Sixteen years after Roy Jones Jr. whooped Bernard Hopkins’ ass, the two over-the-hill fighters have signed a contract to face off for one last time in 2010.

“Sixteen years ago they fought each other and went on and made history in their own way,” said Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer. “Each one is considered today as ring royalty. That’s why I think when those two guys are going to fight it will be to determine who will be king of the ring. We went back and forth for so long, but we finally pulled it off. They both signed and they will fight. It will be a truly historic showdown. A lot of people didn’t believe it would ever happen. But guess what? It’s going to happen.”

We would have loved to seen this rematch 10 years ago. Hell, even 5 years ago it would have still been an interesting fight. Unfortunately, nobody cares to see these old geezers fight anymore.

As for a prediction, we’ll have to go with Jones. He won their first fight 16 years ago by a unanimous decision and even though he hasn’t aged quite as well as B-Hop, he still has the style that causes problems for the Executioner.

Bernard “The Executioner” Hopkins (43-years old) silenced critics who said he was to old to fight by easily winning a 12-round decision over the previously undefeated 26-year old Middleweight champion Kelly “The Ghost” Pavlik.

“Ninety percent of the media picked Pavlik,” Hopkins said. “I always appreciate naysayers. That’s what motivates me when people go against me.”

Hopkins won by a unanimous decision, 119-106, 118-108, 117-109 on the scorecards.

“I think this is my best performance — better than Trinidad, better than Tarver, better than Oscar, better than my 20 straight defenses,” an emotional Hopkins said.

Even though Hopkins in 43-years old and might have just put on the best performance of his career, don’t expect him to retire anytime soon.

“Like Martin Luther King said, I’ve been to the mountaintop,” B-Hop said. “I’ve been there about three or four times, and I keep pulling a rabbit out of the hat.”

Hopkins completely confused Pavlik and fought like he was in his twenties again. Brilliant performance by the old man.

Undisputed & undefeated middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik says weight won’t be a factor next weekend when he moves up to light heavyweight to fight Bernard Hopkins.

“Weight to me is not a big deal at all,” Pavlik said.

“I have more energy and more snap on my punches. I still lift weights but we don’t do anything heavy to build muscle mass. I’m running a little more hills to add some muscle to my legs. Other than that there hasn’t been much change at all.”

Pavlik is taking this fight for the money, not the challenge. Hopkins is an old man and will get murdered in the ring when they face off on Saturday, October 18 on pay-per-view.

Middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik is set to face former middleweight and light heavyweight champ Bernard Hopkins on October 18th.

“There’s a deal, but there are a few details to be tied up,” Pavlik’s Promoter Bob Arum said. “But the fight is happening.”

For the fight to happen Pavlik will be moving up 10 pounds to face Hopkins at 170 pounds.

“Kelly isn’t thrilled with the fight,” Arum said. “But one of the incentives he has is that if he’s going to fight Calzaghe after Calzaghe fights Roy Jones, it will be 168 pounds anyway. So it gets him ready for that fight.”

Can’t wait to watch Pavlik vs. Calzaghe in the future. Hopkins is to old and needs to retire; he doesn’t have a chance in hell against Pavlik.
