So how much legacy does Roy Jones get back if he wins???

[JONESJR22]

Nobody can erase what has already been achieved.

Very true.

[THE REED]

This fight doesn't effect either Roy or Hopkins legacy, win or lose.

Hopkins is 45, jones is 41.

If hopkins wins, he beat a shot roy.

If jones wins, he beat a 45 year old hopkins that finally got old.

However with a Jones win, one could make a stronger case that Jones would have always beat hopkins.

so if Roy wins it's only because nard suddenly fell off?

The only thing it does is get rid of that excuse that Hopkins was too inexperienced in the first fight.

For the past few years Hopkins has seemed to be the better fighter of the two, thus reversing circumstances of the first
for a rematch with Glen Johnson.

why so Roy can die?

This fight dosen't do anything for either fighters legacy, it's purely personal. If Hopkins wins he beat a past prime Jones, So what? Green, Calzaghe, Johnson and Tarver already done that. If Jones wins good for him but he already beat Bernard when it mattered more. If this version of Jones beats Hopkins it just shows he always got Hopkins number.

If really hope Roy wins this for it is the ending his amazing career deserves but it would not prove anything we don't already know.

[AKATheMack]

It puts him ahead of Calzaghe all-time.

[GTL]

Roy wins this right IMO.. He needs to retire and move on

C'mon even reading in here you know people on this site think every breathe Jones takes in a ring is tarnishing his image at this point simply because he isn't the Prime Roy that was so good he didn't even have problems in the ring with brilliant fighters.

I'm strongly opposed to those who think a fighter can tarnish anything they did in the past by losing late in their career. What a fighter accomplishes can never be changed, no matter what happens after.

Yeah that dosen't make sense. If your beaten in your prime when you step up your competition it ruins your legacy but if you get beaten when your past your best how could that change what you were when you were on top? That makes no sense.

If the man wants to fight let the man fight.
Ppl in this thread said he should go after Green which I think is a much bigger risk than Johnson is at this time.
