In truth-is-stranger-than-fiction news, Roberto Durán is now Shane Mosley's coach

Two of the best lightweights in the history of the sport finally come together! Nice

 

Antonio Margarito DESERVES another date with Steroid ShaMe Mosely. This time a fair level fight. No Juicing Let Vada do the testing. Put a gag on Nazim Richardson's lying mouth so he cannot scream he sees imaginary
plaster blocks again. A level; fight & Tony kicks Moselys Ped's soaked ass

 

It totally amazes me why Bernard Hopkins trusts Nazim Richardson. I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him.
What REALLY happened between Bernard & Bouie Fisher I wonder ?? When I knew them they were more like Father & son We sat & they told stories of their times together . Like when one promotor booked them into a flea bag motel they left & spent the nights in Bouie's car the place was so bad

 

That's exactly it though. He's never been a rigorously devout, cerebral fighter like Hopkins. Presumably it's a little late to start now, or at least unrealistic.
He's always relied primarily on his immense physical attributes. Never been good at adapting. When faced with taller guys with a jab, he didn't figure them out, he had no clue. Which strikes me as the kind guy who doesn't take direction particularly well.

 

Bernard did not want to pay Fisher anymore and chose Nazim because he was cheaper. Hopkins has a lot of money and no kids but is a ****ing cheapskate.atsch

 

I see that, and if I thought he seriously planned to change his style to be better suited to his current attributes, I'd agree. But he's had guidance his whole career, seemingly without paying it too much mind. If he didn't do it then, when he was cementing his HoF place and had an ATG place in his sights, I don't see it as likely he's more motivated to do so now.
It is a little odd to change up now though, with probably just a couple of money fights left in him. Unless he has designs on a Bhop-esque extension I'm unaware of?

 

That's the word in Philly. Hopkins may trust Nazim and Nazim is working well with B-Hop, but Hopkins just up and fired Fisher with no real explanation.

 

I cannot believe that as they were so close Bernard said he owed Bouie a lot he helped turn his life around. If I had to guess I'd say it was that POS Richardson behind that break up
I believe Bernard converted to the muslim religion like Richardson too

 

What's he gonna do get him drunk and hit a horse? ..this isn't just confusing it make the entire world a stranger place.

 

You don't have to run around a ring to be elusive, Duran was a master of stand your ground defense. Saves an old man from exherting to much energy. Mosely can take note!
