Lettuce not forget that on top of wanting a 50/50 split against the much bigger draw and p4p king. He also wanted Roy to come down a weightclass to 168

Being that shook.

Exactly people forget Roy had every title at 175 minus the WBO belt and was the top fighter in the world at the time. They are fighting for Jones' titles so why the catch weight? Why the 50/50 split? lol To a guy he lost too.

As you see friend, Roy is back

And Still

And Still

Music to my ears

 

[Achille]

Full fight.

 

[H.I.M.]

Roy beat him when he wasn't even on his best day and Hopkins wanted no part of him when he was on his best day.

Toyed with Prime B-Hop with a fractured wrist.

That beautiful display of showmanship in the 10th/11th rd as he's landing combos at will while clowning B-Hop

All with a broken wrist.

Then Roy made this big giant natural Light Heavyweight hide out in a dead Middleweight division for over a decade...while all the elite and much smaller fighters were moving up in weight (Roy, Toney, McClellan, Eubank, Benn, Jackson, Collins, McCallum, Johnson etc.) Untill Jermain Taylor chased his ass out the division

After B-Hop gets KO'd by Kovalev...he can come up to Cruiserweight and get this work once again...Roy should win a relatively easy descision with fair & competent officiating holding B-Hop accountable for his fouling...if not a Roy TKO/KO/DQ

One of the more disgraceful ducks in boxing history.

Let's not forget Hopkins gets props for the Middleweight record but if Roy would of stayed at MW Hopkins wouldn't even have that record. lol

If Roy had stayed at Middleweight (which is actually his natural weight class, while B-Hop is a natural Light Heavyweight) it would've probably forced B-Hop to move up in weight and take tougher fights earlier. he would probably have alot more losses and his career wouldn't have unfolded like it has...he owes his career to Roy Jones moving out of the Middleweight division.

Pretty much doing same thing as Joe Calzaghe was doing leaving RJJ name in his mouth but don't make the fight until dude is faded and former shell of himself. Saying Roy was ducking him but they wasn't even in the same division and he wouldn't fight out of the UK at the time.

Your boy got a win tonight and you brehs out here thinking about Hopkins


If we would have stayed at middle he doesn't have a career

Let's all just sit here and think about the good old days pre 2003

Here a song for my main Man Hopkins the Dirtiest Player in the Game.

 

[H.I.M.]

Starting @ 46:00

That bolo left hook @ 46:55



Toyed with 2 prime All-Time Greats

Just KO1'd a 200 lb. Cruiserweight with a body shot at the age of 45

And there are still folks out'chea that believe Roy isn't the greatest boxer of the past 30 years?

 

[Newzz]

At the peaks of their talent, RJJ was better than Hopkins ever was. Hopkins has the better resume and finishes higher on the all-time list.

Basically.

Lemme put it like this

Roy = T-Mac
B-Hop = Vince Carter
