Comments Thread For: Roy Jones Jr: Knocking Hopkins Out Could Be The End

If Lacy was shot, Taylor would have stopped him.

Yeah, because Jermain is in fantastic condition himself.

Jeff Lacy was shot. That is fact. Not opinion.

The man laboured to a closish decision against Peter Manfredo ffs.

The truth is, had ROY JONES JR. NOT got knocked out in his last fight with GREEN. hobkins wouldn't be challenging him. hobkins is a FRAUD.

You do know that the Jones-Hopkins fight was agreed to prior to the Jones-Green fight and that Roy's fight with Green was a "tune-up" right?

Just checking.

No it wasn't considered a tune up and Roy has stated it numerous times doing pre-press for the fight. The fight was already scheduled before the Hopkins fight. The fight vs Green was pretty much signed back in August when Roy fought Lacy which is the reason why Green was on the undercard for the fight. You can view clips on Youtube to the actual contract signing between Jones and Green.
