    After retirement.....Floyd and Hopins could be great boxing trainers.

    Two of the smartest fighters on the planet...with crazy work ethics and they are both are great for having a strategy and gameplan.

    Not to mention they have been around great trainers like Roger Mayweather....Floyd Sr. and ****m Rchardson.

    If they really wanted to they would be great trainers IMO.

    I don't think you will see Hopkins as a trainer, but i bet we will see Floyd as one in the future. Boxing is a family tradition for Floyd. Hopkins seems more in tune with the promotional aspect.

      Floyd's too much of a big headed prick to train people.

      Don't know about Hopkins, but I don't think he would either.

        I couldn't see Floyd having the patience really...but he has sons so maybe...

        Bernard would have to take a speech class first


        Maybe Roy Jones too...

            Bernard sounds fine on ESPN. No class needed.

              Floyd would ask for too much money.

                Seriously if I was a young prospect how the hell could you not be comfortable with Floyd Mayweather Jr. or Bernard Hopkins in your corner.

                They literally know EVERYTHING about the sport.

                  Floyd will be a trainer...no doubtin my mind.

                    both fighters approach fights psychologically.. only difference is that B-Hop meticulously plans on what he wants to do...while Floyd can adjust on the fly..
