Roy Jones Jr Vs. Bernard Hopkins

[Pullcounter]

This is a 50/50 fight purse wise.

then RJJ shouldn't even be bothering bhop.

Bernard is on crack if he thinks he should be making more than Roy.

why would RJJ wanna fight a crack head for?

Roy is beloved, Bernard is not.

Hops is relevant, RJJ is not.

Except by evil people like street bully.

and most boxing fans.

so why didn't nard take the 40% jones offered when jones was on top and put that overinflated ego of his in check...

dunno, but bhop is offering rjj the same offer rjj gave bhop. pay back is a *****.... what goes around comes around... etc...

outside of that heist job him and de la hoya pulled a couple of years ago, he would have cashed a bigger check than he did fighting eastman, robert allen 24, and that barnburner with morrade hakkar...

that's why bhop ain't fighting RJJ for 40/60.

works both ways b

yep, RJJ needs to accept the same offer he gave to BHop when RJJ was on top.

What am I supposed to do? Defend every single post that Roy fans make?


As of right now the forum is full to the ceiling with Roy bashing in at least 7 different active threads...

So ta ta

I wasn't asking you to defend anything, son.

You were taking a jab at Hopkins fans who make excuses when Bernard has a close loss.

So I took a jab at Roy fans who made excuses when Roy got his lights turned out.

Just pointing out that it works both ways.

You don't have to "defend" anything.

[Jiddu Dali]

Those guys are elites. Tell me the last elite fighter Jones beat.

Roy would KO WINKY and Pavlik & Taylor...he wouldnt HUG them to death

[djtmal]

When did I make an excuse?

I've said on here several times that Roy was the better man that night.

Straight up ; he had Bernard's number.

But you can't sit there and say that Roy didn't have an edge in experience, even slightly.

Because then you're lying.

Keep it real, and keep it honest.

on the real they had different styles, but were evenly matched in size, talent, etc. they were number 1 and 2 contenders for a middleweight strap, and were both on somewhat of a collision course to meet to see who was the best...jones won the fight because he was the better man...bottom line....its irrelevant if jones even had a slight edge in experience...so please don't try to make it seem like jones had twice as many pro fights as nard or some garbage ass excuse that somebody who wasn't even born or never watch a boxing match in the 90's starts repeating....

now if you want a good example of somebody being green, pop in nard vs. taylor 1 and 2. we all know how those turned out....

[bojangles1987]

Seriously, the Roy Jones bashing is out of hand. Sane fans know he is not the same fighter, he probably loses to Hopkins unless Bernard becomes washed up overnight, and his days as a top level fighter have been over since the Ruiz fight.

The way people talk though, he is and has always been a bum that never fought anyone other than taxi drivers. The ignorance towards his skills and accomplishments is insulting.

[Glamour Puss]

pretty much.....just like after the trinidad fight, when everyone thought he had a chance of beating calzaghe....



that's all it bruh.....



antonio tarver.....the first guy to KO roy, and beat him 2 out of 3, and some ppl say all 3 times they fought.



only delusional if yout think roy can still beat A class fighters....



go by the "what have you done lately" theory, and go by the fact this fight is needed and wanted moreso by jones than hopkins, and you get your answer....

hopkins can fight dawson or adamek, roy jones gets danny green....

Thats your theory. I don't have to go by it.

And Bernard can fight those two make less money or fight Roy and make more money.

[Jiddu Dali]

Bernards first loss doesnt count because it was his first fight.

Bernard loss to Roy, doesnt count because he was green.

Bernard TWO losses to Jermain Taylor, don't count because he actually won both.

Bernards loss to Calzaghe doesnt count, because he actually won that fight too.

classic

[Mr. Fantastic]

I would laugh if the cop beater were to beat Hopkins again. What would Hopkins say after losing to a "shell" of Jones??

BHop fights suck unless he's beating on a smaller man. So I wouldn't pay to see this one.

[FLY TY]

Thats your theory. I don't have to go by it.

And Bernard can fight those two make less money or fight Roy and make more money.

you don't HAVE to go by it.....that's why you're wondering WHY hopkins wants a bigger cut right now...

all i did was answer your question...you don't follow logic, then you end up making statements like "hopkins is on crack, if he thinks he should make more than rjj."

all i did was tell you why he should, and you best believe, if the fight gets made, it'll be b/c hopkins indeed DID get a bigger cut....if not, roy fights danny green.

[Jiddu Dali]

Ok then.....

What about Roy's fan excuses that tarver landed a "lucky punch"?

I've seen that one thrown around here in NSB more times than I can count.

Tarver will only be known for that punch....unfortunately that one punch wont get him on the ATG list or in the boxing hall of fame

< Rjj on the road to the Hall of Fame and ATG status
