    I'm hoping that Hopkins(& RJJ, but i'm not so sure about him) go out and give everything they got left for 12 rounds, show just a little glimps of what they once were win or lose. I know Hopkins will retire after the fight but I really hope RJJ does too, both their careers are as complete as they're gonna get.There's No need to go on to the point you look nothing like you once did like Hollyfield & Tyson.

      If everyone who wasn't a legitimate threat to win a world title just quit because they weren't at that level, we would only have a handful of fighters active right now. If he can sell tickets, and someone's willing to pay him, he should keep fighting if he wants to...

          True i believe Roy should hang his gloves up but still legends like Holyfield & Roy Jones still put Bums on seats and thts the reason their still fighting 4 the money, and many boxers like Roy and Holyfeild who have never done notning but Box and have Fans Shouting their names and cheering them on prob miss the fans effection, and its also 2 do with their state off minds Holyfield stills believes he is the same boxer who faced the Tysons & Bowes in his prime but he rele ant, also Roy also.

Both he and Tarver should stop wasting our times too, who is Tarver kidding, one of the greatest off all time?!?!?! only in his wildest dreams will he ever be considered one of the greatest. Bernard is one of the greatests, but whys he still fighting.i'd much rather see Jones get knocked out again then watch 12 rounds of holding, and jabs, and more holding, and ducking, and circling.

            I know some of u guys are gonna be like, "well u dont have to watch any of those fights if u dont want to," so that being said, i know i dont have to watch them, and im not going to, but there are ppl who will watch them expecting to see good fights, just to be dissapointed. Jones, Hopkins, and Tarver are wasting all of there times and everyone who is somehow involved in those "big" pay-per-are-you-kidding-view fights. there times are being wasted. Let me know what y'all think, feel free to be critical
            o yea, jones sure does need money. luckily u said i can be critical, so i can call u ****** for saying jones just needs the money.

              Because he isn't extremely old(like hopkins), I don't mind him going out there and facing opponents so I can see him get knocked out some more.

                Roy was once described as the biggest waste of talent to ever step in a boxing ring. I tend to agree. My boy Tarver whooped his ass, and that's the only reason I wanted Jones to keep winning...all wins right up until Tarver. Tarver did what I said he'd do for years and knock the piece of trash out. Good riddance, Jones, boxing does not need you or the example you set throughout your career.

                  I agree in that I don't really care as long as he gets knocked out again. Tarver exposed the man as a coward who wilts under pressure. But I'm also eager to see Hopkins get his ass handed to him by Tarver as well. I gotta tell ya, Tarver is like my personal cleanup man, beating the **** out of the guys I never liked. Of course Hopkins DID fight the best available to him for the majority of his career and HE shouldn't be held accountable for the Roy rematch never materializing in 2002. But the way he complained after the Taylor fights really makes me eager to see him on the canvas and Tarver gloating over him.

                    RJJ was one of the P4P fighters of our era. His legacy is set in stone, and that wont change. For several year no on went the distance with him, there arent many fighters that can say that.

                    Tarver fought RJJ way past his prime, and lucky for him he had no where near the miles on him RJJ did at the time.

                      That's all fine and dandy, but May 15, 2004 will never be forgotten by this fan.
