Hopkins: "Jones Should Retire"

Who's Joe Calzaghje?

 

Its sad jones should have never took the fight , Hopkins is right ! people age differently and Roy Jones Jr has nothing left in the tank , whilst Hopkins tank is still half full and he wants to hand JC his ass.

 

Yeah Jones should retire I mean honestly he doesn't have it no more.The way he look Saturday he should honestly hang it up.The first round gave me hope but after that he just got dominated and outworked.

Bernard and Roy 2 would of been nice if Roy had won but to see Roy get dominated that bad i think it's clear this would be a waste of time.Bernard did a hell of a lot better job even though he lost but people still think he won and also he 43 and only lost by a split decision.

 

It was sad to watch Jones plod around the ring like a human punching bag. He is totally shot, if he carries on he will end up with permanent damage. Jones really should have quit after Tarver 1 but I think he really felt he was unbeatable.
Thats why I respect Floyd Mayweather Jnr, he knows that his speed and reflexes wont last forever, so he got out whilst on top. A fighter that relies on these skills have a shorter career at the top.
Hopkins relies on Defence and Ring Savy which is why he can keep going for a little longer, plus he has a chin of iron.

 

hang `um up roy....

Calzaghe is lucky he didn't showboat with hopkins, he would have got stopped, the one time he put his hands down, bam right hand, joke calzaghe was missing with slaps, he would have landed nothing if he sat on his punches.

hahaha

 

It's quite interesting that most people - including Hopkins' own trainer, Freddie Roach - said the very same thing of Bernard after the fight.

How Hopkins doesn't see that the other man was responsible to make an aging man look a LOT older than he actually is beyond belief! When Calzaghe was decked, Roy looked young and fast. When the 100 punches came, he looked old. Even Kessler looked old... Calzaghe makes you look 5 years older...

But Hopkins is classy and right: Roy should retire...

 

What? A big cut is worse than, against Johnson for example, lying prone on the deck for several minutes with your eyes shut?

That one looked scary, career-ending stuff. He got cut and sounding outboxed by Joe but you never feared for his health quite like that.

 

If JC would not have gotten up, B-Hop would be singing another tune, and would be telling us how a RJJ vs B-Hop II would be World War III ( actually did right after the Pavlik fight). Sorry, untmike, one fighter's diagnosis of another fighter doesn't hold water. Many felt B-Hop should have quit after losing going away to JC. B-Hop was getting tired, and overwhelmed, could not throw the jab to keep JC off him, the reflexes of B-Hop were slow, blah, blah, blah, and than came the Pavlik fight, I guess B-Hop's conclusions only apply to RJJ, and not him, LOL! I have said it before, don't take a fighters view about boxing as a holy scripture, because a lot of holes and contradiction can be discovered in their statements. Still and in my personal opinion, BHop is not shot ( physically and mentally), someone else is...

 

If that Cream of Wheat man lookin' muthafukka on your avatar wants to show how bad he is, let him eat a couple of hamburgers, get to 200 pounds, even if he has to wear steel toed boots at the weigh in, and take on Mr. Toney.

 

If Jones had any balls he would go back to Heavyweight and fight his old mandatory Vitali Klitschko who he ducked after the Ruiz farce.

 

Bernard Hopkins speaks the truth.

 

Hopkins is right in that interview

 

"Jones never learned the basics" surprising but I aint goin to argue with B-Hop there.

 

Clancy referred to the two fighters during their fight telecast and the 5th round as Hopkins being fundamentally sound and Jones as athletic but awkward ... Maybe Jones knew a whole lot about the basics but he only spent two rounds jabbing Bernard in the center of the ring ( outlanded him 15 to 10 punches) and the rest of the fight shooting left hooks and right leads, beating the drum in close, always with his own back to the ropes and getting out of the ****in way... Maybe if Roy had fought in a different way ever since he wouldn't need to take all of that from Calzaghe now. Let's face it - Roy tried to surprise Joe with those leading hooks and powershots and only just and he managed to succeed for 1 of 12 rounds... I'm sorry, it almost seems he never learned about the basics.
