THEN... after a career of basically over powering almost everyone as champ he grows older and adapts and changes his whole style. thats been done before but think about it ,most times age wins. he totally had a plan and actually implemented it brilliantly as a boxer. WOW! this guy has NEVER had a drink or a cigarette in his LIFE. people that know him have totally confirmed this. He is a genius in the boxing sense and an expert in discipline and gameplan more than most realize.I also love listening to him talk. So passionate. gotta love him.give him a chance. KONG
    bhop use to smoke weed and drink..he said when he started boxing pro he had to sweet all of that out..but he's been clean 20 years as far as i know

      I think when he became ******, he proper sorted himself out and put his past behind him.

      Then became a success story.

      Good for him, well done B-Hop

        This should be good. Love to hear Hop's words of wisdom, long as he don't get racial.

                  I was watching. Sounds good. He doesn't have to fight again although of course it would be nice to see em in there again wit the right opponent. At least at this point he cud go out with a W.

                    or hopefully replace emmanuel stewward.. he's so annoying.. every fight he flips flops on his analysis and he brings up tommy hearns and sugar ray leonard every 5 minutes.. the best person i thought they had was roy.. he was usually on point with how the fight was going to go and gave great insight.. foreman sometimes gave good insight but most of the time he was too busy ****riding his favorite fighters, as do most of the hbo commentators do.. but hopefully B-Hop can join them soon

                      Awesome! B-hop is obviously a smart guy and he knows his **** when it comes to boxing. I dont think I have ever seen a smarter fighter then Hopkins.
