Hopkins V Jones in February

[Dan...]

Hopkins by KO.

Roy still has the abilities to look pretty decent against B-level fighters, but Bernard is something else. He'll stop Roy with a right hand.

[Abstraction]

i gave nard props for at least making a fight with shotroy jones, who is equally talented and his size...

...and i'm not hanging from joe's jock...i give him respect for coming to the us, lobbying for a fight with nard, getting it and beating him...a good version of nard to boot...everybody who beat nard beat him ugly...there's never gonna be a ultimate stomp out on nard, simply because he's too defensive and fights too dirty...a rematch would be no different...hopkins career imo was never special, but it faded badly after he beat trinidad and continued to feast on middleweights...everybody who doesn't think much of his career says the same thing...beats up on smaller men, loses to equally talented fighters his size or bigger, fights dirty, hates his excuse-making, delusional nutthugger following....

"Continue to feast on Middlweweights" ? That's because he was a MW for the overwhelming majority of his career.

Joe came to the US? Are you aware he avoided going outside the UK because he claimed a "Fear of flying" ? What happened to that fear of flying when Hopkins and RJJ were passed their best, and couldn't get a final payday from anyone else?

Smaller Men? Who was smaller?
The guy was "Too Old" when he faced Trinidad, who was MW champ/

He came in at 156lbs to Oscars 158 lbs? Use a calculator if you must, but you'll notice that means Hopkins came in smaller than DLH.

Cut the dude some slack. He is 44.

so in other words, if they faught now it would be fair? just because he'd be 44 instead of 45. lol roys gonna be 41. they both are old and past it. roy is 4 years younger, but who has looked better over the last 5-6 years? B-Hop.

i'm not saying that this fight means as much as it would have in their primes, because it doesn't but its still a good fight for either fighter

That's just Hopkins though. Fact of the matter is at any point in his recent bouts, he could have just gassed. Not because of conditioning, but because of his age.

Yes, RJJ is hardly a youngster, but being 4/5 years younger and active is a huge difference to an inactive 45 year old

Roy will take his soul this time. ****hop will try and run and counterpunch but Roy will force him in a corner and unleash flurries until the jackass is gone. For good this time I hope.

[DiegoFuego]

This fight is 8 years too late for anyone to give a ****

[joe strong]

jones has a fight with danny green in december 5 so you actually think hed fight hopkins a couple months later? i doubt it! maybe in march or april.i think hopkins takes care of roy but you never know.

Fuck this dumb ass fight. As a Hopkins fan I've lost respect for him. He needs to fight Adamek or Dawson if he gets past Johnson, and he can beat both of those guys.

"Roy Jones Jr. revealed that Bernard Hopkins has agreed to a 50-50 split for a potential February rematch between the two living legends...with a wrinkle. If the fight ends in a knockout, the winner receives 60%, with the loser getting 40%."

So much for Nard only caring about his legacy eh?
Whats fighting a shot Roy Jones who was pimped slapped and embarrassed by Joe Calzaghe do for his legacy?

Not gonna believe it till fight night these two have been fighting with a 50/50 split for years now.

Hopkins has turned into a joke. But his career has hardly ever been respectable anyway. This guy built his "greatness" by beating small middleweights and ex-welterweights, while he in reality was a light hw.
