    That's their ''relationship''.Whenever there are cameras on them and they are together they get into playground mode and talk this crap.
    Both looked bad but Bernardmore so to me.Should have kept talking.
    About the fight it certainly won't be a step down from Ornelas or maybe even Pavlik.
    Stylistically Roy will give him problems.

      In 7 years? He beat some good fighter in the last 7 years, I don't know what you on about. Jeff Lacy, Trinidad, Tarver, & Ruiz.

          If you count Lacy and Trinidad as good fighters for Jones then you might as well ride in the short bus.

            Danny Green and Mundine beat them both. Mundine is one of the few fighters today who I think could outbox them.

              Green is mineral salt compared to Hopkins. Walk in a sports bar and ask someone who Bernard Hopkins is and they'll know. Ask who Danny Green is and they won't.

                  If Hopkins was scared he would of never signed on to this fight and heres why:
                  1. Hopkins will prove nothing by beating Jones
                  2. Hopkins doesnt need the money
                  3. A loss would severely hurt his credibility
                  4. He doesnt have many fights left in him.
                  5. Jones is easier to beat than Adamek.(As of now, not talking prime)
                  I hope RJJ wins against Green to make this happen...
                  This fight is going to be a slugfest im thinking.
                  Two old fighters fighting for legacy not a W. RJJ wants to end his career by shutting up critics who have said he hasnt beaten a decent opponent in 7 years( wink wink) and B-Hop doesnt want to lose another match to RJJ and have it hurt his legacy. Some may say Jones needs the money but i really think he just wants to prove his worth in the boxing community.

                  I dont know why this fight doesnt have more hype. I do believe Jones will lose but hell its going to be entertaining.

                      When he has nothing to gain and everything to lose, while Jones has nothing to lose and everything to gain.
