Roy Jones Jr vs. Bernard Hopkins Rematch (to little to late)?

Question

With Jones comming off his win over Trinidad a while ago and bernard hopkins fighing vs Cal in two weeks.

Theres been speculation that if hopkins wins that jones will try to pursue him for a Long awaited rematch.

Whether hopkins wins or not i still believe jones want the rematch.

Is it just me or do people agree that if this fight were to happen its just to d**n late and a waist of time. Dont get me wrong i mean it will be ok but if this had happend 4-6 years ago THEN it could be a HUGE deal. I think they should just put up the gloves.

Comments, Opinions All welcome

Answer 1

the only reason roy would fight bhop again is for the money. He already beat him literally "single"-handedly. So there's no point. They're too old.

Answer 2

I do agree with everyone that it is too late for this rematch but sitting here thinking about it i believe that this is a match that will end up being made, soon i cant see that either of these fighters will have anywhere to go and the fight between the two will maybe be a last big payday for both and we all know that the promoters dont miss a trick when there is some money to be made. It will probably be on the undercard of Mayweather Vs De La Hoya III.

Answer 3

Roy has to fight the winner of Hopkins - Calazaghe for the fight to be relevant. There is no point in fighting Hopkins if he loses to Calazaghe.

Answer 4

Nope. It may be a little to late but look at it this way. Hopkins is pretty old now, and like you said, it could of been a big deal if it were to happen 4-6 years ago.

Answer 5

way toooooo late

Answer 6

Why will Roy pursue him , he already defeated Bhop ,

if anything is Bhop who should try to pursue the rematch.

but i agree this fight is a waste of time. Not interested

Answer 7

Too little too late i say. i probably wouldnt watch even if it was for free on HBO, but maybe i would, i just see no reason why they would even fight anymore. me personally, if they do fight each other, i would look at it as a disrespect to boxing fans because they arent stupid, they know their skills arent the same as it once was but they still know that their name would still sell, so i think that if they do fight, it'll be simply for the money and nothing else, so thats where i stand on that.

Answer 8

to little, way way to late.. move on!

Answer 9

i agree with the general consensus here, it's too late, and if it did go ahead, it wouldn't be a very exiting fight anyway.
