    Can't they settle it over a game of dominos instead of hitting eachother over the head with their walkers?

    No thanks.

    Both are legends and ATG's.

    I would much rather both are retired and have their health intact.

    No thanks.

    Hopkins should have taken the initial rematch years ago. They waited long enough in the first place.

    This would be pretty painful to watch. It would look like they're fighting underwater.

    Their rematch was one of the dirtiest fights I recall seeing in recent years. I actually found it highly amusing watching Roy go dirty (I mean 'dirty' as in fouling and illegal tactics not on his juice 'dirty') on B-Hop and give him a taste of his own medicine which was thoroughly deserved :lol:

    Roy screwed bhop out of a rematch for so long I would pay to see bhop beat him again.
    Plus anyway, bhop is the last of a dying breed that did things the right way.
    Prob never see another bhop in our lifetime.
    Let those old dogs make money. I’d rather see that then canelos soap opera orchestrated bs.

    BHops was the guy fighting dirty. Roy retaliated a few times with borderline stuff but Bernard's fouling was much worse.

    Much better then seeing buddy buddy sparring matches with rigged dec and huge paydays for everybody involved.
    Roy and bhop are real fighters.

    Rigged decisions have been around since they started having decisions.
