Roy Jones Jr. - "Hopkins Can Forget a Rematch!"

[Darkstar]

Honestly even if this fight doesn't happen...Who cares? I mean its not what it would have been anyway...

If it was Jones(montell griffin II version) vs. Hopkins(Trinidad version or earlier) then it would truley mean something.

Hopkins win over Pavlik wasnt really that good. Hes just p4p top 5 because hes old. The Hopkins that beat Trinidad was much better. Roy already beat Hopkins in 1993, it doesnt mean anything now.

Damn it, B-Hop deserves the winner of those two. If Jones beats Calzaghe, that fight would be ****ing huge. Maybe Jones knows at this stage that B-Hop may be to much for him, because he has to know how huge that fight would be if he were to beat Joe.

I thought my comment wouldn't travel the Atlantic well ....

LOL.

We leave the nationalism aside and talk boxing, the good and the bad. No Yank, Limey crap.

Agreed on the Tito part.

The Hopkins who beat Tito...MY GOODNESS. Was an ANIMAL. And even better a couple years before.

Darkstar. Thats wrong brother, and I like you...

c'mon, pavlik was favored going into the fight by the boxing media and fans.

Hopkins had been looking like he was losing step the last two fights.

Pavlik is 17 years younger than Bernard Hopkins. 17 years is nearly two decades.

Pavlik is one of the top 10 atleast elite fighters in the sport, in fact he undefeated going into Saturday.

Hopkins dominated(at 43 years old, actually getting close to 44) Pavlik for 12 rounds. Thats not that good?

Hopkins was an ANIMAL? When did he stop?

In 1993 Hopkins was really at his best, he was young then too.

[Xyei]

Roy will lose to Calzaghe and then Calzaghe's bitches will fight each other.

Just playin....

If Roy wins or loses a close fight with Calzaghe, that's the only fight I see him taking. That would be a huge fight $$$$ wise...

When he cut his punch output in half.

Can you imagine Hopkins with ALL those skills but...throwing 60-80 punches a round? Jesus Christ.

I wouldn't say he was young, just younger and active.

I think RJJ is a very clever man to not give a rematch to BH. I mean that victory over BH is priceless, and especially now that BH has gone on to achieve such good things since. Nobody can take that win away from RJJ and RJJ would spoil it, if he lost a rematch to BH, which i think he would lose.

But true Pavlik didnt have much experience going in with BH. But JT didnt have much experience and he beat BH twice. So its not always as simple as that. If Pavlik fought a different fight maybe things could have been different.

Yes. I completely agree. I thought the same thing, Hopkins is at a very high level still and one more big fight with him would be huge..... but someone said a Roy Jones-Hopkins fight means nothing now. So I thought I was wrong.

Which is odd to me because why would Roy Jones Jr. not want to fight one of the sports best? I thought maybe because It was a overrated Hopkins win on Sat, and it really didnt mean anything at this point.
