    He put that in quite a nice way. Well done Bernard.

    Roy should become a promoter.
    Agreed.

    Hopkins has said a lot of things but he is completely right about this in my opinion.

        Roy was superman for 14 years. He just fought on too long. Something he said he wouldn't do, but thats what happens in boxing. Stay retired Floyd. Although I think Floyd retired a little too soon. hes only 31.

          If he thought the same thing from the Tito fight then by that standard he wouldn't have been calling him out for a fight. He favoured him over Joe from seeing the Tito fight and losing to Calzaghe based on power largely which Roy landed. So he's contradicted himself a little.

          I think Hopkins is reasonable enough however, and fairly respectable as he has been somewhat more for the past few months. He seems a changed man actually, quite an inspiring guy in the past few months in and out of the ring.

          He is a tad harsh on Roy, he didn't look that bad. He may well be exaggerating to extra justify not facing him or encourage a retirement, plus undermining Joes win.

          But all in all not **** talking, I guess realising both guys are respectably coming to their end.

            THis shows Bernard's real colours. The man deserves respect.

            I really really really hope Roy retires.

              Way to go Hops.

              And it's not for the media. After the fight Hopkins went into Roy's dressing room and told him the same thing. Wish I was there for that. Anyway, he's right. Jones looked bad...real bad. Call it a day, Roy.

                The style of fighting that Floyd has is similar to Hopkins. Both are selective offensively and defensively solid. Floyd could fight for several more years without having to fold because of physical drop off.

                      Green K for Hopkins...

                      Superman needs to take off the cape and put on a tie.
