    i'm iffy bout this fight. Jones will either look real good, or prove that what everyone says about him being a shadow of who he once was whereas Bernard's actually been looking pretty good...guess the only way to find out is to have them fight

      Roy would outsmart him and out strength him and outspeed him

      u talk as if B hop has ever been a dominant versatile fighter....

      the dude has made a legacy on beating smaller fighter he forced to come up...

      RJJ is not a WW or a JMW
      You're right... hes a SHOT fighter who was knocked out SIX YEARS AGO.... TWICE... and got beat up by tthe same guy Bernard got a SD loss against.

      Roys beating Sheika and Lacy... and Bernard is beating Kelly Pavlik.

      Theres a difference here.

      You dont think Bernard knows HOW or WHEN to counter in between Roys shots?

        Using your wrist isnt LEGAL either... talking about Bernard clinching.. hitting with a wrist is also ILLEGAL.
        Joe actually said after the fight that he "was" hurt by it and it was clear at the time

          Are you slow or something reed? Why did you become a cheating hopkins fan over Roy? Hopkins cheated against Calzaghe and still got outboxed by him. Hopkins didn't deserve a split decision, he deserved a DQ for that performance.

            Well theres a difference between a legal and an illegal punch.

            If I bring a baseball bat into the ring Im sure that will hurt more also... but it isnt LEGAL.. so theres no point in talking about it.

              Pavlik... another overhyped American just like Lacy.. Williams or any decent boxer will expose him even more

                as much as i love roy jones....bernard hopkins is the smarter fighter. roy relies too much on the physical. bernard hopkins is the most cerebral boxer of our era. him and nasim richardson come up with the blueprints to win time and time again. and lets not forget that bhop is still strong and he counter punches. tarver got a lucky counter on roy and KO'd him. what would happen with a flush, timed, well excuted hook from bhop on rjjs chin???

                oh and whoever said its roy keeping the fight from happening not bernard......roy said it could be a prize fight and the winner would get their 60%. bernard didnt want that. they both deserve 60 but roy more than bernard because of his win. a prize is as good as it gets.

                    People act like Jones beat the crap out of hopkins. No, it was an extremely boring fight but Jones was more active of the two and clearly the more experienced of the two at the time. Go back and watch the later rounds if you forgot, hopkins was landing some good right hands in the later part of the fight.
                    lol@ Land @ Will

                    what fight were u watching....a few right hands..after getting beat up the whole fight with one hand?...please

                      Pavlik would knock lacy into the next millennium.
