    Roy certainly never ducked the Brits, however, that 1st post didn't/doesn't prove d%#k.

      There is a little history between Roy Jones and Eubank in a way. Not alot of people know this but Roy Jones met Mica Paris at the Benn v Watson fight and they stayed in contact by phone, but it sizzled out. Not alot of people know this but Mica Paris is Chris Eubank's cousin! I'm not sure they actually dated though, her and Roy Jones.

          WTF? You're clueless. Roy offered the fight to him on live HBO at a 60/40 split and Hopkins turned it down. Roy was the bigger name, the bigger draw, P4P #1 and had already beaten Hopkins. 60/40 was more than fair for a rematch. Let's try and not get ****** around here, please.

            Roy doesn't have to prove he has to beat Hopkins again, he whipped him with a broken right hand! Not like he even needed it with his helluva left hooks.

                  I know what you saw. Hopkins called out Jones, who was live via satelite feed. Jones offered him 60/40 split and "I'll kick your ass." And Hopkins turned it down.
