I'm absolutely gutted that Bernard has signed to fight Jones's corpse

'I'm 80 years old and I have a 95% chance of avenging a loss, finally. With benefits.'

 

Geezers at Caesars.What a joke sparring session this will be.:tired

 

Maybe you guys just don't understand.


Hopkins don't owe any of you fans ****! He is fighting this fight because he wants it.


But for his entire career he has had to live with Roy Jones talkin cash **** about how he whipped his ass as a young man. Maybe you guys just don't get it... BHop is a fighter. He is also a proud man. He would fight Roy if it was 5 years from now. And I don't care if Calzaghe is in a wheelchair, BHop would sign at the drop of a hat to get him out of retirement...

 

Agreed, it's a shambles of a fight, I cant believe they think people will buy this on PPV

 

"We're ecstatic that the fight was made and we're looking forward to a great event. There's been a long-standing rivalry between two of the preeminent boxers of our generation. This fight will establish once and for all who is the better fighter between Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones Jr. This is the fight Roy always wanted."

:think:roll:

I just hope there is a 24/7. At least that'll be good.

 

Well, that very well may be true. And I agree that he is entitled to fight anyone he damn well pleases. However, PPV?:huh

 

Just like you , other fans are entitle to their opinion. Either boxer can fight whoever they want. That is their right. When people see it for what it is they will voice their opinion. This is just like the Tyson vs Lewis fight. To late for it to mean anything. If you still like it so be it but other don't.

 

i get why bhop is doing it: he wants money and he wants bragging rights. sure, he deserves a soft touch once in a while but please bernard, don't act like this means anything. roy beat you with ease when you were both close to prime, you beating him means absolutely nothing now. you will win, you will likely knock him out but roy still owns the only real victory between the two of you. cash out and retire

 

I think Tyson was still ranked in the Top 10 HW's at the time, it might have even been Top 5. He hadn't been brutally KO'd three times already either. I agree he was shot though.

 

I'm not so sure this will be the mismatch you are talking about...:think :huh :?


I actually think both of these guys will be at their possible best. And I think as a 43 or 44 y/o fighter who puts his ass on the line, he is pretty entitled to fight who he pleases. I am a huge fan of both of them. I am excited to see this.


You will be surprised at how many people actually tune in to see this.

 

Do you really think B-Hop was close to prime in '93? I would say it was at least 6-7 years after that when he reached his absolute prime.
