BHops-RJJ makes sense for both of them. There both equally old, RJJ is more past his best but has the style to beat BHOPs still, I'd buy it
I wish both Jones and Hopkins would retire, but if they continue on, fighting each other makes the most sense. Good payday, no one gets hurt, etc.
Jones needs to fight Calzaghe ... Hopkins v Jones II is going to be boring ... its going to have all the pre-fight hype in the world, but lack the action in the ring. Hopkins should retire ... there's nothing much he can do at this point ... he lost 2wice to Taylor and lost to Calzaghe ... that totals 5 L's and at 43 ... he has nothing left to accomplish --
I really dont have the desire to see Hopkins in the ring again. He's a legend and I don't care if he continues-I just don't want to watch his boring bouts anymore. And if he were to continue another beating of Tito is one of the last fights I'd want to see.
Bernard Hopkins is a ***** for Golden Boy Promotions. Schaefer is his personal PIMP. Hopkins knows that theres big PPV revenue to be made off of either fight. Personally, I''d love to see RJJ school his Aunt Esther looking ass again. :deal
altho i don't particularly care for bhops fights anymore, considering he just almost beat calzaghe, hopkins is still relevant to the lhw/smw division. jones is trying to position himself at the top of the heap, so jones/hopkins appears to be a viable fight for this reason alone. hopkins tito is a pure "money grab" as it does nothing for hopkins and probably nothing for tito also.
It really amazes me how you guys can say such things. According to what Antwuan said, Zale-Cerdan, Marciano-J.J. Walcott, all those fights stink (?)... Dude has the skill level to compete with a non-stop whirlwind puncher, flashy, fast-handed and mobile boxer in JC... He did well to clinch that much against both Winky and Joey... He should fight Roy but I can't really say that Roy wants Hops.
