Prime Roy Jones explains how to get a fight with him..how Bernard ducked..

[jermainerambo]

you do realize this is the internet right? No one is talking to anyone.

I was adding a point to my first post without using the edit button.

Have you been taking your bipolar meds today? Please continue to take them as stopping can have harmful side effects like assuming the internet is real life.

man you aint got no job you broke sat at your parents computer with no shoe on

1:48 and on.

This is before his fight with Woods in 2002 I believe.

He goes over:

1. How to get a fight with him in his prime: Become the number 1 contender for his title (Tarver did this and got a fight....other fighters did not).

2. How Bernard avoided him. I like Hopkins but always felt like he knew to wait around till Jones got too old and shot. Hopkins in the Jones 2 fight was an embarrasment to his own legacy by taking that fight and the antics during that fight.


Roy pretty much lays it out here and it a lot of it makes sense.

It did makes a lot of sense. I havent heard that point of view before, I just thought he was ducking Bernard all that time.

Not for nothing but there's nothing to get over. And I'm not a Hopkins fan/stan, as much as I respect him. I have never scored that bout but, to me, Joe looked like the winner to me. I also felt it could've gone either way. I also believe Joe blatantly ducked the rematch.

There are a lot of Hopkins fans are unwilling to accept and move on.

It is obsession. Very unhealthy.

Calzaghe Hopkins II

ut Calzaghe wrote in his South Wales Argus column: "Hopkins has said we have unfinished business and that I should give him a rematch.

"Golden Boy promoter Richard Schaefer says that talks are ongoing in regard to this fight happening.

"I have beaten Bernard Hopkins once, it wasn't a great fight and styles make fights and he came to hold and to spoil, rather than to execute as his nickname suggests."

I thought the fight was a stinker. I think Calzaghe thought Hopkins was a **** after seeing Bernard make racist comments, faking injury and time wasting/

Whatever, that's just BS excuses. That was the toughest fight of his career and he ran from it and chose to fight a Jones he personally said was shot. End of story.

Its funny because this thread was about Roy and Bernard.

And my favorite stalker bipolar nerd Diggler showed up and made it about Joe. Then the Joe fans show up.

But yes, it's all the Hopkins fans that are angry.

Clearly. That's why I made a thread pointing out the Bernard was ducking Roy the whole time.

No one's talking about "real brawls" (whatever the **** that means). I'm talking about a fight that most felt could've gone either way and warranted a rematch.

Very true. he went life or death with ATG Byron Mitchell
