    RJJ couldn't sell the MGM at this point, anybody who knows about boxing would be excited by Hopkins-adamek for all the good reasons..

      By the time this fight is made, Jones and Hopkins will be receiving oxygen and prune juice between rounds.

        That is all
        RJJ can stick to fighting the Sheika and Lacys of boxing or step up his opposition a notch. RJJ is past it and an elite fighter like B-Hop shouldn't waste his time, I wouldn't even call that avenging a lose. B-Hop could atleast get a title at 168 and C.W, continue to add on to his legacy.

        This fight is long overdue, they faught in 93 I was 4 at the time, I'm freaking 20 right now! RJJ has been past his prime for 7 years. This does nothing for B-Hop's career. People are talking about, this a fight both can retire on but let me ask you this ; is it B-Hop that needs to retire or is it Roy? B-Hop has 3 options, more important then facing RJJ, that being Adamek, a title at 168 or facing the winner of Johnson vs Dawson.

          If you're a Roy fan you can say Hopkins is in the way of the fight not happening, but imo Roy is. Agree to the 40% and if B-Hop still don't want it, then you gotta point.
          I wouldn't consider that avenging a lose, no way.

            You can't really bash Hopkins for saying that IMO. The only thing I didn't agree with is when he said "the public isn't interested in the fight." I think a lot of people are. I would buy the PPV if they ended up fighting but I don't think he really needs to fight Roy at this point. Even if Bernard won, people would just say "he whooped you in his prime, you just beat a washed up version" so it wouldn't be sweet revenge.

              Don't get vexed, i threw you as an example to put the emphasis on how RJJ's rep has gone. Only his fanatics still care about him.
              Nobody wants to see his old ass gettin beaten up again, Roy is delusional like all of you. Glen Johnson, Tarver, Adamek or Hopkins would all stop him.

                    You're delusional if you think Roy is still a top fighter, if you think Roy has a chance againsy Hopkins and if you think he should still fight.

                    ODLH was right when he said RJJ should retire.
