I like BHop. I respect the guy for what he has accomplished in life, what he was still able to make out of it despite the early trials.

The few times he's found out of sort, are in situations where his sheer passion in keeping, preserving his accomplishments, and the respect just due, he'd gone astray and clutched on straws using inferior reasoning. Probably this ill-on-comfort "defensive stance" is an offshoot of his period of incarceration, it is anybody's guess. Lack of good judgment, who knows.

This recent one though, is of a different flair. It is not that crazy defensive posturing variety. I'd just as soon store this as hype.

There it is, hype. In putting forth an effort to keep his associate, PBF, in the mold of things while he tidies up all things needed mending, Hopkins came up with this lame skit...

It's a shame that people with the stature of a Bernard Hopkins need to go this route, stick their necks, just to buy Floyd Jr. time before he inks his John Hancock on the dotted lines... If it ever so happens. (IMHO)
