They're both coming off their best performances in years. And it's amazing that they can still be in the shape that they are in physically. It's gotta happen again.
Couple notes on the Lacy fight...
Lacy was too damn slow for Roy, and Roy made him slower by attacking the body early. Them body shots in the first part of the fight were debilitating. Jeff was clearly impaired by those shots.
Can someone make me a .gif of Roy doing them funny looking hopping uppercuts on Jeff, that shit had me rolling.
My wife was disgusted with Roy's semi-disrespectful antics during the fight.
Both are too much of a cherry picker to even fight each other. Hopkins will continue fighting tailor made opponents or/and that are coming up over 10+pounds. Jones on the other hand will start showboating against slow dudes like he did the cops and trash collectors in his prime.
Be careful Chicano. You are hurting the dude's feelings that posts on here under the name of BernardHopkins with no space between the first and last name. Why would Hopkins be cherry picking if he chose another opponent besides Roy Jones? And I mentioned earlier that Paul Williams may get first dibs on B-Hop if he beats Pavlik and if Adamek and B-Hop don't fight each other. Now that obviously does not look like the case since the Pavlik-Williams fight is postponed.
I couldn't agree with you more. But big head Roy and big head Bernard will never agree on a purse split. Instead they wanna go and fight the Greens and Adameks of boxing.
You all are 40+ years old already. Now is the time, lets see it happen, take a 50/50 split and give the fans the long awaited rematch.
I'd rather see Hopkins vs. Dawson. The Jones rematch wouldn't even be interesting. Bernard would rough-house RJJ all night. What makes people think that Roy has ne thing left? Because of the fight against Lacy?
:crackhead
Ideally a rematch, if it's gonna happen, happens right now. But both guys got other plans anyway.

It won't be worth much now. If Hopkins fights Adamek he will beat his ass in style and pick up the ring belt and IBF title, and if Roy beats Green they could unify in a money fight. Sadly Roy would not be too competitive now.
Cosign homey. At LHW, I think RJ got a better chance of beatin Bhop, but I'd still pick Bhop to win there too.

Don't see why he wouldn't outside of purse issues
Adamek has the most favourable style plus the greatest legacy boost of all B-Hop's potential opponents
I agree with all that completely.
but last time I heard, Hopkins lowballed Adamek. offered him only like 500,000 or something. dont know why, dont know if its true. just what I read.
When this fight was first on the table, I thought that you kind of priced yourself out with the way the stories on the boxing sites put it. But you deserve credit for coming back to the table to make it happen. And the funny thing is, that if it fell apart right now, it would appear to be Adamek's fault because he is talking about moving up to Heavyweight and fighting Golota. Who would be interested in that fight besides the Polish crowd? Uuuugh. I take it he may be using that route to try to squeeze more money out of you and your camp?
umm... is that really Hopkins posting???
Right now Richard is trying to finalize the Adamek fight.

What exactly? Outside of a Joe rematch he dont have nothing pressing. The ademak fight is ok, but I doubt i'd buy it. I even heard HBO wasn't interested awhile back. Whats the problem with a world class HBO P-P-V with Jones now?
Adamek wouldn't be a PPV. It would also mean a lot more than beating the ghost of Roy Jones.
Jones is done, and LMAO at the scrub saying Hopkins gets stopped by Adamek, the same guy who was given a boxing lesson by the only semi slick guy he faced.
you guys do know how lousy of a fight that would be, right?
its not like the first fight was a barn burner itself...
if Hopkins wants to add to his legacy, he may as well go after Adamek, but Im not sure he wants that fight

You can never say never in boxing but i doubt we will ever fight again.
What are you going to do if you can't get a fight with Adamek? Are you going to fight Paul Williams if he beats Pavlik? I don't think the Dawson-Johnson winner will be able to fight you in January since their rematch is in November.
I'd rather he fight Jones Jnr than Johnson
But I doubt Johnson will beat Dawson and I would prefer B-Hop - Dawson to B-Hop - Jones Jnr
Hopkins - Adamek is my ideal cherry-on-top for Bernard but for some reason I just can't see it happening
Like who????? Dawson?
getting KTFO at CW by Adamek?
For starters, you believe he'll get K.O'd by Adamek, thats a start. Or winner of Dawson vs Johnson, I'd much perfer that then watching RJJ get knocked out.
