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

[street bully]

hope it does, roy wins too.

The fight won't happen, but if it did Roy Jones could get seriously hurt, other that semi-quick hands Roy has nothing left, and his legs are completely gone.

hopkins would knock him out and actually live up to his name as the executioner

Nah no KO's in this fight.. UD win either way IMO

[hishaam15]

If they fight hope they fight to a draw and both retire ATG's

I honestly think that Roy would have no chance in hell of winning this fight in any way. FFs Hopkins is probably the best LHW currently and I can name you a bunch of top 10 LHWs that would knock Roy out.

Doubt wel see a KO, but yeh i gotta agree at this stage Hopkins takes it...

I don't see Hopkins presing a KO against Roy, there's far too much respect between the two for either man to want to KO the other.

But Roy's too gunshy nowadays, and Hopkins is still pretty damn fast and accurate. I'd say a 117-111 or 116-112 UD would be the most likely outcome, in favor of Hopkins.

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?

its possible but not probable.

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.

I wouldn't mind seeing the fight, but I agree with this post in that the money could be much better spend putting a card full of younger fighters in good matchups kind of like what we have on 3/7 and should end up happening on 4/25 with the Golden Boy and Top Rank BAD cards.

jones beats hopkins.

calzaghe beating jones easier than hopkins doesnt mean ****, jones threw more, landed more and landed at a higher % than hopkins did against calzaghe and he didnt use fouling tactics or clinching, jones just couldnt stop calzaghe coming.

jones is quicker than hopkins by far, has just as good accuracy, better power, reflexes. he beats hopkins now and any other time in the past.

[ИATAS]

At this point of Hopkins' career, he only takes fights that really motivate him. Tarver, Winky, Calzaghe, Pavlik.....all fights in which hopkins had something to prove, and in all of those fights besides winky was the underdog. A fight with Jones at this point does nothing for hopkins.

I just dont see it. Maybe if Jones was more competitive against Joe, but the beating he took all bloodied up like that, I think Hopkins passes on this and he should.

when was the last time hopkins seriously hurt anyone?

jones has recovered from the johnson and tarver fights now and if calzaghe couldnt seriously hurt him throwing 1000 odd punches then hopkins wont with 400 ish.
