Hopkins and RJJ go at it on podcast!!

[Taeth]

I think these guys hate each other so much that they will not fight one another again. Similar to the fact that there will be no EM v MAB IV.

The thing is that money is the most important thing to these two. Otherwise hating the other person is the best reason in my mind for wanting to fight them. Who wouldn't want to be paid to hit someone you hate?

Exactly. It's a rivalry.

Tbh, Hopkins just says what everyone here has been saying for months. Adamek, Dawson & Williams are all far greater challenges & names at this stage for his career. That Roy is still fighting is a crying shame. Yes, he beat Sheika & Lacy, but his fall from the fighter he once was is tragic, particularly as there are 'fans' who encourage another of our greats to fight well beyond. It's the same as people who claim that Hatton would beat everyone bar PBF & Pac. Jones dressin up as a pirate is the greatest evidence of how far he has fallen

That's the best you can come up with? Weren't people saying if he hyped fights like that in his prime he'd have been even bigger?

That's the best I can come up with??! You really thought that was good promotion?? The fact is Jones can sell himself well, using his mouth, he doesn't need to dress up like a dick to do it. Yes, in his prime he didn't want to do much to promote his fights, but all he had to do was spew off a few minutes worth of stuff similar to that podcast & he woulda been good. Dressing up like a pirate now just makes him look desperate, people would say the same thing if any boxer did that to try & promote a fight

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Desperate Thats a new one.

It is a bit like Hatton v Witter. Ricky hates him so much he does not want him to have a pay day.

I used to side with BHop on this but now after actually hearing the conversation between the two instead reading quotes its clear that BHop knows even RJJ at this point doesn't bode well with his style. Saying Dawson or Adamek would be a better fight is useless to counter with because BHop said he would take the RJJ fight if he can get 60% but BHop doesn't want the fight if 60% goes to the winner. He is either very uncertain of himself and/or he just wants to avoid the fight by way of overpricing.

[Fenster]

That was worth the listen

Hopkins made himself look like a complete mug. He was on that show to promote Diaz-Powderpuff yet ended up putting the phone down before fully plugging it and his time was up.

Hopkins just showed LEGACY means fuck-all compared to money. If he really wanted to avenge the loss to Jones why not make the fight? The way Hopkins carries on anyone would think he has the win over Jones.

Too right.

Hopkins looked like a prize prat. Jones is obviously in boxing because he likes it, Hopkins is an old git doing it for pay days. Take the fight BHop, after all if you win you have 60%.

But then again, he isn't so sure of himself at all is he now?

[OumaFan]

Pfft, beating Roy at this point wouldn't do anything for his legacy anyway. Nobody would act like they were really even, like Bernard's win now would be equivalent to Roy's win, and rightfully so, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Beating Adamek for example would do more legacy wise.

And Miles, seriously? Jones is in it for the money. That's exactly why he wants Bernard.

I don't think Hopkins is scared to face Roy again.

I honestly think he would see getting paid MORE than him a bigger victory than actually winning the fight.

...have a tournament with all these old fighters let them fight it out and them make them all retire. Hopkins is a guy who out of his last six has lost three, while jones is beating up on omar freakin shieka and others not much better and neither can beat calzaghe. This retarded argument is about 10 years too late. I'd like to see both go away, and take holyfield and james toney with you. Anything other than either of them saying they want to fight dawson is just blah blah blah...
