Are Roger Mayweather's comments very different from B-Hops?

I'm surprised he said that when he was trained by Jesse Reid. I think he blames Reid for how his career turned out. Plus Roger is trash, Mayweather does not need a trainer. All I hear from Roger is "box that muthaphuka, work the body."

They are the same even the reason they say it to garner attention is the same.

The only difference is B-Hop at least has the excuse he is still fighting and needs to do that sort of thing to sell himself. Roger merely wants to be heard although one would have to assume B-Hop would be the same way after he retires for good, which is why B-Hop would be a good promoter.

The only non black person to get any shred of credit in the entire interview is Duran.. And he gets a single mention that actually sounded more like a slip. It would have been funny to be in the room with Jeff and Roger, when Alexander quit. I bet he dropped some priceless gems at that moment.

That's one of those interviews that goes about 5 minutes with Teddy getting heated and raising his voice. He would reference a bunch of old white dudes, half of whom we never heard of.

The interviewer probably took out an 8-ball and told Roger to make the interview interesting and he can have the 8-ball.

I think Hopkins does no better on some level.. Until he makes new ridiculous comments, I'm going to assume he was just trying to hook his friend Shane Mosley up. Honestly though.. Shane is not a very slick fighter.

Roger though is immediately dismissed as old and ridiculous. However Hopkins wasn't very different with his sentiments.. Rogers interview definitely serves to undermind Hopkins' message, which actually spurred some real debate.

They are almost the same age lol
