    You know i just got finished listening to this radio interview by bhop... for those of you who missed it

    http://www.975theticket.com/TicketO...yPodcasts2/tabid/807/ItemId/1078/Default.aspx

    here it is... but anyways bhop was talking about facing either adamek, dawson or paul williams..

    i mean i would enjoy seeing a paul williams fight because i am simply a paul williams fan but i think realistically.... for the entire boxing world the stakes of a bhop vs roy fight would be so high that i think there would be a huge group of people that would want to see the fight.... its clear at this point that neither guy is completely washedup and still pretty capable and they have so much unfinished business....

    in the interview roy said he would fight 60 to the winner & 40 to the loser.....and bhop said he wouldnt do that.... its pretty interesting stuff.. anyways I think bhop vs rjj II is a throw back fight...

    Ya this fight will bring out the best of what Hopkins has left and the best of what Jones has right now. They're gonna be fighting with their hearts in this bout.

    i think he proved in his last fight that he is not "COMPLETELY" washedup... obviously he is not his old self but he is still capable

    this fight has been brewing for so long that it would be interesting to watch.... i mean one guy was one of the best fighters of the 90's & the other was one of the best fighters of the 00's

    career wise they are tied because one rules when the other was coming up... and the other ruled when one was going down...plus truth be told at the end of the day roy does have a win over bhop

    If I were Hopkins, I'd be going for Adamek to put a nice new shiny weight class title on my resume. Just to **** Roy off.

    why doesn't bernard like the 60-40 winner/loser split? I think it sounds very fair..

    do you really want to see hopkins vs adamek?

    i dont know you should listen to the interview... its interesting.. at one point the radio guy asks bhop if he would do winner takes all and bhop just says "goodbye" then hangs up

    It's not that simple. Roy's career and legacy is better IMO. He won more titles than B-Hop in more weight classes and his resume is better. Plus he is the first MW in a 100 years to win the HW title.

    Easily. No other opponent they fight is going to generate nearly the same kind of interest.

    Listen to the radio show, BHOP clearly wants none of RJJ
