I never thought I'd question Hopkins for ducking a fight but after reading the whole transcript for a radio show he was on with RJJ the man chickened out. Hopkins the man that defied the odds by remaining an p4per in his 40s is bitching about Roy taking less money like Hop is trying to prove he's the man cause he gets more money. Good for Roy for not backing down **** Hopkins. I have never liked him as much since he went off with the racist **** to sell the Calzaghe fight, we don't need that in boxing that draws the wrong kind of attention. The man's a legend and an ATG maybe a top 10 mw ATG what is he afraid of? This isn't about selling fights this is trying to put Roy down like he's a dog or some crap. Unless something changes when it comes to fighting RJJ the man's a coward.

And what has Roy done to earn a fight with BHop?Originally posted by lparm View Post
Is it going to move Hop up any higher a place on the ATG list beating the current Jones?
I'll wait. -
Hopkins chased the fight for years and now he can get his chance at revenge he bitches about getting the 60% split of the purse. If a Roy-Hop PPV happened I'd bet at least half the fans would tune in just to see Roy. Hop has 3 options, fight a young, tough guy (Adamek or Dawson), fight an old Roy, or retire. There really isn't much choice for him at his age he can't wait it out too much longer.Originally posted by Haglerwins View PostComment

He beat him in 93 and it would be a popular fight for the fans, probably sell well. If Roy is shot then Hopkins has nothing to lose.Originally posted by Haglerwins View PostComment
