    The fight should happen, 60 to the winner, and then they both retire.

    I really want Roy to retire. If he doesn't though this is the fight i'd like to see him in.

    This needs to happen. 60 to the winner 40 to the loser! This could be great, it does sound like b-hop is ducking...ish. Love roy Jones

    There is no way fathomable that anybody can say Roy is ducking Hopkins anymore. Hopkins said Roy is a shell of his former self but then refuses to agree to 60 to the winner. I love Hopkins but damn he is a hypocrite sometimes.

    Ya I don't get it. It's all greed and ego. I think this should be a 50/50 fight. Hopkins may be a better ranked fighter today, but I doubt he's a bigger name. Call it 50/50 and let the fight happen.

    No way a rematch happens.

    If they even agree on the split, who's going to come up with the money for them to split?

    I doubt HBO go for it. No HBO, no fight. What's in it for them? Both men on the way out, no gain, not even an exciting fight.

    Hopkins would get his chance at revenge, a win by KO, i guarantee it

    But Jones would have the valid excuse that he was way past his prime

    The Lacy win seems to have gone to his head!

    Still, people would buy that one. Roy still has a huge name, while Bernard has a name too and still is an elite fighter. Plus the history and intrigue between these two - trust me, HBO would be in on that one.

    Fantastic find! This should be 50/50 split.

    Hopkins came off much stronger. Owned that caller. Roy didn't do well either.
