    Suprise!! Suprise!! Contract Problems With Roy Jones Jr. And Bernard Hopkins...

    "ROY JONES JR: "BERNARD USES DE LA HOYA AS THE FRONT MAN TO F**K YOU. HE'S CUTE, BUT I DON'T DO DUDES!"
    By G. Leon

    Jones-Hopkins II on the verge of collapse!


    Shortly after the clock struck twelve ********** received a call from former pound for pound king Roy Jones Jr, who informed us that his potential mega-fight with Bernard Hopkins is in serious jeopardy following Team Hopkins making Jones a take it or leave it offer. "We (Lou DiBella and Roy Jones Jr)started the talks and he wanted to show us where they were coming from so I said okay, let's talk. We talk and we work on a few things, I had some ideas and I told him how I wanted to do this and he was cool with it and he said, 'Roy, I just want to work with you.' I said alright, and then Schaefer and them sent the contract and we're looking at it and there was a lot of things that we had to change and they said they weren't going to change anything, they didn't want to make any changes. It's like I told you before, I knew there was going to be some bull**** involved and that's why I didn't get excited about it. To be real with you, I haven't even started training yet because I knew something like this was going to happen." Read on to see what the offer was, but based on the way RJ was dropping F-Bombs during this must read interview, saying he's pissed would be an understatement.

    Shocking.

    Could be for the best, though, if Hopkins ends up fighting Calzaghe or Winky in July instead...

      Exactly. A RJJ vs B-Hop fight is worth nothing, realistically, on the world stage. It would only be for curiosity value, and at this stage in Hopkins' career I think he needs the biggest fights and ONLY the biggest fights against the best fighters. Roy Jones doesnt fit that bill any more, I'm afraid.

        Why waste your time with this ****. A fight now would prove nada unless RJJ dominates Hopkins I guess.

          Roy has no choice but to take take-it-or-leave-it deals if we wants to fight anyone with a name at this point...

          I'm thinking he'd rather just talk

              Who is Roy going to fight? If Hopkins fights JC. Could it be Jones Vs. Tarver 4??? I can't wait.
