Bernard Hopkins: “Roy Jones Will Be My Final Fight”

[Pullcounter]

Speaking with BoxingScene.com’s Jose “OnFire” Aguirre, Bernard Hopkins, at age 43, says that he is finally starting to get tired of fighting. The only thing that can motivate him to fight again is facing the winner of Roy Jones Jr. vs. Joe Calzaghe, scheduled for November 8. [details]

the only way we might see Calzaghe/Hopkins II is if Calzaghe loses to RJJ, which I doubt happens. RJJ is shot.

That said, our only hope is that RJJ saw the Hopkins fight and decides to let his hands go instead of potshotting.

RJJ/Hopkins II might happen, but only after RJJ gets another win down the line.

Man! Your avatar pic gets me every time! I get stunned and just stare at that gorgeous face and those supple , round breasts for minutes until i finally snap out of it. Who is that, btw?

Keeley Hazell.

I hate the idea of this fight and love it at the same time.

Hate it because it forces me to root against B-Hop. Love it because it will be a good show even now...

bhop vs jones 2 ten years in the making

''Its been since 93 baby!'' - B-Hop.

Can you imagine how could the 24/7 series would be for this fight?

This needs to happen one way or another.

[MMA sucks!!]

lets see how shot RJJ is when he whoops cal-slappys ass. people keep saying roy is too old cause he's 39, well joe is no spring chicken either, he's 36 almost 37

Don't worry. HBO will figure that and will buy the judges so RJJ gets the decision if this doesn't end by knockout.

I'd like to see B-Hop and Roy fight one last time.

that would be the perfect ending....calzaghe says "this is it, no hopkins rematch.."

so i'd love to see roy KO calzaghe, or just beat the **** outta him, doesn't matter, and then we get the hopkins-rjj fight next year, and calzaghe rides off into the sunset on a LOSS......

calzaghe loses this fight, there definitely won't be a calzaghe-hopkins II. hopkins makes it a point to beat the guy-who beat the guy, who beat him....

w/ rj, hopkins will be able to do that, and also avenge the defeat to jones 15 yrs. ago.......the last fight he actually lost........you can't dream for a better ending, if you're hopkins.

Roy is STILL to fast and equally as crafty as Hopkins. The speed will discourage Hopkins and the workrate will not effect Roy at all. Roy wins a UD with no problem after having peppered Hopkins throughout the fight. Now he needs to solidify that by impressively beating JC....
