    That was funny shit from Hopkins.

    Hopkins clearly didn't go to Geography class at school.

    Well to be fair here is what they teach us in school here.

    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    First of all the Europe statement was gold...

    As far as the "shakey stoppage"... Bernard should be ashamed of himself for that remark and thinking that the boxing public is that stupid.

    Just playing the devil's advocate here, and not trying to spoil anyones fun, but he could just be using the example of Roy going over to Australia to fight in his opponents hometown as a justification as to why he never went over to Europe to fight guys in their home towns. You know what I mean? Doesn't necessarily mean he thought Australia was in Europe, maybe he was just trying to illustrate why he never wanted to go to a foreign land to fight an opponent in their home town.

    You can't know B-Hop for being pissed, that's money AND revenge he just missed out on. He COULD fight Danny Green in Australia though and with B-Hop's style I doubt he'd have trouble with Green.

    Yes beanflicker and I figure you're correct but that way isn't as funny

    Jones had visited Australia a few times before, he made a movie there. Australia was not un familiar to Roy Jones Jr.

    I don't understand what you think was wrong?

    Bernard to my knowledge has never been asked to fight in Australia so why would he say 'That's why I never fight in Australia?'.

    Of course he said 'That's why I never take fights in Europe', because that's what he's often been accused of being scared to do.

    It in no way implies he thinks Australia is in Europe, he's just relating Roy's disaster down under to his own career and explaining why he never took up any of those European offers.

    Only an idiot would read it the way you guys are

    Many Americans actually believe we all talk like Arnold Schwarzenegger and often confuse us with Austria!

    BHop does come up with some stupid comments.

    Obviously the fight shouldn't happen, but I honestly feel Roy Jones could still have a better chance of beating Hopkins than Danny Green. Neither fights have much intruige to them, Hopkins clearly needs to fight Adamek or Dawson, or retire.

    South America should read laundry and lawn.

    I thought the stereotype was that Asians did laundry....they are also good at math
