    Hopkins Is Tailor made for Roy Jones...He dont do nothing but move no pressure at all...Roy Jones will beat him again...

I hope he does he looks past opponents like he knows the future...
      How is it looking past his opponent to say he's going to fight twice more before he retires at 41 (something he's said all along)?

      And once again, this is actually a good thing for him financially. The rematch will bring in more money that this fight.

        Also, though Roy could say no to Bernard, leaving B-Hop the light-heavyweight strap option only. Either way, I think both options would be good for Bernard. If he loses to Jermain again, though, I have no idea what he'd do. I just hope he wins his very last fight and goes out with a ****.

          hopkins is to old to be moving up to light-heavy. he is almost 41. he needs to finish his career as a middleweight.

            A lot of people said that B-Hop was too old to defend his title against a younger, quicker, and stronger Jermain Taylor too, but he proved them wrong. I think he should go for it and then call it a career, just to prove people like you wrong. AGAIN.

              i feel for bernard. but i feel he is in denial about this fight. his stratagy was flawed in this one which adds to his denial.

              he never ratched it up. he says he won all these rounds but his corner was yelling at him that he was behind. man by the end of the 8th i was going "what the fck is bernard doing".

              i was afraid that after that headbutt and taylor seeing his own blood that hopkins would pschologicly get to him. but taylor stuck right in there better than most more expierianced.

              yes taylor showed his inexpieriance burning himself up early throwing all those punches made glancing by rage. and dropping his fckg right. his trainer better ductape his righthand to his right forehead in training for rematch.

              he stood up to him and won fair even against hopkins dir...tactics.

              taylor just got 3 1/2 years of expierience in one fight.

              in his post fight interview he was already anyalizing his mistakes. and throwing good accalaides onto the great champion hopkins.

              taylor with more confidents, more training ,and more expieriance will have an easier time second time around.

              delahoya better get that rematch october 1. more time means more training for taylor.

                Theres no reason for Hopkins to stay at 160 now. He beat the last contender, and they took away his chance to beat Joe "Coke Fiend" Louises record, so why stay at 160?

                Hop needs to go where there is competition. He has cleaned out 160.

                  you mean you'd rather see a boring hopkins/tarver over a taylor/hopkins rematch ?

                    I have a feeling we'll be seeing both, gentlemen. Something is telling me Roy isn't going to accept Bernard's challenge.
