    Hopkins doesn't seem like the type of guy to look up to someone. Lol.

    Marvelous Marvin Hagler. This is just a joke here, bhop was on Friday night fights with Hagler on the telecast, Marvin criticized his foot work. Later on Roy was laughing at Hopkins "your idol disrespected your leg work on live tv" this was before the "60/40 I'll kick yo ass '' days.

    Also I heard nacho Bernstein (jmm trainer) views Hopkins as the best pound for pounder ever. I think they meet with a kiss on the cheek and a hug everytime they see each other. This could be folklore but I heard it on Eli sechback show!

    I have also seen Bhop mention Sugar Ray Robinson, Ezzard Charles and Archie Moore in interviews.
