only in boxing is it ok for fans to make fun of a mans bloody face as if this is pro wrestling.
Okay, I'm off on holiday after yet another correct boxing pick...

He definitely enjoyed seeing it happen. I think watching Joe pick him apart the way he did, made Bernard really realize that his legacy is greater than Roy's. Despite losing to him 15 years ago.Comment

...Agreed.
When it's all said and done, Hopkins can say that he's never been knocked out and he's never taken a beating.Comment

agree 1000%You were right on the pick,but this thread is way distasteful. Being a boxer or a fan, you should pay Jones some respect. He reinvented exciting boxing while Joe was fighting scrubs in his Newbridge backyard. This was nothing like the fight that would have happened in Jones' prime. Believe that.
anyways its not so much people thinking he would win.. more so that people wanted him to winComment

I don't care how Roy fans want to slice it. I know they're upset over the Calzaghe loss but facts are facts. Bernard has more stand out names on his record, and even his defeats were by the thinest of margins in split decision losses, never been hurt in over 14 years, never been cut, never been knocked out, dominated the man who dominated Jones 3 times (Tarver), did much better against Calzaghe at 43 than Roy did at 39, etc....
Jones is a legend, and has nothing to be ashamed of but Bernard's persistence and never say die attitude has finally paid off. He's finally laid to rest the ghost of Roy Jones that's been haunting him for the last 15 years.
I pretty much hated Roy until he got KO'd by Tarver and his bandwagoners finally abandoned him. Only recently have I begun to appreciate him as the icon that he is, and I felt pretty damn bad for him last night too. It reminded me of Holmes/Ali.i'm far from Jones' biggest fan, but am i the only one that found it quite sad last night, especially after he got cutComment
