Is Hopkins scared to fight Roy Jones again?

[nujabes77]

you need hyppe to make a fight, right now it's not present

hopkins is not scared of roy specially right now, believe it

[Pullcounter]

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.

you're crazy

bhop may be better.. but maybe jones really has his number? maybe he really did have to adjust after going to heavyweight

What do you mean by this? Are you inferring that his move up to HW is still to this day affecting his performance?

Hopkins/Jones makes more sense than Hopkins/Trinidad.

[Silencers]

Doesn't make sense, I think he'd beat Jones pretty easily right now.

LOL, Hopkins afraid of Roy Jones?? Even B-Hop himself said that Jones should just stop, he's a shell of himself..... in that regard I think he'd kill Jones at this point....Jones should stop fighting.

Do you really think he said that because he is doing the right thing and not trying to take advantage of RJJ's legacy or that it wouldn't be a credible challenge? Or does it have more to do with him not making as much money as he would like to off of Jones, and a win now over Jones would do very little in the eyes of many?

[Abstraction]

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

Who said this?

It's only don king that is coming out with it, Hopkins has note even said anything.

Besides, it's Roy Jones who said he is not "intrested" in facing Hopkins, and it's Roy Jones who has messed up negotiations everytime.

He seems to incline to facing D-Level opposition like Lacy.

Wow man, some people on these boards just dont have a clue
