    Hopefully sooner rather than later. I don't want to see him hurt or suffering from dimentia later in life.

    It's quite possible that Roy did get the message after the Lebedev KO, what he's been doing since then is actually pretty harmless. The guys he's fighting pose almost no threat even to him, and he's still very much an attraction in the places he's fighting. If he just wants to feed his ego, still get that rush of fan support and being in the ring, I don't see the harm. If a washed up fighter starts doing charity exhibition bouts nobody would be up in arms about it, and I don't think this is to much different.

    Good points. I just worry because his punch resistance has diminished and so has his stamina. He had Ledbedev shut out before he became exhausted and was knocked out. I hope you are right about him not harming himself buti just think it will end bad if he keeps going.

    Its seriously like watching 'Superman' be content to impersonate Aquaman devour canned tuna in a stairwell with a plastic fork by candlelight

    The fact he is content with this circus speaks volumes, and its the guy who berated Paul Williams for "risking permanent injury and looking shot so must need to retire" vs Lara. Fuck Roy, and he will be called on what he is entertaining as record padding, no different from all before him. He needs to get out healthy and proud and get over himself, or at least live with it.

    It's sad but I'm glad he's only fighting the Courtney Fry's of the world now and staying away from people who actually give him further brain damage.

    Exactly.... RJJ is on the RJJ world tour. While RJJ isn't winning like B-Hop is at this stage of his career, he certainly knows more in-ring tricks than B-Hop does and tries more than B-Hop does.

    A lot of people turn in to see RJJ just to see his wizardry. He certainly does seem jealous of B-Hop and Tarver, to a smaller extent. lololol....

    Have to disagree with you on RJJ having more tricks than Hop. No one has more tricks than Hop, he gets by a ekes out wins at 50 mostly on tricks n being clever.

    I don't see this fight being on US TV. I know it is going to be a stinker but boxing has been slow enough lately where I'll watch anything.

    B-Hop is fundamentally sound. But tricks is what I mean in terms of "Showmanship"... has B-Hop ever ko'd a man with both hands behind his back? Did B-Hop make a mockery of Jeff Lacy? Did B-Hop dance in the ring before he smacked you? Did B-Hop ever do a chicken dance, tapped both of his heels, did a shimmy before he whacked you and moved out of the way?

    No!

    If I've said it once, I'll say it again - If Roy Jones was Superman then Bernard Hopkins is Batman; he has tricks and gadgets in every pocket.
