    Is Hopkins scared to fight Roy Jones again?

    Call me crazy but has just always seemed like B-hop has always made up some bull**** for reasons not to fight Roy Jones again and Roy has always stood behind his words that Hopkins simply doesn't want to fight him? I used to kind of write this off but it's actually making sense now. Hopkins is willing to face Tito in a less lucrative fight even though Jones dismantled him with ease while Bernard claims the fight with Jones was over due to the same kind of lopsided loss to Joe Calzaghe. It just doesn't make sense.

    I am issuing a poll to see who all agrees with me about it seeming like B-hop just don't want any part of Jones, even now. It almost seems like he knows Jones has the style to decisively stifle him. While he could always claim that he beat the other two/three men to have legitimately beat him, he could never make an excuse about the Jones loss.

    Yes, he always seems to get out of the fight once negotiations start.

    No, he was in line to but Jones was beaten by Calzaghe.

      Hopkins wanted to fight Roy if he beat Calzaghe but you saw how that turned out.

          No. There's just no point. Bhop still has good fight left in him. RJ really doesn't.

                I thought so too but whats the excuse for wanting to face Tito now? Because he looked so good in his last outing?

                  Presently it is still a high risk, with a low reward which would have been HUGE a reward few years ago.....so the short answer is yes he is.
