    I agree.

    He is very intelligent and honest. He says it how he feels and doesn't care if most don't agree.

    Listening to behind the scenes interviews for other fights (Nothing to do with him) he is great.

      They should have Roy Jones, Bernard Hopkins and Antonio Tarver all as commentators.

      Like a Pugilist Triangle.

      The commentary would be hilarious:

      Roy Jones: Ohhhhh, Pacquiao knocks Margarito cleeeean out!! I told y'all, entirely toooo much speeeeeed!!

      Antonio Tarver: Remember when I knocked you clean out Roy? Got any excuses... still?

      Bernard Hopkins: What about when I sonned your ass for 12 rounds Antonio, tell me how my ass tastes now.

            B-Hop is very well spoken I'd love to hear him on HBO!
            anyone who has heard his Fight Night announcing will know he isn't all that great at covering a fight live

            in guest analyst? yeah he is okay and even then he rambles a bit

              **** Bernard Hopkins. He's a ****** that thinks a 7 division champ, pound for pound king, fighter of the decade, hero to all of philipine Manny Pacquiao should take blood to please Floyd. He cannot be objective.

                Maybe after Larry Merchant's gone...not now

                I think they rather go with RJJ though...

                    B-Hop has done some Fight Night Club fights as an analyst. I thought he was excellent.

                      He still has all faculties and provides great insight and predicitions when talking, he doesn't come across as a deer caught in the headlights like Lennox did sometimes and I feel with experience, he would be a great commentator someday at HBO.

                      I will miss the bastard when hes gone, I enjoy seeing him at weigh ins trying to get as much camera time as possible and he was the architect of the Mayweather-Mosley post fight 'almost brawl', he always speaks his mind and doesn't give a fuck.

                      What do you guys think? Hopkins at HBO one day?
                      He'd be a great HBO commentator today! He's extremely likable and does of a great job of helping fans understand his thought process regarding the sweet science. I could easily see him being the best former fighter commentator out there.
