    This seems like a play out of Bernard Hopkins book, he is the master off getting inside people's head before a fight. I keep thinking that this was Bernard's idea as he is contemplating the idea of fighting mayweather. Check out the weight in, bernard is next to floyd the whole time talking to him and stuff. After Bernard's last fight his opponents was complaining to Bernard about what he did before the fight and bernard said he did that to get inside his head.

    Bernard was talking to him about the abortion tweet and just checking floyd was alright mentally.

    There's an article at the scene where he talks about it and also getting psyched up before a fight using various tactics.

    I did not mean to say he was talking to floyd about the gloves during the weight in but that he is clearly trying to get in floyd's good grace. Plus he is not stupid enough to say, "yeah i was telling floyd he should complain about the gloves."

    Don't know perez hilton, but honestly that was the first thing that popped in my head because its something that Nazim is known for, complaining about handraps and things to get inside a fighters head.

    What Bernard's last opponent have to say and have do with anything? Now, this is pissing me off yo bunch of moronic selves. Mayweather and Hopkins are almost on the same side of the shore and he can't speak to him whenever? Mayweather hears him at the weigh-in so that is his freakin problem! You want to attack Bernard from every conceivable angle, when it's about PEDs and Manny Pacquaio, when it's about corruption in boxing nowadays, when it's about Maidana custom gloves and Mayweather. Man, I wish you all the best.

    First of all I was not attacking Bernard, check my posting history its there for all to see. Bernard is an incredibly intelligent and tactical fighter who uses everything at his disposal to win both physical and most of all mental. Second i never said there was any problem with bernard talking to mayweather. Third I brought up bernard's last opponent to highlight how he is known for playing mind games, after the fight shumenov was complaining to bernard about his behavior leading up to the fight and hopkins told him "it was to get inside your head and gain an advantage, you learned something new"

    I understand you boxer101, all three points but I was not clearly sending my message to you but using the thread to send to all others and who r the others, well, let's say that they know who they r. I believe that Bernard has been playing his games with Mayweather as well. Peace out.

    I assume your reply was directed at me since you quoted my post and began with "what does his previous opponent have to do with this". Anyways I really enjoy interchanging ideas with people but it seems hard to do without people resorting to insults instead of agreeing to disagree.
