    jones jr vs hopkins sells way more pay per views thans hopkins fighting dawson and adamek combined.
    You're right, the money lies with Jones. The fight would be huge and would generate a ****load of money for both guys.

    Hopkins main concern doesn't seem to money. He is all about his legacy so in that regard, Adamek is the main choice. Even though he'd make the most money fighting Roy, beating a washed up Jones doesn't do much for his legacy. He might be full of **** in saying that but if he's not, I could see why he'd go with Adamek.

      Yes, because we all know Glenn is a stylistic nightmare.... Ffs the man admitted in an interview that Hopkins is all wrong for him.

        Adamek would be a harder fight than dawson imo.

          Thats just it. Neither of them really need anymore money. But are hard headed in the sense of who will get more. Roy sees it as, I beat this guy how am I jsut going to give he 60%. and nard sees it, I deserve 60%. Roy offers alternative of winner taking 60%, nard wants no part of it.. b!tch move kinda..

            I would like to see him take Adamek's title and further improve on an already sublime career or defeat Jones and make up for that early blemish on his career

                Tbh with you Hopkins has always been for legacy. This is why he refused to ever be a fighter that would be the promotional property of a promoter and be told who to fight even if that meant more money.

                  You gotta consider that he could fight Adamek or Dawson and still fight Jones Jnr afterwards, even if he lost previously.
