Hopkins as commentator...

[MDPopescu]

He's a crap commentator.

Hopkins only speaks fluidly when he's giving long-winded lectures about how smart he is.

I just wanted to say this ^^^ ........................................

it was a pitiful lennox lewis-like performance from bhop. roy is still (and still!) the best boxer commentator since george foreman.

Nope, that would be Tarver.

That can be debated. both very good.

I also like malignaggi.

Commentators have to follow a certain script I've always thought, because of this Hopkins has to hold back a lot of what he really thinks which may give reason why he's so hesitant and slow to articulate himself.

All you need to do is check out some of multiple fight breakdowns on Youtube, and he comes across really well. Somehow though, this doesn't transition over to commentating, and it's as I said before, commentators have to follow a certain playbook.

Last night Hopkins was about as interesting as a 2nd coat of paint.......

B-Hop suddenly cant talk when he's not talking about himself. lol.

Does he though? Whenever I listen to Hopkins he takes ten minutes to make some inane, normally self-serving point that could just as easily have been made in ten seconds.

In the instantaneous world of live broadcasting that shit gets exposed for the empty waffle that it is.

Someone needs to tell him that just because it takes you ages to say something, it doesn't mean it's profound.

I think he was thrown off by Lampley and Leddermans bias .

Better than Roy
