    Is Bernard Hopkins Vs Roy Jones Jr II still a possibility?

    I know B-Hop said it wouldnt happen after Jones near shutout loss to Calzaghe but I was looking at his wikipedia profile today and its probably bull**** but I read this at the end...


    The Longawaited Rematch

    After recently retired Joe Calzaghe declined a rematch with Hopkins, the opportunity for a rematch with the former pound for pound king Roy Jones Jr. came knocking on his door. Provided that Jones wins his fight against Omar Sheika, there will be a rematch that will take place in the summer of 2009. On February 6, 2009, Bob Arum stated, "The rematch between Roy Jones Jr. and Bernard Hopkins has been in the making for the past 15 years and will be the fight of the century."

    Is there a chance Bernard Will go back on his word and take a fight with Roy(Just like Calzaghe) thus disregarding his prior statement?

    I hope not. I rather have the PPV slot or WBC slot and money go to other figthers in their primes or a loaded BAD card.

        Anything is possible in boxing, but Hopkins remains firm in not wanting to capitalize on Roy's decline. Bernard is not actively pursuing any fight, including Roy, at this point in time.

              It won't happen. But if it did, make no mistake about it, Hopkins would tax that ass.
