    He says it's personal in every interview, and for those who are mad at Hop for wanting this fight what's your reasoning? the man (Jones) beat him before he hit his prime, then talked **** the whole time like he beat the best Hopkins. And as far as who ducked who that's all in who you believe, I'am glad Hop is finally getting the chance to settle the score they're both in they're 40's and Hop looked like **** his last time out it's not his fault he aged better. I can't afford it but I'd def get this fight if I could.

    Revenge. But he will still feel empty afterwards because he will be beating down on a shot RJJ where as RJJ dominated a prime BHOP.

    Jones did'nt beat a great Hopkins, and even though Hopkins had more fights at the time Jones had way more experience being of Olympic pedagree, and they're both in their 40's and past their best, it's not Hops' fault he aged better

    He was older than RJJ at the time and more experienced. Could argue he was closer to his physical prime than RJJ was but obviously BHOP was a bteer fighter some years after just like RJJ.

    Roy with a successful amateur career was more seasoned then Hop at that time, trust me fighting as an amateur at a semi-pro level makes a difference

    revenge and it puts the nail in the coffin of Roy's career he had a lot of hometown and handpicked fights. His whole career was basically smoke and mirrors. Roy has a Glass Jaw and is scared to take a punch.

    This is a joke fight. I've seen the exact same scenario played out 3 times before. Jones got his Chin obliterated by Tarver, journeyman plodder Glen Johnson, and an Aussie bum with a buzz-cut called Danny "The Green Machine" Green.

    Hopkins will present him with his 4th and final sojourn to ***** St.
