    Who gives a f-ck if he talks too much

    90% of the time when he talks he makes sense and says some smart **** worth listening to. Even when he's just talking **** he usually manages to make it look like he actually is talking **** for a reason and not just to hype ppl up

    Id rather listen to bhop talk than someone like Adrien broner any day

      Some of you guys really make me laugh though, but seriously Hopkins can talk way to long, I remember listening to one of his radio interviews and fell asleep, and than woke up again and he was till on the same subject the Philadelphia eagles lol.

        This one of the reasons I love boxing - so many characters and many of them are completely unfiltered.

        Listen guys in the nfl, always the same predictable answers, they are like robots programmed to repeat the same cliches over and over, so politically correct in fear of being fined by the NFL.

        Boxers however, guys like Hopkins can say whatever the **** they want. It's refreshing in the ultra PC world imo.

          What about Teddy Atlas? He can go on for ages. The difference with Atlas and Hopkins is Hopkins enjoys hearing himself talk, Atlas just keeps talking and doesn't stop.

            I'd imagine if you maintain #1 contender status into your late 40's you can say pretty much whatever the **** you want and be ready to back it up.

                    Yes I hear that he sings like a thrush. beautiful voice..... a combination of bass, soprano, alto tenor and a little bit of Jerry Colonna thrown in.... Impossible to describe. you should see him shatter a tumbler...

                      hes got an ego and likes to hear himself talk but hes pretty good.

                      he did guest commentary on ESPN before and he would be great on hbo/showtime but for whatever reason he doesnt seem to be interested in it
