    To be honest, I have never seen boxing interviews or boxers anywhere outside of actual boxing broadcastings. I have only seen some **** on the DeLaHoya-Hopkins fight and like 4 months after the Gatti-Mayweather fight I started seeing the commercial.

    but I doubt I would know too well who he is.

You can say whatever you want about these two but there is no denying that they are two of our generations most talented boxers. Both can be accused of not making the most exciting fights for the fans, but that shouldn't detract from commending them on great skill.
      Which two do you mean? I agree with you either way between all 3 of the pugilists. Hopkins will have the best outing between the 3 fighters in my mind, but Jones to me is still better than all of them.

        I actually was referring to Floyd and RJJ but you are right about all 3. If their careers all ended today I would have to agree with you that RJJ probably has the best legacy. He controlled the p4p scene for quite some time and people underrate the move to HW where he won a title. On the other hand, I think that if Floyd starts fighting the right people (and winning) he has the potential to have the greatest career out of all 3. Hopkins went out like a champion... I think he deserved that after all the struggles in his career/life.

          It was ESPN PPV.
          Their first and last PPV.
          I think Brock and McCline fight were on that card too.
          Ah you're right.

          Mosley v Estrada was on that card as well... but who Headlined it? I'm going to guess Shane.

            nope, roy ran away by moving up and then priced himself out. roy was afraid because he knew that hop would have his number the second time around.

              It's everyones opinion. Roy gave him the 60/40 offer, but Hopkins didn't comply.

                  Anyone with half a brain knows Hopkins wanted no part of Roy.

                      Its true.
                      Roy offered him 60/40, which when you break it down, was the biggest payday of Hopkins career.
                      BHop took the short end of the stick against Tito, but wouldnt take it against Roy.
                      Roy, the draw, p4p number 1 and the man who had already defeated Hopkins once offered Bernard more money than he has ever recieved and Hopkins turned it down.
