Roy Jones-Bernard Hopkins II is Signed For 2010

[jayhova29]

This fight will be a huge borefest guaranteed. It isn't in these guys' nature to go out of their way to push themselves in the ring because they never had to due to their superior skills. In that sense, they are similar to Mayweather in that regard. It's just that Roy's incredible offense was his defense and Hopkins combined a philly shell style with an economic, yet accurate punch arsenal. Hopkins even implemented that in his prime, but the difference is he was exciting. I respect Hopkins a lot because I am a boxing purist up to an extent. But I can see why he is boring to people who are not boxing purists.

well i know my fair share of boxing, and i respect him too, but borefest guaranteed, na, i have to disagree, especially if he decides to take the fight to Roy like he did against Pavlik, i dont think B-Hop can knock roy out or vice versa. Trap fight for bernard. Roy by split or close decision.

Danny Green might just interrupt all of this.

Legacy, legacy garbage, this fight will happen only if Roy Jones Jr defeat the IBO champion in December. How scare Hopkins is from Roy? Why they cannot fight each other before December? That mean, if Jones lose that fight, then Hopkins will talk trash about “there is no sense to fight a loser” I know very well Hopkins trash mouth.

Yeah, that sounded like him on that phone conversation, making up excuses. lol

One of the interesting things I saw Roy say about this rematch is...

He made a committment to Danny Green to fight him, which is fine and it's good that he's not going back on his word when it's obvious that fight could be thrown out the window in favor of this one. BUT...

Roy said he was willing to fight anywhere from December 5th onward, and that's odd to me. This fight I assume will be somewhere around the end of January to the middle of February in 2010, which will give Roy VERY little time in between fights to both prepare and recover from having fought Danny Green. I dont' doubt Roy will win that fight, but it seems that with all the trash talk going on, this is a bad move.

Anybody else agree, that Roy may over-train in such a short period preparing for TWO fights within less than 3 months of each other?

Bhop is going to beat Roy in the rematch

Judging from Roy on 24/7 with Calzaghe, i dont think Roy really goes all out in training to overtrain. lol

I would agree, except for the fact that since that fight, his father is back in his camp, and his dad is VERY strict. Roy's attitude has also changed significantly, he seems more surly, more ready to fight instead of being all happy go lucky as he was against Tito and Calzaghe.

If you ask me, Roy's reinvigorated with his Dad back in his training camp. He threw many more shots against Lacy than we're used to seeing him throw recently. He seems quick(er) and goes to the body much more as well.

I'm very excited about this! Please beat Danny Green, Roy.

This 24/7 would be classic!

Even though they are old, I think it'll be a fight worth buying if it's on PPV.
