    I don't

    what does it prove? nothing.
    agree

    It's one of those fights that holds no weight or significance and really has no reason being made.
    basically its a grudge match / payday for both.

    Jones already taxed that ass prime for prime. Bernard didn't want the rematch then, why does he want it now?
    hopkins called out rjj, but rjj wouldn't budge from 60/40.

      No

      Hopkins is still a P4P level fighter; Jones is still good, but he is not. RJ is gonna wanna stay in his shell after B-Hop smacks him around.

        I support Jones whatever he decides to do. This is basically the same as going in to the Calzaghe fight, Roy trying for one last big win to end his career on top. Roy is definatly the underdog but if he's got a chance why not take it, thats what boxing is all about, defying the odds.

          I want to see this fight, for no other reason than the potential drama. When two guys genuinely dislike eachother, fire works are sure to happen.

          This could be their last fight they ever fight, why not fight each other and walk away when it's all said and done, no other fighters in these two guys future will generate this money.

          All the intangibles of this fight point to this fight being just epic

            i'd like to see it considering the clause that states that if someone wins by KO they get 60% instead of 50...

              I don't think Roy dislikes Bernard. It's just and old rivalry.

                Yes I want to see it. I'm such a Roy Jones Jr. mark I am holding out hope RJ will pull off one last masterful performance he'll be able to retire after.

                  the press conferences will be better than the fight itself.

                    It only takes one

                    And Bernard dislikes Roy

                    This fight needs to be in Atlantic City, so I can go
