Honestly I'm a huge Hopkins fan, but if you really think about it, this 60-40 **** Hops pulled was pretty ******.

Yup.

But seriously, listen to Roy's logic. Bernard's argument seems ******ed.

Such swagger. It's hilarious that everyone keeps saying Roy ducked anyone. Yeah, okay....sure whatever.

He's right, he had the win, the star power and #1 p4p status. Why the hell would he go 50/50 with Hopkins?

Exactly. Simple logic. I've always said that you have to pursue the bigger star and do everything you can to make the fight.

hopkins had no problem taking the short end with de la hoya did he?

In this case, Roy has a point. He should not have gone for 50/50 against Hopkins. They should have settled at 55/45.

That said, I don't know why Roy's fans think he should get a pass for not facing all the fighters he didn't face. Roy somehow didn't fight Benn, McClellan, Eubank, Jirov, Dariusz, and Collins. I'm not saying he ducked these guys, but I am saying that he shoud rightfully be penalized and criticized for not facing them when it mattered.

**** I even give him a pass for not fighting Liles because he'd have to have signed to Don King.
