@romariol12 you go man, i have the same dream i am 16 at the moment training 6 days a week and running at 5:30 in the morning everyday except sunday, i will be champion one day no doubt, it takes hard work and dedication, prove the haters wrong!
i always had a goal and a dream and one day i was in class and i said i wanna be the wbc champion one day my classmates would tease me and laugh at me what hurt the most was even my teacher would laugh so i told them "just because you cant do something yourselves you guys wanna tell me i cant do something" this has been a dream of mine so im gonna protect it even though i hear "cant".i sacrificed so much. WAKING UP AT 4 AM ON A SCHOOL DAY WILL PAY OFF ONE DAY I JUST KNOW IT. DREAM BIG!!!!!!!!!
Dats real shit rite der, errybody talkin bout his opponents n shit but he gotta fight da #1 contender or his title gets stripped, as far as hopkins went he explained it perfectly, u wanma "fight" but u wanna big bulk of da profit, like he say "u dont wanna fight u want a payday"!!!
Once again white boxing commentator talking shit about a black fighter and not giving him his just due. Along comes a asian dude that only fights guys coming of 2 losses or realy bad fights and then fights them at a catchweight and it's all good...
I have so much respect for Roy that after the Ruiz fight he fought Tarver. Roy had to lose 35pounds to fight Tarver. Any fighter will tell u to gain and lose weight that fast will drain u out. That's what happen 2 Roy in the first fight and Roy still beat him. He said Roy had excuses but he made the same excuse when B-Hop beat him he had 2 lose 30 pounds cuz he gained it doing the Rocky 6 movie. He made the same excuse i was drained it was tough 2 lose that weight he said lol.
Hopskins ran away from Roy for 17yrs,i cannot beleive he had the nerve to say he wanna get 50% or more for a fight with Roy jones,Hopkins you already lost to Roy in ur prime and he beat you with 1 arm,To make matters worst,you want a catch weight becuase u ve been fighting your entire career at middle weight,15pounds lighter,but you want the bigger purse,pleas just tell the public you are scared of Roy jones and stop making silly noises.
I Roy still had that confidence he had man he would have killed Hopkins. Anybody can beat Roy if he doubts himself and is afraid of being KO'd again. Why because he won't open up to fight with fear of getting caught. Hopkins did not want to fight the Roy @ 4:24 when Roy was still on top and confident.
Roy never ducked any opponent I dont care what people say he wanted Ruiz because he would be the second man ever in boxing history coming from a middlweight to a lightweight then capturing a heavyweight title.He fought for his legacy now he will never be forgotten for that.I would've done the same thing.
roy had a different swagger back then:=) this showed roy jones' dominance. a dude that became lightheavyweight champion..tough tough dude..was 100-1 against him..
Yes he does. Roy is one of the realest dudes out there. I heard in some videos ppl comparing floyd to roy, WHAT!? If u listen to them talk, one is full of himself and full of excuses and the other, Roy, is str8 real. Tells it how it is, his plan, common sense. My favorite boxer of all time. 2nd is Shane, it'll be a good fight but I hope shane KO's floyds big mouth.
how? lmao makes no dam sense,hopkins gonna eat him alive,and roy has a say in it to,it's called a rematch,nothing coward bout that,i hate niggaz that talk shit without gettin the two stories smh
why did he stay at middle weight for 20 defenses rather than comin up to light heavy and becoming no1 contender then roy would hav had no choice y should roy hav to do the work he was the top dog the money in boxin then b-hop really hates the success roy has had in his career tbh
do you know anything about boxing?....the 20 title defenses is what made hopkins a hall of famer and cemented his place in boxing history as well as one of the greatest middleweights of all time. secondly he did offer to go up to LH or at another catchweight to fight roy but instead he fought tarver becoz roy was offering stupid terms because he did not want to fight him. just like what mayweather is doing with pacman. the last half of hopkins career has made him greater than roy. PERIOD!
i dint say 20 title defenses was not good i sed why dint he go up and get to the no1 contender spot then roy would hav had no choice but to fight listen to what im sayin m8 dont make ur own stuff up to make u sound right.
are u stupid? if he went up to LH, how the fuck could he have made a record 20 middleweight defenses and become a middleweight legend, its one or the other! RJ was known to run away to higher weight classes to dodge the number one contenders just like he ran away to HW to fight a crappy ruiz! and when he came back down, he had no choice but to fight the number one contender as alot of pressure was put on his, and that was tarver (and we all know what happened there) b-hop knew roy would bounce!
