he is a guy with poor D who standed in front of him the whole time. ROy was doing jack shit 85% of that fight, just staying on the ropes with his hands up. He has 0 foot speed and movement, and Bernard still has plenty. All Roy offensively was throw one shot at a time in the middle of the ring, and he was barely ever there. He is easy work for Hopkins now.
I dont think bernard looked that good against winky whereas Roy looked like he had the hunger again in his last fight. I say Roy exposes bernard's age for the first time.
Thoughts?
I think RJj has Bhops #. Bop showed signs of age against Wink iMo...I concur. Funny, there were times in that fight I thought: "RJj would still beat him. He does alot of things that he did vs Roy still."
Tarver looked like shit that night and you know it. He had to lose major weight from that Rocky movie. What you couldn't see how flat Tarver was that night. Both fighters(RJJ&B-Hop) had equal experience when they fought, Hopkins had a fight more. Both fighters fought subpar competition b4 that. Your biased ass won't acknowledge that. RJJ has beaten much more and better fighters than Hopkins: Sosa, Malinga, Pazienza, Mcallum, Griffin, Gonzalez, Tellesco, Toney, Ruiz(it's amazing he could even beat a HW at the least), B-Hop wasn't P4P king as long as Roy was there, not even when Mosley was there neither. Who was named fighter of the decade? Who didn't lose a round for 4 years? Who went an entire round w/o getting hit? Certainly not B-Hop. Now don't get me wrong, B-Hop is definitely one of the best Middleweights of all time but, that's it. He can't fight any of the big LHW on a good night. What's up w/ this roid jones bullshit, has he never been tied to it except that one fight against Richard Hall. There was no difference between him in that fight and his other fights. You don't hear of him on the news being tied to Steroids like Holyfield and Toney.
Tarver was not looking good that night for sure...
I think everybody is missing the point that Roy won a landslide victory over Hopkins already.
dude both of your posts here make alot of sense..GUYS read SHO-NUFFS threads here please. For the record i have nothing but love for both hop and RJJ. In fact i apreciate B hops career more. He had less tools and created a longer and in my mind more prosperous career than Roy. But i just think Roy is still to quick and Hop does not have the power to KO jones.
