    He said he wants to fight Glen...He actually said in the interview that he wants to fight him and Tarver both because they have the wins over him.

    Naw, I don't believe it...but he should not be using it as a strong point of his character if he don't believe it either

    Talk is cheap if he really wanted the rematch with Johnson it would've happened already cause we all know that Johnson fights anyone and it wouldnt take a big amount of money to make it happen.

    I would rather see Roy fight a younger credible opponent such as dawson even if he does get his ass kicked , then least he can finally retire, the last fight i want to see is another roy n hopkins banging on about a fight in there 40's which should of been made 10 years ago,

    is there any b hop interview where he say's his career needs roy to be a sucess? B HOP and Roy are already G.O.A.T's in the eyes of many fight fans and themselves, they have both had long succesful careers, im sure they both thing they dont really need each other for legacy or revenge, if these to fight its all about 1 thing money!

    I'm a huge Roy fan...my favorite fighter ever, but I know that he's done as an elite fighter. He belongs in the ring with people who fight at his own pace...he's no Carlito to Bennie Blanco. If people don't want to see him fight whoever he fights they just shouldn't watch...

    Jones pretty much admitted hes done at top level...saying he doesnt care about legacy....hes just having fun....I think we should let him ne, Duran Sugar Ray participated in freak matches, so if it was good for them let it be good for ROy.

    i wont watch, but that dont make me not have a say on the matter, im sorry m8 but you will end up wasting alot of your money on wasted Roy jones PPVs if he does fight people fighting at his own pace, which end up being such a waste of money Prince Badi Ajamu n Omar Sheika PPVs complete Joke, Roy's ducked a hell of alot great fighters, at least end your career against a credible opponent up and coming and give people value for there money

    So dressing up as an obvious joke is somehow worse than slamming the PR flag on the ground or claiming a white boy will never beat me?

    60 to the winner is fair. I guess Bhop has more to bargain with at this stage in their careers but seeing that he did lose to Roy a lifetime ago bring Roy's value up. Is Hops worried, thinking he may lose and getting 40 just doesn't cut it? Roy is willing to take 40 for a loss obviously and the spoils go to the winner.

    Yes. Nard did those things to get inside his opponents head(he also threw a bag of rice and beans at Tito and said it was his last meal). It was all a part of gaining a physcological edge on his opponent. With Tito, it worked like a charm. You could tell Tito was nervous around Hopkins; like he believed Hopkins was out of his mind. His tactics obviously weren't as effective against Calzaghe.

    What was the point of Roy dressing up like a pirate. All he did was make a spectacle of himself and show everyone just how desparate he is for attention. I have a lot of respect for Roy, and I think he was a great fighter. However, it's sad to see him resort to such humliating tactics in order to make a buck.

    Roy would be stupid to take this fight because, despite looking good against Lacy, Hopkins would beat him & Roy knows it! I, like many of you probably are, are sick of this 60-40 bull****! If Jones were to lose against Hopkins, it would play on his mind, make no mistake about it!

    Jones looked the part in beatng Lacy, but Jeff Lacy will never be anywhere the class of fighter B-Hop is! The Hopkins of now would beat a prime Lacy!

    I think this is one of the first times we agree.
