Will Hopkins get any credit if he beats Roy Jones?

[larry x]

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?

cause roy is desperate for a meaningful fight..roy needs hopkins not the other way around..after the joe fight i was glad hopkins said he'd never fight roy..but now he's taken the bait..a win over roy means nothing besides a nice payday and personal bragging rights between the 2

Dawg you know how it is in the blocks. Hopkins comes from them. Dude has been chasing him around and his fans saying he is scarred, at least they can man up if he loses.

[MANGLER]

Yea. Both of em are old.

As a B-Hop fan, I ain't giving Bernard credit. What a waste man.

[chinoy]

Hopkins should get credit.....
im buying this PPV fight next year

This fight what have made more sense AFTER Hopkins victory over Trinidad. After all, Tito was set to fight Roy had he defeated Bernard, and with tables turned and Hopkins being the new hottest commodity after the Tito win and Roy still seemingly on top at the time the stage was set. Now I think it would be a tough sell simply because of where each fighter is as at this moment with their careers seemingly coming to conclusion.

Peace.

Roy made ****** demands then when both men were on top and relevant as P4P number 1 and 2. Now Jones is not relevant at all, and Hopkins gave him 50-50. I do not see how people claimed Hopkins was the one stalling negotiations.

Reasonable amount of credit, even based on the style match-ups and Hopkins is getting no younger. I've always said too many folk exaggerated how past prime they were, and really that's already been proven to be right, to varying degrees.

Hopkins is favorite sure, but Roy beat Lacy a hell of a lot more convincingly than a younger Taylor did, and Hopkins hasn't been active.

[Sin City]

Roy Jones is still the better of the two regardless..
Roy Jones prime win over Hopkins would always be more segnificant then if Hopkins beat him now.

If history serves me correctly Roy was asking for a 60/40 spilt which was not so outrageous at the time considering then he was P4P #1 and undefeated while at the time Hopkins only claim was defeating Tito. Not an unreasonable demand by a long shot.

Peace.
