Okay, I'm off on holiday after yet another correct boxing pick...

[ßringer]

First of, that's bogus. Hopkins had nothing to offer. Round 1, whatever. Other than that, Popkins never had Calzaghe in any sort of trouble. And Popkins was trying to cheat in that fight; going down to regain energy, taking forever to come out of the corner, prolonging hugs, delaying ref breaks and all sorts of nasty stuff. It was a shameful performance by Popkins and only a biased judge like that dumb ***** would give the fight to him.

Keep in mind that Roy's reign was 10x more dominant and that's important.
Also, are y'all forgetting that Roy and Popkins did actually fight each other?!
We all know what happened there.

Ask any expert;
Who's got a greater legacy?!
Who's a greater fighter?!
Who will be remembered in the long run?!
They will all tell you the same thing...

ESPN, The Associated Press, Brian Kenny, yahoo sports, and Dan Rafael are some of the people who scored it for Hopkins.

I kinda felt sorry for him, he shouldn't fight again.

i was going to reply to S.G., but you beat me to it.

i also felt bad for roy last night. i also agree that he needs to pack it in. he has been knockedout twice(one of those i thought he wouldn't recover form..maybe he didn't), and now he takes a beating....i don't want to see what's next...

Facts are facts.

Roy got beaten 3 times by a guy Hopkins outclassed in Tarver.

You lost me there.

Facts can be proven. Jones lost to Tarver 2 times.

EXAMPLE: Jones UD> Hopkins while closer to their primes
& Calzaghe beat Jones when he was 39 and faded.

You were right on the pick,but this thread is way distasteful. Being a boxer or a fan, you should pay Jones some respect. He reinvented exciting boxing while Joe was fighting scrubs in his Newbridge backyard. This was nothing like the fight that would have happened in Jones' prime. Believe that.

Jones "reinvented exciting boxing"? Wow.

As for this being different to Jones's prime then who was it who said all along THAT JONES WAS WASHED UP IN THIS FIGHT?

Roy became the HW champ of the world.

An obese *******ual Jamaican was the HW champ of the world. John Ruiz was a title holder.


What's this about Bore Hard enjoying Roy getting ****ed up? Where did I have to look to see that?

[Duke McKenzie_]

It IS surprising how quickly Roid got used to losing though. He practically gave Joe a reach around.
