B-HOp scared of RJJ?

[p4pking]

Have always wondered about this myself, who was more unreasonable in negotiations etc. If Roy really offered a split where 60 went to the winner, at any point in time, and Hopkins didn't take it, I'd say it's possible Hopkins just doesn't want to fight him again.. Don't see why at present, or even in recent years though. Hopkins had an excellent chance against Roy, and still does if he would choose to fight him.

I don't think many people are scared of Roy right now least of all old Bernard Hopkins

I think it is the case like Morales and Barrera that they despise one another so much that they do not want to do business.

I don't know, I think B-Hop is one of the few big names I see RJJ beating. B-Hop is too defensive now for me to believe he would be able to out fight Roy. Roy is a lot smarter than Calzaghe in terms of angles, and he is still faster than Calzaghe. I've always felt that B-Hop is really good at eliminating an opponent's speed, but even he can't eliminate Roy's speed.

The big 1-2 from Hopkins (headbutt and right cross) would really hurt RJJ

I think around 2001, both were scared of each other. Both were to blame for that fight not coming off, as each felt they had too much to lose.

roy was once great, but now just a shadow of the greatness, still hope he beats calzaghe. him and hopkins somwhow have not been able to split 20mill...................lets not forget roy was not prepaired to go 50-50 years earlier to fight hopkins when he knew b-hop would not take anything less on principle... i always saw thst as roys way off backing out the fight back then.......... these guys are always looking to put one over each other on negotiations so much so that they'll never except a proposal from the other
