Hopkins comments about floyd.

[KickAzz]

Since when are Floyd and Bernard on a personal level where they should be talking about families?

c'mon, you know floyd just wanted to flash his wealth at bhop.

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.

This is why i admire BHOP the executioner. He's gonna knock RJJ. Never liked Jones.

[The Gambler1981]

Huh? the interviewer asked Bernard about it, not the other way around.

Yea but it is a public venue that is not someplace people go for sage like advice. He is hyping up his fight through having an opinion on Floyd. Floyd is a way bigger star than B-Hop so B-Hop talking about him in this way is a way to sell his fight.

B-Hop will do anything to sell a fight and to me that is what this monologue falls under even though what he said is basically correct.

If B-Hop said it on Opera maybe I would feel different about it.

hopkins is keepin it real. thankfully i dont idol worship my fav boxers.

i like floyd because hes a good fighter. not because i need to live vicariously through him.

[TheGR8TESTOAT]

Seriously this guy should be the spokeman for cleaning up your life,he is a true inspiration and the day he retires boxing will have a huge void to fill.

of what boring fighters who fought too long and bored the F out of us?

[Tamis!]

I see what you mean but every man is different. Its just how the guy is doesnt make it right or wrong. Its just kind of weird for a guy who spent alot of time locked up to judge a guy for doing nothing criminal.

To each his own is my mantra.

I have to say I'm surprised by this from you Burner, after all those "No one is above criticism" about Pacquiao's DH fans with you debating with them all over the threads, then a wise old man BHop keepin' it real on Floyd's antics. Radiates a feeling that when Floyd's being criticized you always side with Floyd as if he can't be criticized.

because bernard is 45 years old and he's a wise man offering his advice to younger guys, he's lived through enough **** to have that right to speak on certain matters. Respect your elders, you know?

The elders don't fail to say a thing or two about life and how to live it right!

"rap is something you do, hip-hop is something you live".-krs one

B-hop wit some REAL hip-hop

Can I ask why Floyd is being criticized for living his life? Its the way he is. Doesnt make it right or wrong.

[IMDAZED]

How does that work in your favor? Since when do random acquaintances start telling each other about their houses?

WTF?

Amazing how alot of poster or boxing fans seem to live their lives through one fighter isnt? Its like Blasphemy if they ever critise their favourite fighter.
