christ Hopkins was demanding $6 million a few years ago.

why would he still fight roy??

[Hitman932]

I want to see Hopkins-Jones about as much as I want to watch somebody suffering and dying from Alzheimers.

As a Dawson fan, I'm hoping he takes on Cloud since Pascal and Dia have the rematch going.

I see Gary Shaw isn't beyond sarcasm, no-one wants to see that fight, I don't think many people wanted the fight to happen before Roy got knocked out. Roy please hang it up. **** you Bernard

[Boxing Scene]

In other words he's telling stupid Hopkins that the fight is a joke and he should be fighting Dawson in the main event. It's an insult hurled at Hopkins/Jones and I don't blame him. If that fight comes off it is ALL that is wrong with boxing these days.

"i will never lose to a white boy!!"

BHop isn't gonna fight Jones for 200 K. Not when Roy just made 4 Mill to get beat up by that New Zealand cat. Executioner vs Adamek, 2010. "I WILL NEVER LOSE TO A WHITE BOY!! TWICE, MOTHA#%^&"

[PRboxingfan]

Hopkins - Jones is a failure of a match, at this stage. It might've been a draw a few years ago, but not at this point. They should just ride off into the sunset.

B-Hop priced himself out of the fight a few years back. And now he wants it again? No thanks! Not interested in seeing Bore-Hop fight again.

BHOP will make Jones look silly. I hope it never happens. BHOP has bigger fish to fry and has shown he can still compete at the top even though he is ageing la Pavlik. BHOP has a few more interesting fights ahead of him yet, 2 or 3 i think!
