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

[Dan...]

But he isn't. He's ranked #3, chad dawson is #1, glen johnson #2.



*** his age? lol history will show 45 is old. True for hopkins too man, he's old.



Number 3.



Or you can say he's rematching teh guy that beat him all those years ago and it's a grudge match between two legends who are both past their best years but can still put up good entertaining fights for their fans.

Difference of perspective.

My mistake. Still, the numbers may be different but the implications are the same.

I'd be fine with the fight if Bernard wasn't considered a top-ranked LHW and even a top-rated p4p fighter. If he wasn't a top 5 LHW or in the top 10 p4p I'd be fine with the fight. THe fact is, he's not.

He should not be fighting Roy Jones at this point. It is not good for the sport. End of.

alright, you're entitled to your opinion. I'll bump this thread after a very competitive fight occurs.

I don't care if it is competitive, I don't even care if Roy wins, it changes nothing IMO.

Here you have a top, top guy like Bernard Hopkins who is still right at the top of his game and at the top of the sport charging people $50 to watch a guy who can't go a round with Danny Green. Those are the facts, and IMO they do not paint a very pretty picture for our sport.

I agree with you there. This fight will be competitve and have it's moments. I don't doubt that at all. It's just a shame that it has to happen at this point in their careers. Jones will come out looking better than he really is and will continue to fight until he gets knocked out again.

I've mad a few threads ripping the fight and the character of both fighters. Trust me when I say this....the fans of both fighters are loyal and it doesn't matter, they will purchase the fight. To me, it's fights like these that hold the sport back from creating a new fan base. Ah well, don't let it get to you. They will do their 200,000 buys and then that will be the end of it.

I believe Hopkins when he says this fight is personal to him. He's gonna beat the **** out of Roy.

[djtmal]

anyone who buys a fight involving hopkins, isn't ordering a "fight" per se, but a wrestling match/hug/foul fest...lol

Natas, Hopkins is ranked number 3 now? He was at number one in the division a month ago.

Hopkins vs Winky sold about 350K. Jones vs a guy no one has ever heard of in their lives drew over 200K a little over a year ago. This fight will sell well.

Inactivity and the tune up hurt his ranking in the division.
