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.

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.

that sounds like words coming from a brothers keeper as opposed to a nemesis

i thought that it was fair and honest, and although it might hurt roy and his fans a bit, it's true, every word.
hopkins is being classy by not going after roy. i think hopkins would kill him in the ring and i said that for a looong time now, even before the tito fight, which i thought was a bull**** fight anyway......

Originally posted by RJJ The Truth View PostHe looked pretty good in spots from the first 6 rounds. but I've seen all of Roy's fights going back to the Olympics against guys like Frankie Liles, and his reflexes are shot now. He looked like a dead fighter for the last 6 rounds. Hes just deteriorated in every way...his speed, reflexes, footwork etc. its sad really.
I gotta say in the lead up to the fight I said Jones was pretty much done but the one thing that did surprise me was how much speed he has lost. That **** hit me like a brick. I was sitting there next to my brother and we were just like "holy ****, Roy is actually SLOW now".
