Hopkins and RJJ go at it on podcast!!

[skel1983]

Hopkins wants 60-40, RJJ wants 60 to the winner 40 to the loser cant argue with that as Nard aint exactly in the PPV big league and RJJ cant get a slot on HBO without another big name.

Nice find.

[Gandalf]

Jones is hilarious and at the same time talking complete sense.

Jones Jr already beat Hopkins quite decisively. In fact I like the idea of winner takes 60%. All fights should have that kind of motivational factor. Of course, BHop cannot handle the conversation.

i actually wouldnt mind seeing this fight. really should have happened a long time ago though.

I actually would mind because it’s not fair for RJJ who’s well past from his prime and I think he should retire now after schooling Lacy.
I agree they should have fought long time ago even if Roy would have beaten BHop in any point of his career before Ruiz fight IMO.

[Galaxy]

Why doesn't Hopkins want to make this fight? When it was suggested that the winner takes all he disappeared. imo he would be the favorite in this fight & its a chance to avenge his loss.

I agree this fight should have been made years ago (& I would have favored Jones) but I can't understand why B Hop ain't jumping at the chance to show Roy up... RJ even said Hopkins can pick the judges!

[BoomBoom]

Wow, im surprised that Bernard would not accept 60-40, winner taker the lions share. Sounds very fair to me. Roy has more to lose too imo.

Agreed on the motivational factor!

Come to think of it when there are pre fight verbal jousts, I've never heard anyone publicly say "Ok lets make a side bet then big mouth" and put them on the spot right there and then in front of the cameras and fans.

Surely if you think that Lacy was schooled he should fight on, or is it an acceptance that Lacy wasn't a threat and therefore even though he was schooled it was a meaningless fight.

Agree that it should have happened an age ago, some of these fights are just people trading on their name and I believe it's a bit of a let down for the paying public.

[rjj tszyu]

They fought in their primes and Jones won. Why do we need to kow who's aged better?

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Hahaha!!!! This is great!

Do you realise this is a continuation of an old arguement?

I call it ''60/40 Part 2''!

Here's part 1 circa Feb'02

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJbOw_5DPiEBernard should of took the fight then. 60/ 40 would of got his ass kicked

...And Bernard talking about ''a reasonable catchweight'' I really can't tell if he was pussy or just too shrewd beyond reason

Reasonable Catchweight ... Coming from Bernard that shit is hilarious. I love him as a fighter but as a prospective opponent you may as well be negotiating with a brick wall!

[match]

I have no interest in ever seeing Roy fight again. The second he started getting ko'd repeatedly, shut out by Calzaghe, and made it clear he could no longer draw flies to sh!t he lost the right to be in position to make ANY demands, I don't care how many c-level fighters he beats.

[DatsiK]

I've been wanting to see this fights for years! I'll be so happy if it gets made!

I'll be rooting for B-hop if it does.

[rjj tszyu]

Just read the highlights of the interview on fightnews, it seems like Bernard is not confident at all about beating Jones. But that said Jones is the only man to clearly beat Bernard without any doubt being raised afterward, maybe Jones is in Hopkins' head.

[JonesJrMayweather]

"He's having the best time he's ever had in his life at 44 yrs old, cause when we were in our primes Bernard couldn't eat because I was there, so now its his time to eat so let him eat, I'm not trying to stop him from eating, leave him alone, let him enjoy himself. He wants to enjoy that, he wants to live off legacies, i don't care about a legacy. Long as I beat him I'm cool so I don't worry 'bout it. People can say Bernard is p4p the best ever long as when they look at your legacy it will have an "L" by my name"

"I'm not going to pay Oscar part of my money when I fight, and he don't pay me part of his when he fights"

"Go down there and beat up them little guys, you'll beat all them then come make a big a fight with me, then it will be worth your time. Because they want me to beat you, because when I beat you its over for you" -

Roy Jones Jr.

All bias aside, Bernard got his ass handed to him in this little debate...There's no argument for not accepting 60/40 lion share to the winner and BHOP can pick the judges...he's full of shit thinking Dawson or Adamek would net him more money than a fight with as he calls it "a shell" of roy Jones. Bernard is pretty pathetic trying to prove to himself that he's better than roy by bringing up how he did against guys that beat roy when roy was past it. But as Roy said, he didn't beat him.

"Bernard are you there?"

"NO! He gone"

"We started off with Bernard but ended up with-"

"The Truth"


Bernard got schooled...
