[dadd]

roy!!!

roy has always said 60 to the winner and 40 to the loser for years roy has been saying that and hopkins would not take that deal!!! so no its 60 if you win by K.O. roy has been pushing 60-to the winner and 40 to the loser for a long time and hopkins would not take it!!! thats how boxing should be 60 winner 40 to the loser!!!

but know hopkins knows he can K.O. roy!!!

Hopkins wins by slick overhand right K.O.

lol, what made joe not be any where near his prime? all those wars he got into? what did he do different in his prime? viciously knock people out by a 50% increase? joe was in his prime, no matter if he was 36, you better believe it.

No, he wasn't in his prime at 36 years old, and also his hands were smashed up. If you think Roy fought the best version of Calzaghe, fine, but we'll have to disagree on that one Zarco.

Bernard Hopkins (49-5-1, 32 KOs) never hides his feelings about Roy Jones Jr. (54-5, 40 KOs). He respects him as a fighter and dislikes him as a person. The two have never gotten along. That's why it took 16-years for the two sides to reach an agreement for a rematch of their 1993 encounter, which Jones won by decision. On Friday, an agreement was reached, and signed by both, to fight in the first quarter of 2010 [details]

Hopkins has not exactly been knocking guys out left and right. In his last three fights, he fought three smaller men. Two of them moved up two divisions.

Roy may simply be good enough to have tried to fight on. In retrospect, it may have been foolish, but he tried. Roy looked weird to me in the Calzaghe fight, in spots. Looked kinda frozen at times. Can you agree that he could have been more active? It simply was a mess of a fight. The cut didn't help. Think it was his first, or at least on that scale. And he didn't just beat Lacy, he toyed with him. I like both Jones and Hopkins myself, so it is out there.

I think it was his first I cant remember. In his prime a fighter was lucky to touch him let alone land a good solid hit that stunned him.

vs Calzaghe he should been more active, yes. I said many times if he had his legs even an OLD Jones could/would beat Joe. Obviously he didn't have them. Age and being overwhelmed with a cut had much to play in that. A long with Joe being one of the best in terms of conditioning.

Yes Roy toyed with Lacey longer than he had too. He just let the crowd get what they wanted which was a show.

IMO in Roy's prime. Lets say right after his first "loss"/DQ, I think he ("RJ") would have embarrassed the no name (Calzaghe) at that time.

Fast forward to today you have an old(er) yet still FAST Roy Jones and an older crafty Hopkins. I give both a chance.

Would manny pacquiao accept that flor a Mayweather fight?

[MARKBNLV]

The version of Calzaghe in the latter part of his career is better than what you might call a 'prime' Calzaghe.

Everybody overlook the fact that Jones doesn;t only lose to pressure fighters. If Tarver is a pressure fighter then I do not know what to say. Hopkins TKO 10.

Hopkins stopped being a pressure fighter once he started actually fighting people his own size.
Hopkins have trouble with fighters with good handspeed

Calslappy
Taylor

3 losses...

Whens the last time old ass 45 year old Hopkins pressure anyone? He's be in the middle of the ring most of the fight and picked apart..
