Bernard Hopkins held his own very well against that drunkard Larry Merchant!!

When did he ever NOT defend himself well? I'm going to miss this guy when he retires. He's the best interview of this generation along with Toney. But you can't understand half the sh*t Toney saids.

 

I remember this fight well
and also b hop's exchange
the fight was comedic
but I dont fault hopkins for taking it, hell he had just beat trinidad

 

He didn't say he would never get paid again, he was talking about getting paid to fight some joke like Hakkar and he was right. That garbage had no business on being on HBO, hell it had no business being on Best Damn Sports Show

 

I liked the team of Gil Clancy and Tim Ryan. Just professionals doing their job and knowledgeable about boxing. On the other hand, at some point someone should have pressed RJJ (maybe not right after a fight) about his list of below average opponents at some point. It makes it much harder to really know how good RJJ was in his prime. Obviously he was really, really good and did beat some top fighters, but he could have made it a point to fight some of the other beltholders.

 

oo larry went in hard!

 

Wow...was Merchant a dick there!
Why being so rude? Hopkins did what he had to do...like it was is fault that guy was his mandatory?!
Why so much hate from Merchant??

 

HBO loves a good bandwagon, they always talk **** on fighters when it becomes popular to do so and suck their dicks when its the same

 

RJJ went to Lht Hw and was taking peoples belts. And did so in dominant fashion.

 

if it wouldn't be for oscar he would of fought guys like that t'il the end of his career ,simple as that!!!!

 

I suppose he didn't mind the eazzzy money

 

Oh yeah he's a sharp geezer for sure, there's no flies on Bernard.
Sometimes shoots himself in the foot but he is what he is....
