Hopkins Heated at Roy Jones, Will Try To Knock Him Out

Agreed, *** Calzaghe, Everyone knows he's trash.

He ain't no ATG but he aint trash neither.

my bro hopkins dont got KO power tho real talk.

as bad as roy's chin is now hopkins could not KO him.

Hopkins got way more power then Jones that's why he dropped Tarver and knocked out Trinidad when Jones couldn't do either one of those things. He couldn't even knock out Trinidad with a huge size advantage

EVERYONE ho bets on this fight should bet just like Roy and Bernard are. You bet the points, then you bet extra for whoever gets the KO. This is how almost ALL fights should be negotiated.

Not really man, It's a safety issue.

I think if this fight goes the distance they might rob Hopkins if he does enough to appear to deserve the victory. HBO has always had a more cozy relationship with Roy than they have with B-Hop.

I would agree if this was a prime for prime match up but Roy doesn't have enough to even keep this thing close. He'll be lucky to stay on his feet.

Hope that wasn't intended for me. I'm no Roytard. Calling me one would be rather ignorant. I'm speaking from facts. If it is medically possible for him to not have been fully ok after the huge weight loss, then it is very much a fine excuse. He was fighting at an elite level. He got caught while possibly being weaker than normal. If you knew for a fact that he wasn't somehow drained, then ok.

I know he wasn't drained in the second fight when he got KTFO, It was over a year after the heavyweight fight and two training camps for light heavyweight fights later. Also he had a nutritional expert prepare him for the fight. You're not a Roytard but he damn well wasn't drained in that second fight. He just got KTFO. Mackie Shillstone never brought a fighter in to the ring drained.

A tune up fight isn't the same as a sparring session. It is meant to sharpen a fighter/get rid of rust. After the losses(Tarver's), I'd guess they'd be able to come to a monetary agreement. They already had a fight, so it isn't out of the question. Plus, I'd think Tarver would very much like a shot at someone on the level of Bernard, if he wants to try again.

It's not happening guy. If you love Tarver so much why don't you marry him?

I think you missed his point. Roy lossed all that weight for the first Tarver fight. Which by the way he fought evenly. He used the weight as an excuse on that one. Which I think it was a good excuse. On the second fight he got KO'd. Where he had the best personal strength and conditioning trainer in the game. He still got KO'd the weight loss should not of been an excuse for the second fight. That is why Tarver said do you have anymore excuses tonight.

Who's to say he wasn't affected by all that muscle weight loss still. Plus, it appeared like he just wasn't feeling ok mentally. Pretty sure that's what I heard. Take those two, and it is a very good excuse. Not feeling right can take off that edge sometimes. What Tarver said is his own business. Look at Lacy. He looks GREAT! But can he PERFORM? A lot of this is mental, not just physical.

Maybe it is more like would not, instead of could not. I doubt he really wanted to KO the guy.

You're AN IDIOT! You're pulling stuff outa your ass. Where did you see me praising Tarver?
