Roy vs Tarver 5th round: Roy's last hurrah?

[Dr Cynical]

And Roy didnt make excuses.
He simply said.
"60/40 ill kick yo ass."

That's an excuse right there!

I bet that if Hopkins had accepted it, there would have been another excuse as to why he wouldn't fight Hopkins.

RJJ just thought way too much of himself and I think he had geniune doubts of himself against certain fighters.

Which is understandable. He didn't want to be exposed or shown up.

Like I said earlier, he'd be great in the WWE.

[Verstyle]

I don't know. I agree that it was foolish of him to do it.

However, I think he was fustrated that RJJ was acting so childish in refusing to take the match because it would be an even split.

Even if he was the bigger draw, why not act like a man and take it and prove that he could take Hopkins?

money talks in boxing. if u become a boxer u will be like the rest of them.

He took Hopkins the first time even with a broken right hand, why should he take him again? Why should he have to go out and prove to people he could beat him again, even when he beat him very convincingly the first time?

I'm not in that position, so I couldn't say.

I'd hope not to be like that.

I still think that's a weak reason for turning down a fight.

It wasn't as if he was going to take less than Hopkins.

Because there was doubt about who really should have won.

Also, his hand was broken?

Is that a fact or just something he said?

Fact
too short of a message.

Thats not an excuse.
Bernard denied the bigggest payday of his career.
It is clear that B-hop is the one doing the ducking.

That fight had no controversy. It was a normal decision. No one in their right mind has every tried to convince anyone that Hopkins won...

[cobracore]

Forget RJJ ducking Hops.

How about Dariusz?

[Super_Lightweight]

I find him to be a moron who should drop all the bull**** and actually put some focus into training and boxing and stop trying to play to the crowd all the damn time with his dancing in the ring and the **** he talks before, during, and after matches.

You're a right ****in idiot if you think Roy was anything but serious in his prime.

You can judge him on Tarver # all you want.

And Roy rarely ever 'talked ****' about others. He only bigged up himself, aside from whem pressed by Toney and Hops.
