      Thanks REED.

        Just realised, Roy's going to have to lose a lot of weight for this one considering he is fighting Danny Green at Cruiserweight not too long before. We all know what happened last time he did that.

        Edit: Unless Bernard is moving up to Cruiserweight?

          No, hes not going to the CW limit, he already stated... hes staying light, he will weigh in around 180-185.

            This is what I'm talking about, even after an excellent post 40 showing.. no respect. I kind of do want this fight to happen now.
            who cares if he beat tarver and johnson...johnson was absolutely nobody until he ko'd a shot roy jones, and tarver just got finished hanging out with sly stallone...

            like i said, hopkins was nobody until he beat a two divisions smaller trinidad and de la hoya...he lost to fighters his size with equal talent in jermaine taylor (green) and calzaghe, and is THE most overrated fighter of this generation...

            it's more exciting to watch jones get ko'd than to watch hopkins clinch, headbutt, and lowblow his way to another boring decision...let him fight jones, then we may be closer to somebody finally giving him the career ending beatdown....long overdue in my book...

              Give it a rest... Bernard is a great fighter. Period.

                This fight will be a good payday for Hopkins and Jones to retire on. I think the PPV will do very well.

                  Roy won't give it up, sadly. I guess I can see why he doesn't - his legacy is pretty secure and he'll be a decided underdog. I just hope it's regular HBO because I'm not shelling out for him to take 30 seconds to decide whether he wants to throw a punch or not.

                      Maybe according to you. And we've already heard your opinion on him 500 times, no point in continually repeating yourself.
