Roy Jones Junior said he would not fight Bernard Hopkins...

After the Hanshaw fight RJJ said that he wouldn't fight Bernard because of something he did. Does anyone know what it was? I am a big RJJ fan, but at this state in his career Hopkins is the only one left that I would like to see him fight, so I was disappointed when I heard him say that.

i think it will just be an excuse rjj would get ko by bhop imo and im a big rjj fan and i dont like bhop much

I think they are both being petty and childish for some time now about their second fight which will happen if they throw their dummies out and acted like adults.

Hold on there just a cotton picking second. Roy make an excuse? Never! :Sarcasm:

Hmm would it be interesting to see right now? I think Hopkins would win this match up now at this time, but will it live up to the hype? It would be a great match as Hopkins waits for Joe Calzaghe to face Mikkel Kessler.

Hmm but it looks like we will never know now….

First of all i use to love Roy Jones but over the last year of so he been talking a lot of garbage for a man that been knocked on a$$ twice. He lost all three Tarver fights, didn't want to fight in the third fight and got knocked the hell out by Glencoffe Johnson ;D and i am just plain sick of him! He don't want to fight B-Hop not for something he did, but for something he would do if they fought and thats Whopping Roy A$$. Won't you go to Hell Roy! >:mad

? wow…. I like the way you type liek, also the way you type Hopkins. Really funny to me actually!

Hmm I cant see why Hopkins would not fight Good Old Joe. I mean he must feel Joe is going to beat Mikkel. If Mikkel beats Joe, I doubt Hopkins will face Mikkel cuss it seems his mind is set now on Joe. I guess the favors are also on Joe but I would not know. I mean he called him out, Joe replied with he can wait.

It's my opinion that Clazaghe n Kessler both beat hop.
Theres a reason Hopkins skipped the super middles to go to light heavy, Light heavy was an easier division to becoming king...simple as.

Steady on Jones won first fight end of 2nd fight Tarver got lucky punch and in 3rd fight he could of easily took Tarver but didn't wana fight what a shame i think Jones was special aswell i mean theres not many boxers who i can say that there pretty much unbeatable in 2 weight divisions and i wouldn't be interested in Hopkins vs Jones fight now few years ago it would of been interesting but not now.

I love Bernard and Roy, but they should quit being such premadonnas and fight. Its all right if they don't though, just as long as Roy fights Glen Johnson in November like his promoter's been sayin and avenges that loss. That would mean that he has beaten every man he's ever faced in the ring. It's the next best thing to retiring undefeated.

the first fight was at best a draw. when a fighter steps into a punch with his eyes open and looking at his target, that's not "luck". was it surprising that it happened so sudden and early? definately. lucky? far from it. in the third fight, RJJ was so afraid of getting hit, Tarver dominated. i just don't see how anyone can say RJJ could have won that fight if even he didn't think he could win. just my opinion though.

Well thats your opinion but Tarver was the one trying to steal the rounds in last 30 seconds imo that wasn't enough and yes it was lucky punch in 2nd fight because Tarver had his eyes closed when he threw it reason why i think he could of won 3rd fight because he looked sharp especially in round 4 and 5 when he easily won both rounds but he was afraid of getting koed and didn't fight but he could of won that 3rd fight had he been more offensive because Tarver was only winning rounds by landing about 9 punches or very low output anyway.

I love RJJ and had Tarver not landed the luckiest punch ever thrown, RJJ would still be considered the current p4p champ. The fact that Roy came back to quickly (Damn him) and got ko'd again is a testimate to his gutsyness. I for one don't care to see him fight Bernard again, I wouldn't want to see either one of them lose.

Thier childish bickering is what keeps them from being able to be grown up's make a buisness deal and make the fight happen. Both of them would rather not fight again than give in to the others demands !!!

jones know hopkins would beat him. the fight would be pointless anyway
