Nazim Richardson is in the same category as McGirt, Ronnie Shields and a couple of others with his bull****. He took over Hopkins after Fisher had trained him for years. He didn't improve him in ANY way. With Shane, what has he REALLY done? He beat Margo and all the rest of the fights were shitty. Before every Mosely fight he says the same thing _______ has never seen anything like what we're gonna' do. Between rounds he said, "if you have anything left"... What kinda' **** is THAT? Shane throws so many pitty-pat punches, he'd be a beast working the pads with Roger M.
Richardson's biggest success came when he was helping Bouie Fischer with Hopkins. Bouie was one of the greatest rainers of all time, and is still under appreciated. Hopkins is more an extention of Fischer, than he is Naz. To be fair, nobody could help Mosley right now. Maybe Richardson should become a consultant, a motivational speaker and leave the serious training alone.
For sure. I hate watching Shane fight now, hes so shot and always looks like he wants to quit, but his heart keeps him there. I hope he has enough money saved up so that he doesnt have to fight anymore
**** that ****. For me, it isn't the fact that he couldn't help shane win that pissed me off. It's because of the truly delusional things he said in the last mosley and hopkins fights.
Richardson's best skill is analysing opponents and making a gameplan to exploit the opponent's weaknesses.
As has been mentioned, holding the performance of a shot Mosley against him isn't entirely fair. And he was probably the most active individual in the Hopkins camps well before Fisher formally left, as Bouie's deteriorating health meant he was unable to do a lot of the hands-on training.
