    Poor Roy Jones Is Gonna Get Knocked Out For 20 Bucks

    What a sad, sad way for an all time great to end his career.

    There is no way this fight is gonna make more than 3 million bucks after expenses. This is probably the saddest matchup I have witnessed in 15 years of being a boxing fan and there will be no real winners on fight night.

    Jones has the punch resistance of a prime Charlie Zelenoff and the speed and reflexes of Frankenstein. He is only gonna last as long as Bernard lets him which will probably be awhile because Hopkins knows it's a farce and probably won't want to knock Jones out in 1 minute and prove everyone right.

    I am boycotting this fight, anyone who buys it is doing the sport a disservice by telling the powers that be that fans will continue to pay 60 bucks for complete bull**** fights.

    The only good thing about this fight is I will make some more money betting against Roy Jones. Over the past 6-7 years I have made a small fortune betting on Tarver, Johnson, Green and Calzaghe.

    So I guess I also want to say thank you to Roy Jones since I will probably make more money off this fight than he will.

    It was kinda funny listening to Hopkins during on the promotional tour trying to justify this fight like everyone forgot that Roy's coming off a 1st round KO loss to a bum in Australia.

      I agree that this fight is a farce. I also agree that it's a mistake to support it. These dinosaurs should have retired long ago and make room for the young fighters.

      What a waste of airwave.

        Why should Hopkins retire? He can still beat almost everyone around man.

          We don't know that because he has avoided the #1 LHW in the world like the plague.

            how does these two legends fighting eachother effect any young fighters?

              Not fighting for one year means avoiding him like the plague? Also Hopkins was the number 1 LHW until very recently. Dawson is fighting Pascall and brings less cake than Danny Green.

                You would think they were pullign De La Hoyas by putting entire weightclasses on waiting lists or some ****.

                  Dawson brings more cake than Danny Green unless you're fighting Green in Australia.

                  At this point, Dawson brings in more money than Roy Jones. 800 tickets sold? Yikes. HBO doesn't even want to waste money on this event. So throw that out the window too.

                  Hopkins has had plenty of opportunities to fight Dawson and turned them down. Like...in place of this fight right here.

                  To me, there's no proof that he can beat "every fighter around" because he hasn't faced a top LHW in four years. Count 'em. Four.

                    Calzaghe was better than anyone in the division except himself by far. Would you pick Dawson over the Calzaghe from 2008? Also don't tell me to count. "Count em..four" what kind of ***** **** is that, I thought you were better than that nonsense.
