    The way he beat him was so strong that weight was not an issue...that was pure talent vs lack of.

    60/40 to the winner is fair as it gets!

    Yeah, he does...but he's harping on legacy. He also has said that the only fighter that he feels that he truly lost to was Roy...what better way to seal his legacy?

    I know. I am just saying that was 10 pounds north of Pavlik's best weight which makes a difference.

    I do think that Kelly would have done much better...but I don't think he would have won.

    i dont know why so many people are asking for this fight, the same people will be on hear critising it straight after, this fight would really be bad, to past prime fighters , why dont hopkins fight adamek , and jones should fight dawson or johnson winner, im sorry but if jones still wants to prove himself fight and win people with credibility

    Man **** what Bhop talking about. He's talking that legacy **** any real fighter would hop at the chance to avenge a loss I don't care when it occured. With that said...Bhop don't need him and he don't need Bhop.

    Bottom line, it's in Bernard's hands. If he really doesn't care about the fight, it won't happen. Roy can talk all he wants, but there's nothing he can do in or out of the ring to force it at this point.

    I just think/ hope Bernard isn't showing all his cards yet. There's got to be a part of him that would like nothing more than executing his Royness once and for all.

    Roy should fight the Dawson/Johnson loser, Hopkins can fight the winner and then those two can fight a farewell fight given they both win. Roy's best case scenario = Revenge on Glen Johnson, then finish his career winning the true Lt Heavy title again by beating Hopkins.

    **** that...I wanna see Roy Vs Bhop...cause he can win. He can't beat Chad, tho. Chad is too fast and too active for him at this point.

    dont really belive that do you!, kostya blagged on bout legacy all his career and didnt avenage his loss to phillips, de la hoya talked about avenging his defeat to mosley but never talked bout a tito rematch, both these fighters have made there career without avengaing there results. B HOP dont need to prove anything to roy
