Anyone notice Hopkins telling Floyd to use his head before Ghost fight?

[TyrantT316]

Just as Lennon was transitioning from introducing Robert and then Mayweather, Floyd walked by Hopkins and was pointing to his dome to suggest "Be smart, be smart in this fight".

Obviously Golden Boy profits off of Mayweather's events and they want him to win. But does anyone know of the relationship between Floyd and Hopkins? I am just curious to know if Floyd or Hopkins have had respect and good things to say about each other. Floyd's obviously a veteran, future HOFer and professional. But Hopkins knows a thing or two about preservation and still going strong near 50 that Floyd could continue to learn from.

I don't know of they are close or anything like that. But both have a respect for each other in "hitting and not getting hit". These 2 are the last of the old school type of fighters.

if you think floyd gives a **** about advice from bernard hopkins... you're sadly mistaken.

[IronDanHamza]

Both have ego's and there's always been a competitive intensity between them and they've had some back and forth in the media a few times.

But, they've also shown a lot of respect for each other on many occasions. It's clear they have a lot of respect for each other.

If he was I think Floyd might even see that as an insult. Why the fu#k would Floyd Mayweather need anyone to tell him to fight smart?

They actually have a true love/hate relationship. One minute they are praising eachother and the next they are going at eachothers throat. I haven't heard any beef in a long time though so I think they are cool now
