Bernard Hopkins giving fodder to the media

[El Kabong]

On the now "controversial" stoppage of Roy Jones Jr. "That's why I never go over to Europe and fight anybody"

That brings back memories of Mike Tyson's golden "I'm going to fade into Bolivian"

[Southside Slugger]

I knew he would make a case for Roy so he could try to justify staying with his plans to fight him.
Why would he fight Green ,tougher fight for less money and if he wins he beat a nobody on his resume.

Yes but the point of this thread was to poke fun of Bernard thinking Australia is in Europe

lol. I did not even realize this. Funny how so many people make this mistake. I heard him say it but I had no idea the fight was in AussieLand
To make matters worse, Austria is in Europe that can confuse anyone in a minute

Isn't Australia where the Brits send all of their pervs?

maybe the bhop- RJJ fight could still happen?

[JonnyFolds]

I like how Hopkins has more faith in RJJ fighting him than Jones does. I mean, this could be a really big challenge for Jones....

If Hopkins still tries to make this fight happen I will , at every chance I get, call him a pussy. I think if he though the division was dormant last year this time, things have most definitely taken a turn for the better.

Let's run through some quotes... not verbatum...
"I don't want to fight Dawson bc I don't want to ruin the young up and coming talent in the division."

"Jones, an all time great should not have been stopped like that by that ref. I mean he's a ring legend. He deserves to say when he quits or when he gets knocked out. Most of those punches missed from what I see" ...sorry BHop, but you need glasses...

I hate to say it, but if you still want the RJJ Hopkins fight to still happen, you need to check your head. RJJ will come in a 10-1 underdog.
