    And who Said Roy had one hand... ROY?

    Bernards punches wont effect Roy?

    Remember Glen Johnson? Yeah Bernard STOPPED HIM, while he was still undefeated...
    I also remember Glen Johnson having not faced an opponent with a pulse up to that point. He didn't mature as a fighter until much later. Anyway this should be a cakewalk for Hopkins, if I was him, I'd take the "winner take all" offer.

      aw yea, the good ole johnson
      he was green when hopkins fought him obviously
      he fought NOBODY, and he actually tried to use skills and be technical
      he found his calling in the brawling pressure style tho

        I see B hop having more problems with Roy than I see Roy having problems with B Hop
        Roys speed is 70% on the ropes... please tell me the last time Roy fought an entire fight in the center of the ring.


        No really, please answer me that question.


        Do you really think Bernard is gonna smother himself against Roy while Roy plays rope a dope like he did Lacy?

        Really?

          prime for prime- Roy already won with one hand.
          Now- B-Hop knocks jones out and puts him out of his misery. Jones is shot and fighting and beating fighters like sheika and lacy dont prove otherwise

            ok he KO'ed Johnson...Johnson has more Ko's than B Hop

            just like Roy told B Hop..."ok Tarver and Johnson beat him...but B hop didnt"...why is he living vicariously through their victories over Jones?

            Taylor got Ko'ed by Pavlik and Taylor beat B hop twice.....

            how about we talk about How B hop would beat RJJ ?

            Jones defeated Hopkins by a 12 round decision in May 1993, even though Jones fought most of the fight using only his left hand because he had injured his right hand early in the bout.

              he wouldnt need to rope a dope vs B hop

              Hopkins still doesn’t have the speed to keep up with even an aging RJJ. Hopkins may be able to make younger, more inexperienced fighters look bad but think he’ll struggle vs RJJ & that’s why he’s turning down a potential huge pay day fighting Jones. He’s too worried about his “legacy” if he loses to RJJ twice.

                Really? You want to use a fight that happened SIXTEEN YEARS AGO.. and use that as proof as to what would happen NOW?

                  Bernard still has GREAT technical counterpunching.. and can throw Roy off his game with one clean punch...

                  No, its because when Roy was on top he offered Bernard 40%... and now the situation has turned... and now its Roy that needs to take 40%... but he wont either.

                      Hopkins fears Roy could embarrass him, this fight won't be made. Roy should make the steaks higher and say 70-30 for the winner of this fight. Will the so called great b-hop turn it down?

                      Screw it, lets see who has the biggest balls. 80-20 to the winner!!!
