I would like to see Hopkins as an HBO commentator. Would You ?

you wnt get a good response on this board about hopkins cause he doesnt fight face first so he's not a true warrior

Not true. Im not a fan of Hops style, but I'd love to see him as a commentator. Joe Mesi is also another I would like to hear in the booth. He's verywell spoken.

BHop is not "street." That's an act. He's from a middle class/ upper middle class area of Philly.

Yeah but he walked the yard for 5 years. That's even streeter then street.... You ****** ***!

LOL...
I remember your thread about this a few months back man..

Chill man, it's obvious you don't like Hopkins.. So be it..

Hopkins will always be remembered as a better fighter than Calzaghe..
And for the people saying hes racist, get real.. I'm white and I didn't care about the comments b/c they were said to hype the fight..

Some people are so ****in sensitive

Also he knows the sport of boxing inside and out. He speaks clearly and bluntly. He's done ESPN several times and he is always excellent.

fan aside... i think roy was one of the best... that dude literally predicted exactly what would happen seconds before it would...

true true. who cares if he missed "meetings". it was hard enough to get dude to press conferences let alone stiff meetings at HBO hq. B-hop would be interesting but perhaps too contreversial as I'm sure he'd say something political, socialogical or about race that would get him in trouble... put roy and bernard commentating the same fight and you got yourself a show!

Hop would be an outstanding analyst. Fight hype is fight hype. In real life, he's a great guy with a great personality, and a damn genius when it comes to breaking down fight strategy and technique. Plus he's a great, articulate talker on camera.



You know who else would be a pretty good analyst is Joe Calzaghe. Overrated boxer, but good talker. Maybe they can be a broadcast team someday, how funny would that be. But one problem is no one in America would be able to understand his accent.

[Bad_Barracuda]

I would like to see him take over Emmanuel stewards or lennox's spot on HBO, He's so experienced and skillful it would be intresting.

Yes..Hopkins or RJJ..or bring back George..

They would reign-in all the cookie comments coming from guys that never boxing pro.

George didn't let them talk all crazy.

[Silencers]

Not a bad idea at all.

[iron_boy]

yeah ti would actually be good him as a commentator
