Do some of you realize what Hopkins and Jones are doing to the fans?

[IMDAZED]

Agreed. As bad as I think this fight. I have seen far worse in my years of wathing boxing. This doesn't hurt the sport in any way. Certianly no more than the upcoming Ortiz-Liddell or the late career Tim Shamrock fights did to the UFC.

Agreed. Not so worried about the health of the sport though - more worried about the health of Jones.

They are both masked robbers. They not getting a dime from me. This **** will be streamed. They both claim to be for the fans then why isnt this free???

I agree. If they wanted to make it for the fans, they would of done so long time ago. Not 17 years later.

[Lorily]

Boxing fans will pay for just about any fight these days because they are starving for more. HBO/Showtime stepping aside for Winter Olympics, WTF??

[Sweet Jesus]

**** Hopkins and **** Jones. If they never fight again after this I wouldn't even blink.

He is supposed to be the #1 LHW in the world. *** his age, who cares? He is ranked at one and instead of fighting a legit contender he is fighting a guy who is totally past it, got KTFO in round 1 against a journeyman in his last fight and doesn't have a relevant win at LHW in over 5 years. What's worse is people have to pay $50 to watch it.

I think Chad Dawson is considered number 1 and certainly would by people who truly follow the sport. But I don't disagree with you on how bad this fight is. Especially after Jones dismal showing against Green. The fight shouldn't happen and Jones should have never fought Green to be honest unless he really needed the money.

Hopkins should be ashamed for even picking on Jones. Hes no better then Calzaghe in that regard.

I agree. I don't understand Jones hanging around the sport like this unless he really needs money.

I think Chad Dawson is considered number 1

He is #1 and Glen Johnson is #2.

Why does anybody pay for any PPV fight? I haven't for years and I never miss one. Just stream the damn thing.

Because I'd rather watch it in HD on a big ass TV then a ****ty ass stream on my computer. If you get 5 friends to go in on it, it's only like 10 bucks a piece.

Hopkins should be ashamed for even picking on Jones. Hes no better then Calzaghe in that regard.

Well, in Hopkins defense he has taken on some challenges in his old age including, Tarver, Calzaghe, and Pavlik. So it's not like he's been going after easy fights. I'll give him a pass at 45 for taking this fight even though it's a horrible match-up. Other than Calzaghe, Jones has wisely avoided live competition since the third Tarver fight. But it backfired on him against Green. That was inevitable for a fighter who is way past it tries to get by on set ups.