at the end of the day rjj is not half the fighter he was and b-hop is so hell bent on tryin to prove hes better hes gona fight roy after roy got 1st round K.O from some guy cald danny green lmfao tbh u know that roy woulda beat b-hop in primes ow wait he did
"roy woulda beat b-hop in primes ow wait he did"-shows how much you know about hopkins! he was not in his prime, and got better in the last half of his career, something roy admitted.secondly hopkins fights anyone and went through no olympics, junior amateurs or any type of boxing system. straight out of philly penitentiary and fought roy in his 22nd fight. now thats gangster! if you are a true boxing fan you would no roy has a better style but hopkins has a better story/legacy!different styles!
yeah but if bernard loses to chad dawson, they will all discredit dawsons win by saying 'he fought a old man'...typical critics...bernard has already wooped a young pavlik and now knows he has nothing to prove by fighting dawson, he wants to fight roy, because he has been chasing the fight for years and knows roy will now take it as he has something to prove from that fluke first round k.o by danny green...and hopkins wants it 1-1 before he retires.
but do u think its really gona be 1-1 inside b-hop will know and all his fans will know that he beat a shell of roys former self i woulda loved if the got it on 10 yrs ago but u cant blame roy 4 not fightin b-hop coz he had already beaten him he had nothin to gain or prove he wanted to go to heavy weight to cement his own place and legacy
yeah but the same can be said about when roy beat hopkins, all roys fans knew he beat a shell of hopkins and that he was not in his prime. hopkins had to go and hammer those who knocked out roy to prove a point and still never got a shot, yes it would of been better if they had fought 10years ago but dont get me wrong, roy is a great and u cannot take anything away from hopkins, they both did great but different things. p.s. hopkins wanted to fight chad but the pavlik fight was made instead!
if it would be prime v prime, then it will be a roy in his early mid 20's v a possible early 30's...tough call, jones would be faster and hopkins would be clever and craftier, we will never know!
@rizzi2007 dude roy beat him in his prime in 1994 lol bernard was 28 and roy was 24 the question was answered....and roy beat him with a broken hand at that lol
Wow, are u seriously talking down to Roy like that? And if I recall, he beat Tarver coming down the 1st bout. You act like you wouldnt do the same, become the 2nd man in history to move up and capture a HW title. Even the worse heavyweights would give the top LHs trouble cuz of size/power. B-hop himself subliminally said Roy never need boxing basics becuz he was that great, thats why B-hop is fighting him now. Cuz he knows he can win now, NOT b4. Tarver was around the end of Roys career. why?
Becuz the body gets f*cked up moving that high in weight and back down. U have no idea what it does. I mean, glen johnson? Who da f*ck is glen johnson really? U wanna talk about dehydration and shit... Thats like downgrading Oscar when he lost to Pac. Or B-hop to Taylor. No my friend. Even today, if Roy was prime, he'd be at the top. And b-hop at the top too, in MW.
I lost all respect for that faggot hopkins... Roy said it best, hopkins never wanted the rematch, if he did he wouldnt have cried over another 10% of the cut.. Now he waited 17 yrs for roy to fall apart to fight him again. Thats a straight bitch... Good luck to you roy, i hope you whoop his ass again. Cuz how funny would it be if roy, washed up an all, beat hopkins again LOL. But win or lose i got no respect for bernard hopkins.
@hakanipek I had no respect for hopkins before an NOW i have even LESS respect for him lol... The way he fought roy was disgraceful, fouling him the whole fight, takin 5 min rests cuz he cant fight past the 6th rd lol... Disgraceful... To fight THIS version of roy like that shows why he never wanted to fight him again in the first place.. Roy in his prime beats him everytime, an he knows it too
@esem17 You lost all respect for hopkins ha he'd dosent respect you either hell no 1 respects a bitch who hides behind a computer screen talking shit about a world class champion when this said bitch hasnt acomplished anything in his life
@romariol12 you go man, i have the same dream i am 16 at the moment training 6 days a week and running at 5:30 in the morning everyday except sunday, i will be champion one day no doubt, it takes hard work and dedication, prove the haters wrong!

then comes down in weight to fight tarver at 35 years old after 50 fights and he gets "exposed"
