Re: So Whats Next For Roy?
He should retire. But like Holyfield he thinks he can recapture past glories.

If these old fossils are gonna continue to fight then I would think Roy-Hopkins is a natural.

Agreed!! I think that a Human Roy is more than capable of handling a Hopkins that compensates his age and erodeing skill with John Ruiz like prescion in the way he holds and hits and Butts and Elbows...
I WAS a big fan of Hopkins but he stepped way over the line against Winky, Wright IMO deserved a draw at best or maybe lost by a round due to fading the last few rounds. There was no way Hopkins won that much of a landslide desicion, obviously a screwjob spurred on by GBP and one of its main officers. So theoretically he just scraped by a fighter that was fighting 15 lbs over his weight and is not known for his KO power. Roy should pick him off with straight rights and make Hopkins be the agressor with Roy countering effectively and scoring the cleaner and telling Blows

Im not trying to be smart but what is the difference between British and English? I really dont know.
As far as Roy , Lennox was koed twice and by bums ,nobody said he was through and rightly so.
As Roy would say "YALL MUSTA FORGOT".. LOL
BTW I think Roy is the coolest fighter ever bar none.
Re: So Whats Next For Roy?
Roy should fight no longer , its sad to see him like this :(

Like what? you act like he is decrepit or something  ::**  Do you even really watch boxing or know what it takes to sustain a level of excellence in the pro's or are you riding the coat tails of other posters that say Roy should retire cause he isint superman anymore ???
Re: So Whats Next For Roy?
prople from England are English... England, Wales, Scotland and N. Ireland make up the British isles, but are still individual countries. Geography lesson over...
As for Lennox being ko'd by two bums, you've gota say he revenged his losses in a big way

Probably run full circle for the both of these guys
It's not the same Roy, He looks timid even in his wins,Also when his back is against the ropes he still mostly just covers up, I truly think if he steps up against the elite he will get knocked out again. One thing is for sure, He needs to stay away from Johnson.
Re: So Whats Next For Roy?
RJJ beat a hungry young fighter in Henshaw easily. He should be given credit for doing so. I would not mind seeing a Hopkins fight,I'd like to see him avenge his loss to Tarver/Johnson? I really dont know,I would not be able to handle seeing a living legend getting beaten up again. Man I miss the old Roy. :-\
Re: So Whats Next For Roy?
As long as evander is not getting killed i wish him the best, i'd rather he'd retired but...........a roy jones-hopkins fight would be nice i think.

CC brother, thanks ,am I the only one that didnt know that? LOL So if you are from England wouldnt you be considerd British since its part of the British isles? I also thought Walse was in England and not separate from it.
Oh and Lennox definatly avenged his losses easy ,even made one cry LOL. and to your point Roy did have one chance to avenge his loss to Tarver and he just didnt throw enough punches. Roy is just not active enough anymore. He must look at the tapes of his last few fights and know this and just cant do it.
I miss the old Roy too. ???

Landon,
People from England are English AND British AND European. However, we tend to think of ourselves as just English.
Unless you're from London, then you think of yourself as a Londoner ;D
Don't worry too much about it. I switch about to whatever suits me best. ;)
Jones & Hopkins is the only fight out there for Roy, IMO. He'd start as a big underdog so there's his motivation and for Hopkins there's the revenge & redemption factor.
Plus I think it would actually be a good fight. Sometimes the old boys turn it on against each other. Hearns Leonard II was a lovely little brawl.

ENGLAND is a country as is WALES, SCOTLAND and NORTHERN IRELAND. for some bizare reason these countries have been lumped together under the banner of UNITED KINGDOM & GREAT BRITIAN. Because of this we cant enter a soccer team in the olympics. i class my self as being ENGLISH, not british, not a citizen of the Uk or Europe, but ENGLISH. If i had my way i would disband the UK and let each country rule their nations seperately. I would also pull out the european union and tell george bush to take a run and jump.
Re: So Whats Next For Roy?
Roy seems to want Tito. I'd happily watch it if it happened as it could actually be a great fight. Neither are what they once were so lets see what they have left. Hopkins is another natural fight. Why doesn't Roy fight Winky?
