Was his motivation that if he beat roy jones that he was p4p better? i hope not. And the hopkins fight was close and i scored it hopkins.

    I think a rematch would be better. And less grabbing. He's just scared. he's sounding like Roy jones when hopkins wanted a rematch. Saying "i already beat him once, I dont need him, My legacy blah blah blah." sounds like a ***** to me
    I gotta say this:

    Hopkins had no buisness going for 50/50 with the best of his time after he'd already lost to him, that was a publicity stunt to me, hop should have taken the 60/40, but he would have lost, Jones back then was all wrong for hop.

    Now, Hop would finish him, then jones would UD his ass no problem.

      who the hell would want to see this fight again. for a big fight, it was probably the worst I've ever seen. both guys looked like trash and fought like amateurs.

        Real talk.

        I don't mind Pops otherwise (I was rooting for him for the Pavlik fight, was majorly impressed by his absolute schooling of Tito, and really loved that body shot to DLH), and obviously I'm a fan of Calzaghe but when they fought it just didn't go well together. Bad clash of styles. If Calzaghe had lost that SD, I'd definitely not be clamouring for a rematch of that fight - it was really bad. So why do Pops fans want it so much? Don't they like good boxing...?

          Story I heard was that, at the age of only 14, his doctor told him he would never be able to fight again. The injuries are much older than 5 years. It's a wonder how he managed to last until 37 years old in the game.

                Hopkins would have beat Roy from 98-to now. He grew wiser as the years went on. Hopkins has underrated handspeed.
                He started losing CLOSE decisions after he hit 40.

                  No you don't, Plus the guys hands can't hurt to bad or he wouldn't still be wrapping them like some newb with ringside hand wraps and duck tape and then putting on twenty year old broken down gloves! Something tells me this guy is not to bright.
