Will Hopkins get any credit if he beats Roy Jones?

[ИATAS]

It will be mixed. Some will give him credit for "finally" beating someone with faster hands or whatever the myth is that is supposedly his kryptonite, others will point out jones already beat him in '93 in their "primes" and Jones is shot.

So he might get a little credit, but not a lot.

On the other hand, if he were to lose, even though he himself is 45 years old, prepare for the "hopkins has always been overrated!" "Jones OWNS Hopkins always & forever!" etc. etc. etc. type threads.

At the end of the day this is a grudge match that the fans wanted. That's all it is, this fight was made based on popular demand. All it proves is who is better NOW.

Sorry Hopkins fans. Even if he does what he almost certainly will and beats Roy, he will have to do it very decisively or KO Roy to get any credit. I know that pisses you off especially considering the obscene amount of threads us RJ fans will probably make if he wins, but that's society.

I promise I will give Hopkins credit, people were all over him to the point he had to take the fight.

That is the way I see it. Some of the guys who were saying Hopkins is scarred last week, eventhough the monetary demands Roy made, made no sense, since Hopkins at this point is in the driving seat. Are already making excuses now that Hopkins has agreed.

in all honesty beating roy jones now is like danny williams beating mike tyson..it means nothing other than a name on ya resume

[Chr0nic]

and why the hell do you have the batman logo on your sig?

[street bully]

no......................

Then why do some of his fans and Roy himself call into radio shows to confront him, and state that he is avoiding him, and if afraid?

[Haglerwins]

Technically, he should get no credit. He's supposed to win this. It just makes for good cooler talk on what would've happened around the time Hopkins came into his own if he and Roy fought again.

Weren't Bhop fans saying he has nothing to gain from this? Now he should gain credit? This fight is 3 things. Entertaining for us, for money, and for personal vendetta.
