Hopkins: I destroy careers, take fighters souls:

I ain't saying he has ZERO chance coz anything can happen in a boxing fight but it's very unlikely.
Roy can't move his feet anymore, can't be as fast for 12 rounds. Plus he has a weak chin. RJJ can only show glimpses of his old days. On the other hand, Hopkins is just coming off one of the 2 best performances of his career against the best middleweight in the world. Hopkins looked even faster and more agressive than he did in previous fights.
Hopkins 70% and RJJ 30%: those are their chances in this matchup.
Well then it isnt delussional to see Roy possibly winning the fight.
People gave Tarver LESS than 30% of a chance to beat Roy in the rematch.
Your opinion is delussional.
Of course Roy has a chance against a 45 yr old Bernard Hopkins.
Only a moron would say Roy has ZERO chance of beating 45 yr old Bernard Hopkins.

You're delusional if you think Roy is still a top fighter, if you think Roy has a chance againsy Hopkins and if you think he should still fight.
ODLH was right when he said RJJ should retire.

Please explain how I am delussional.

Don't get vexed, i threw you as an example to put the emphasis on how RJJ's rep has gone. Only his fanatics still care about him.
Nobody wants to see his old ass gettin beaten up again, Roy is delusional like all of you. Glen Johnson, Tarver, Adamek or Hopkins would all stop him.
Please explain how I am delussional.
Thats where Bhops is wrong..
1. The public is more interested than Bhop vs Roy, than Bhop vs Adamek
nah, i'd rather watch hop/adamek
2. He's terrified at the possibility of Roy having a damn good chance at winning. And another loss to Roy at this point would mos def tarnish his legacy
nah, he's not scared.
That is all
sure is
dont throw me in your shit ass post.

And winning against Roy wouldn't do anything but avenge a loss on record, hence his point is right. I doubt he is affraid of losing to Roy but the risk/reward ratio is ridiculous. Not only that but Roy doesn't wanna take 40% and wants the winner to get 60%.
If you're a Roy fan you can say Hopkins is in the way of the fight not happening, but imo Roy is. Agree to the 40% and if B-Hop still don't want it, then you gotta point.
I wouldn't consider that avenging a lose, no way.

RJJ can stick to fighting the Sheika and Lacys of boxing or step up his opposition a notch. RJJ is past it and an elite fighter like B-Hop shouldn't waste his time, I wouldn't even call that avenging a lose. B-Hop could atleast get a title at 168 and C.W, continue to add on to his legacy.
This fight is long overdue, they faught in 93 I was 4 at the time, I'm freaking 20 right now! RJJ has been past his prime for 7 years. This does nothing for B-Hop's career. People are talking about, this a fight both can retire on but let me ask you this ; is it B-Hop that needs to retire or is it Roy? B-Hop has 3 options, more important then facing RJJ, that being Adamek, a title at 168 or facing the winner of Johnson vs Dawson.
Which public are you talking about? Pensacola public? Reedickyaluss? RJJ's sons?
RJJ couldn't sell the MGM at this point, anybody who knows about boxing would be excited by Hopkins-adamek for all the good reasons..

At this point Roy would be lucky to get 40% after his Calslappy performance..
Bernard arguably beat Calslappy.. You dont get 60% just because he beat a shot Lacy
