    Hopkins did not fight Joe when he was middleweight champion because he was waiting for his contract with King to run out. It did not matter if they offered Hokins $6 million he would have increased it again. Hopkins was waiting for the golden goose in Oscar De La Hoya. So although B Hop earned less he did make more in the long run.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    No one bought Roy as a serious contender at that point in his career. The fight was a joke. "Well they didn't fight when they were in their primes at 168, so lets have them fight now." Meaningless fight IMO.
    Actually that's not true. Lots of "experts" and tons of fans picked Roy to win (don't shoot the messenger, but this can be backed up with evidence, just saying).
    ....same "experts" who picked Tyson over Lewis I suppose

    So many experts are hyping up the fight. Thats there job. Hype creates interest.
    Who cares anyway we all know the truth.
    Clinton woods fought the jones calzaghe should have fought but the story is already written.
    Jones will call anyone out after them knockouts he recieved!
    I thought natural progression in life is too move up, better yourself and take risks.

    A prime RJJ would toy with JC.
    That invisible chin of RJJ would reappear and JC would be happy to just go 12 rounds knowing he hanged with a legend.

    RJJ in my opinion never had to prove he had a great chin, as his game was to hit and hop it he never
    really engaged in toe to toe stuff. Jones relied on his reflexes, and speed, he was not a fighter I never
    really took to, I can say I never really enjoyed watching him fight.
    His style of fighting is not for me, as with Hopkins not for me it's down to your taste , I do like Mayweather and Mosley. As with all things in life, if we all liked the same things it would be boring.

    Just to reply about the comment regarding Richie Woodhall, yes he comeback vs Markus Beyer but he still lost points wise but quite a margin atleast 3 or 4 points. And he barely survived the 3rd round and when i mean barely i mean barely. If the round was 10 seconds longer, Richie Woodhall would of been stopped by a feather fisted fighter.

    Richie Woodhall was a good Amateur but he never really produced the good's in the pro ranks. Fair play he won a world title but his short reign was very unimpressive, a total gift decision vs Glenn Catley and being floored by a Vincenzo Nardiello who come into the fight on short notice is not that impressive.

    Don't get me wrong i like Richie Woodhall, he seems like a decent bloke. But he never really produced in the pro ranks IMO.
