    B-Hop is well known for saying crazy ****, should be entertaining (after he adjusts to being on TV anyways).

            He is a rascist , hating whites, so its obvious he will favour any black guy fighting agsinst a white, regardless if the black guy is a bum or not, sorry to say but its a fact.

              Kenny has interviewed Floyd like 5 times. The only interview where they got into it was the pre-Judah interview where he told Floyd to fight the real welter champ Baldomir. Every other time I have watch Kenny interview Floyd everything was normal, infact the last interview I remember Floyd giving Kenny, Kenny was big upping Floyd a lot. Kenny is no Larry Merchant or Jim Gray, when it comes to offensive boxing interviews.

                How ironic, yet refreshing to have someone who is used to taking life in the ring, being used to breathe life into ESPN Friday Night Fights. Enjoy him while he is with you.

                  You sound uninformed and moronic.
