Hopkins comments about floyd.

[Profanosaurus]

back in the day, i really couldn't stand Hopkins. But over the years I have grown to love the guy for his truthfulness. there aren't too many better boxing brains in the sport right now.

True tim. I think Hopkins would make a first class trainer when he retires,I am not sure thats what he wants to do though. Very few fighters make great trainers,but I think B-hop would be great from both the technical aspect, and getting his fighters heads right.

I know Floyd is a prick but Hops has to know thats for the cameras. I know he knows that. I dont know where those two went wrong.

But it's not just for the cameras.

Didn't you just read what he said?

2AM, he sees Bernard, first thing out of his mouth is did you see my house.

Where were the cameras?

I dont think asking him has he seen his house is being a prick though. Dude didnt have **** as kid but boxing. Hes happy hes successful.

Floyd lives check to check (crazy right?). Been that way since forever. Hopefully he's changed his bad habits.

AllHipHop.com: What’s the problem with you and Floyd Mayweather? He never has anything positive to say about you. Was there something that happened in the past between you two or is it just a personality clash?

Hopkins: Well Floyd had personal stuff to say about Rick Ross, too. He knows me, and he would never say anything to my face. Floyd ain’t no gangster like he thinks he is. I’m not a part of the Hip-hop world when it comes to a rapper. I’m a part of Hip-Hop when it comes to the streets. You can pull up my record. But I don’t back the ignorant days of my past and having to spend years in a 5 by 5 cell. I know how these dudes would really be if they weren’t surrounded by gold watches, diamonds, and all that. It means nothing to me, and I don’t have to play the buffoon like the system wants.

If he wants to waste money in clubs, blow $40 million dollars and not pay his taxes, that’s on him. We have to think and be different. Warren Buffet and Bill Gates, you haven’t seen those guy’s houses. You haven’t seen Bill Gates with a million dollars sitting in stacks like some drug dealer. I don’t have a self-esteem problem, Floyd does. I’m 45; he’s like a young boy to me. I was schooled by old heads. So when I became an old head to the 20’s and early 30’s guys, when I speak they listen. Same why the rappers do with Jay-Z, I have that in the boxing world.

It ain’t about how much money you got, but how much you can count 20, 30 years from now. Mike Tyson had $300 million dollars, and he got tricked out of it. Let’s see who’s ballin’ 15-20 years from now, when you need the money and can’t jump in the ring and make that money back. Because if the rumors are true, Floyd needs money now [laughs]. It’s not how much you got, but how much you keep. I would never flash my money.

You’ll never catch me on MTV Cribs. Oh I’m sitting on 17,000 square feet, I got 6 acres. But I ain’t got to call the newspapers and tell them come to my house, and next thing you know someone runs up in there damn near trying to take the Kool Aid out my refrigerator…even though I don’t drink Kool Aid, heh. That’s the difference between me and Floyd and where the arrogance comes from.


When Floyd saw me at the Fontainebleau in Miami , because I got a condo down there, the first thing he said to me “yo man you got to see my house!” Now I’m looking at this dude at like 2 in the morning, this young boy, saying first of all what do I care? Tell me about you r family, your daughter, your pops, but he wants to tell me I got to see his house like I’m a b***h! I ain’t one of your bitches, man. What are you talking about?! And lo and behold, I watch the 24/7 from the last fight, you seen it and I seen it, him sitting up there with Puffy showing it off. I’m not into that.


Nobody has seen Jay-Z house, have they? Think about it. Look at the ignorance. Take this as a lesson dog, this is straight knowledge. I’m sitting pretty good. You never see anyone up in my house in Delaware unless they got helicopters. I take them to the condos in Philly and Miami, and they desperately been trying to get to the main house for the last 10 years. They know it’s nice, HBO is like “people got to see it Bernard, see your business savvy, etc.” I say nah, [because] then they won’t want to give me any more checks! I know human nature. Noooo, the less they see the better I’m off.

That’s a street thing, if I was drug dealer why would I go out and buy a brand new car and draw attention on my block? No, I want them to think I’m doing bad. You take the streets and take into corporate America, and that’s why you have rappers that don’t have to sell coke no more. Corporate America is the new drug game. If you still out there trying to hustle on the block you’re a fool.

BHop keeping it real. He's a deep brother, a legend.

I am a Floyd fan, but the insight is sound.

How old are you?

I know Floyd is a prick but Hops has to know thats for the cameras. I know he knows that. I dont know where those two went wrong.

Doesn't matter if it's for the camera's or not, floyd is out at the clubs making it rain, flontin his ***elry, showing video's of STACKS of bills in his house, etc. Floyd puts it out there. And what happened? Floyd got robbed for his ***elry as a result. People were like, "wow this dude keeps that much cash and ***elry in his own home?!" Like hopkins said, why draw attention to that? Not smart.

Same thing with rappers gettin their chains snatched all the time. You put on a huge ****** ass necklace worth 50k+ for the world to see, don't cry if someone rushes you and snags it off. That's just being ignorant

[ИATAS]

How old are you?

for real. That's exactly the first things out my mouth when I see old friends, etc., I ask about their families. Pretty common stuff here folks.
