    I'm still hoping that somehow RJJ beats hopkins... I just think that would be so hilarious... I don't dislike or like either fighter..> I just think the commentating afterwards would be priceless... RJJ would for sure come out with another "hit" single...lol

    Hell no, he still has plenty enough left to get beat by a couple more people. Maybe a montell griffin showdown again. Can't be any worse than this b-hop garbage. I'll be pullin for an omar shieka rematch as well.

    Not at all, he has a right to box and make any money that comes his way. If he scrambles his brains then that's for him to decide.

    Of course we as the general public can choose not to watch. I think the last Holyfield fight I watched was vs. Larry Donald in 2004 and the last RJJ fight I seen was Calzaghe.

    Definitely no. He shouldn't be deprived a source of livelihood. But he should be fighting low caliber boxers, anyone way lower than B-Hop.

    I think if Roy is KO'd, he should at the very least be denied his license in the States, similar to how New York banned Evander from fighting anymore, and Evander has fought fewer pro fights and his KO losses were not nearly as brutal. Yes, Roy has a right to make a living, but states have a right to deny someone as well. I mean do you really want to see Roy like this again:

    No they shouldnt

    If he was getting hammered from pillar to post every other week then sure. But he is still capable of defending himself and competing inside a boxing ring.

    To be fair to Roy, I dont think he's in THAT big of trouble against B-Hop. He got caught by a perfect punch from Green and went down. Hopkins is not a big puncher, and doesn't have that big 1-punch power like Green.

    That being said, I still agree with you that Roy needs to hang them up bad. Its like Leonard, Robinson, Ali, ect at the end of their careers. They relied so much on reflexes and speed. Once they begin to dull, its a scary situation.

    Nobodys ever in serious danger with hopkins are they

    sure he`ll get taken to school for 12rounds and made to look rather silly and no doubt bernard will claim this now somehow makes him the greatest fighter of the 90s!

    As fans of roy jones we all want him to stop. But lets take into account here he has a family and children to support and the second he does hang those gloves up he`ll never make that kind of money again!!

    Hopkins does a worse job on fighters than anyone. He never blasts them out, he slowly methodically beats them till they've got nothing left. Echols, Trinidad, Pavlik & Taylor are all fighters who've looked different men after he's through with them. I worry more that Hopkins will be vindictive & slowly break all that is left of Roy before KOing him flat in the late rounds.

    In answer to the question, no he probably shouldn't, but I wish they would. It's sad to see him like this.
