Who's fault is it that opkins vs Jones 2 didn't happen

How is a 60/40 split over a fighter you previously beat a bull**** offer? :-(

 

1. The reason if you actually even attempted to do any research Roy said multiple times: he wanted to emulate Bob Fitzsimmons, look it up.

2. How the **** do you know he didnt want to fight Byrd, do you have any proof?

3. He offerd Lennox Lewis a fight, yes he would have been Layed out. But Lewis knocked him back.

4. How the **** would you know if Jones had a glass chin at that time, he had only been down once, and was not phased by any of the shots Ruiz clipped him with.

 

And no one in their right mind thinks Roy was a DLH....
BUT he was the PFP KING at the time and yes that means he was the bigger name....

60/40 AND I WHOOP YO ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More than a fair offer....

 

He had beat him like 10 years earlier. Clearly, Hopkins was different fighter than he was back then. That fight was basically irrelevant. How is 60/40 fair when Roy's fights were putting up **** numbers? The fans had started a Roycott. Hopkins represented the most legitimate threat to Jones at the time. The fight was guarenteed to be a big seller, and Hopkins' name and status would've been a big reason why.

 

Irrelevant? Hardly... the win does matter.

Jones was the P4P kingpin at the time. 60/40 was more than fair. And maybe Hopkins did pose the biggest threat, but he should have accepted the offer and proved it, but his stupid ego got in the way.

 

8 years

Hopkins would have made a carrer high pay day on 40%. He took a significant pay cut to fight Daniels compared to what he would have fight Jones.

 

As I already said Ruiz had not had a KO in 5 ****ing years before the Jones fight. Why do you Roy nuthuggers make Ruiz out to be some type of power puncher or KO machine? Ruiz is plodding and slow and was no threat and Roy knew this and that is why he handpicked him. Ruiz was the least threat of the beltholders at the time do not try and tell me Ruiz was more of a threat than Byrd Ruiz has no skills and we all saw what happens when Ruiz is forced to fight within the rules. Ruiz sucks and always has.

 

Nobody is making Ruiz out to be Ali, but give Jones credit for going from middleweight to heavyweight to fight an ex beltholder. Only a true hater of Jones could not respect what he accomplished.

 

Hopkins fought its very simple Roy beat his ass pretty easily once with 1 hand and deserved 60-40. Jones didnt need Hopkins that bad.

 

I'm sorry but Hop has never been a draw, so yes Jones deserved more money. Jones was the one bringing in the money and probably the PPV sales. Plus he already beat him before, and you know as well as I do that Jones would have won that fight. Hop always looses his big fights. But what does he always say to have everyone fooled "I dictyated the pace of the fight and i ENDED stronger." But he forgrts boxing is not a 4 round fight

 

Seriously, you Roy fans need to stop repeating this tired ass line. Just because Roy said that **** doesn't mean it was a fair offer. And just to show you how full of **** Roy is; after got startched and was at the low point of his carreer Hopkins offered him another fight. This time Hopkins requested 60/40 in his favor. Now Hopkins was the bigger draw and the higher rated fighter. Not surprisningly, Roy turned it down.

 

Byrd and Ruiz are on a level. The fact is if Jones beat Byrd, which he would have people would just have said he beat a blown up MW.

The fact is you are a hater and would have downplayed Jones's victory either way.

 

Who else was he getting big paydays against?

 

:good You beat Tito and you deserve the world. But Jones beat Toney and HIS ASS and still wants 50/50 doesnt make since
