    Roid's cocks put on better fights than he does. Roid had some prize cocks, but got into trouble with the law because **** fighting is illegal.

    Would be interesting to see what they both have left. 2 years ago I would have picked Hopkins. Now I'd put my money on RJJ. I hope the fight happens and soon.

    I'm very interested to see what happens when Roy tries to land a septuple hook on Bernard.

    I agree with his Paquaio comments.

    But Jones during his prime hardly made the sport exciting. matter of fact, he is one of the boringest great fighter I have seen. Hopkins is just a tad more boring than him. Both of them suck, bigtime.

    You gotta be kidding?

    RJJ was one of the most entertaining fighters there has been. End of.

    What?! You have to be the one kidding me. Jones was so boring, matter of fact he often times got booed by the crowd.

    He was always showboating, yes but that was hardly entertaining.

    Entertaining my ass.

    If I was trying to get somebody new into boxing, I certainly wouldn't be showing them Hopkins fights to get them hooked.

    Guys like Hopkins, Wright, etc. Well they are more of a connoisseurs choice. You have to appreciate the finer points of the sweet science to understand and enjoy their fighting styles. Average Joe in the street, just wants to see 2 guys going at it full pelt for 12rds or until one gets (ideally brutally) KO'd.

    Bhop's right followed by his lunging head is very impressive.

    Agreed, thats why he never really had good PPV numbers, ppl didn't want to watch a fighter showboating all 12 rounds, especially when he could have easily KO'd the guy!

    Roy is more talented than most, but he ain't no PAC himself, when it comes to entertaining, enough said.

    lmao... I'd like to see that too. :yep
     
  13. the fight game has changed, these clinical scientific boxers just arn't good for the game anymore. the mainstream just have no idea what theyre seeing.

    Roy has a point too, bhop isn't an exciting impressive fighter. puts the fight fan general sports spectator to sleep due his ignorance.

    from an educated standpont i know better,

    its almost a standard combination now,jab,hook,head he's quite the innovator no?

    still prefer too watch a jones fight than a hopkins fight,jones has said it should be a 60/40 purse split the winner takes the higher % sounds fair to me...

    and lets not pretend that this fight would'nt generate the money/audience because it would be massive regardless of there age,you know this to be true!

    just fight him bernard y' clown even if its only to shut him up!

    To put Wright in the same sentence as Hopkins in terms of being boring is absolutely ridiculous. Wright moves forward all the time, throws non stop punches and rarely clinches - Hopkins is the absolute opposite.
