    Roy doesn't want to retire if his agility and speed are still there, he still has blinding speed to fight a couple of more years.

    Roy got so much more class than bhop. Grabbing, holding & head butting ain't skill. This arguement is way better than the 1st.

    Roy was doing these type of things long before Hopkins ventured out the middle weight division .

    Hopkins is old & holding on, wishing he had the skill Roy had. Roy has never had to do what Hopkins has had to do to get a win. Roy has used his hands not his head.

    I think Hop knocks Jones out this time. Jones is too far gone...imo. I'd root for Jones, but he is just too far gone... This is a fight worth seeing. If Jones is serious, he should not demand 60% to the winner, 40% to the loser. That isn't how boxing goes. Take the 40% Jones, Hop beat both guys who knocked you out, and has the bigger, most recent wins, and he looked better than you against Cal. Take 40% and try to win one more for the Nallster lol...

    But Hopkins ain't a draw at all not even close. Roy Jones put people to seat. Jones has a win over Hopkins and Jones is a promoter while Hopkins isn't. <<<<<So in business sense 60 percent to the winner is clearly fair.

    Ray, people have this image of Jones being ko'd twice, and losing to Cal. The win over Hop does not carry weight anymore. People think of Hop as a great fighter, and have forgotten about Roy. Ray, I'm with you on your points, but Roy should just take the 40% which will be a lot of money anyway, and he can redeem himself a bit with this win.

    You obviously do care otherwise you wouldn't be getting upset about it. It's up to you whether you see the comparison or not.

    No he didn't.

    Imagine you're P4P number 1 and considered one of the top 20 boxers in the history in the sport. Then one day you're fighting Shieka and Jeff Lacy on ppv because no network will pick up your fights. How sane would you be? :!:
