roy jones jr vs bernard hopkins

I actually, sadly, agree.

 

I know Ruiz makes for boring fights but you can't knock Haye for taking a mandatory as long as he goes after Klitschko again afterwards. He'll get double the money for taking a belt into a fight with a Klitschko and he's well aware of it.

Probably a **** fight but I'm interested to see how he handles it. Could tell us a lot about his chances with Wlad or Vitali.

 

Do you think he will go straight for a Klit after this if not who and will he lose credibility?

 

I was worried that the WBA were going to force him to defend against a mandatory again but none of Chagaev, Meehan, Boytsov or Valuev have fights scheduled against each other, as far as I'm aware, and I would have thought they'd need this to sort out who the next no.1 challenger would be.

I can see a fight with Vitali being made. He seems to be running out of opponents and I think K2 are keen to have Vitali face Haye rather than Wlad if they can.

Haye does loose credibility if he deosn't land a fight with either however.

 

I would agree i think Vitali knows injuries/age will catch up with him soon and is looking for retirement. I think he will end up fighting both regardless tbh barring a terrible showing from Haye

 

I had a glimmer of hope for the heavy weight division coming into 2010 but it hasn't really happened yet. Fingers crossed for the second half of the year. Would love to see Haye Vs either K.

 

when you get a chance I want you all to watch Lights Out v. Superman again, 1 through 3via utube. Notice how Roy pulled constantly at his own trunks. What an athlete Roy was, watch him shoot lead rights and leaping, hybrid hooks from the waist down; basically avoiding the orthodox commitment of the pocket. Jones did this for the first 6 rounds against Toney and no one will ever forget the "chicken koop" left!!

 

This wont be on mate.

 

Jones was simply magnificent in that era ('93 - 98)

 

Maybe primetime will get it and if they do hopefully we will have to pay less than £10

Go Mackie!

 

National Geographic are showing some highlights the next day.

 

Jones/Hopkins years too late, but now it better than nothing.

Jones should have re-matched Toney and fought Michalczewski years ago also.

 

You've hit the nail on the head with that sentence. I would be very surprised if I gave it a watch.

 

I think its an intriguing match at this stage of their career's, obviously the smart money is on hopkins but Jones could win it if he stops going near the ropes.
