Absolutely nothing to prove with Tito. A rematch with Roy Jones puts an exclamation mark on his career. It's the perfect ending. When they were both up and comers, Roy got the best of him. And now BHop finishes his career by beating the only man that has ever decisively beaten him

Probably Manny Pac - fits the profile - P4P but weighs 45lbs less
He doesnt want to lose every round against Calazage

that was exactly what i would of said,except that its now a 100% apparent that roy is over the hill,so theres no way to suspend disbelief,with tito it COULD(not would) be seen as a fight that could go either way.plus there'd be more money in a fight with tito so that'd be the more likely fight,but in terms of puttin the icing on the cake of his carreer i totally agree the jones fight means more,but the egos make that fight doubtful

If he doesn't fight JC, he should fight Roy Jones. I also think he should try to go to the Heavyweight division and beat a fringe contender in there. No shame if he loses.

It's a great moment to retire I think.

Roy Jones, Jr.
Roy will not fight the boringness of B-Hop! What a boring fight! I'll admit, Roy is far from his prime, but he would still beat down on Hopkins! Atleast Roy is still entertaining...to me!

Roy beat down on Hop? Hopkins would rape Roy at this stage!

Hopkins would beat Roy at this stage in their careers

Its a bit of a high risk not so high reward for Roy, hes already beaten a younger hungrier version of Hopkins so why risk losing to the old man at this stage of hes career?? hes been there and done that.
