Hmm, how much interest would there be in that fight I wonder?

Bernard believes there is. He also stated Roy needs him more then he needs Roy at this point. There first fight was a rather tactical affair. Imagine what it would be like now. I can't see much interest in it.

Bernard, like Roy is delusional. There's fornicate all interest in this fight.

The only fight which might be of interest to me, would be him against Winky Wright, just to see whether or not it was just Taylor who had his number so to speak, but that would be a rather dull affair.

I think a Wright fight would end in much the same way. Winky would take the rounds just by coming forward behind that jab.

Hopkins-Jones would be awful now. Truly Awful. 2 guys standing off each other for 10 rounds and then about 30 punches thrown in the last 2 rounds. If Hopkins is serious about this...... well, I just hope he isn't.

Damn right, no way should Hopkins-Jones Jnr II happen, no one wants to see a nearly shot Jones and an overly cautious Hopkins "go at it" or whatever would happen in that dire spectacle. If a rematch was ever going to happen it should have happened straight after the first fight or near by.

Jones v Hopkins II could create some sort of compubox record for the least punches thrown in a 12 round fight. Imagine how hideous it would be. The fact is Hopkins wasn't big box office before the 2 snooze offs with Taylor I don't see any interest in him fighting anybody from here on in he needs to hang them up.
