    B-Hop loves what he does and is always entertaining to listen to.
    Walking round with a tennis ball under his chin and were he mentioned Bruce Lee, love it.

    I done tried to tell yall...


    BHop has the highest ring IQ of any fighter in the game today. You would have to go back a long time to find a guy with that type of boxing mind... if it's even possible.


    **** man, I don't think he can resist teaching someone... He would make one of the best trainers ever, if he would just hurry up and get old!!!

    Hopkins is a tricky guy. One of the craftiest boxers around.

    When he was talking about how to shoot that right hand, it reminded me of the first round of Calzaghe-Hopkins. Calzaghe was following Hopkins around throwing flimsy shots, and Hopkins would suddenly unleash that right hand, putting him on the canvas on one occasion and snapping his head back on another. His hands aren't even that fast...it's his timing that shines.

    Mayweather is another guy who has excellent timing and the sort of non-telegraphic right hand lead that Hopkins was talking about.

    Is there any wonder that's the guy who is still winning fights at age 46? Other guys know what to do, Bernard understands why you do it. I could watch him giving instructions all day.
