I don't mean his speech patterns which seem OK; but the bizarre comments he makes.
I just watched an interview on Setanta from earlier; and he firstly says he has fought "All over the world, in other people's back garden; unlike Joe".....
He must be losing his marbles - he has only boxed twice outside the USA - once an early fight against a total journey man with an 8-8-1 record in Paris; and once in Ecuador when he was knocked down twice and escaped with a draw.
Joe has also fought officially only twice outside Britain - against Veit in Germany and McIntyre in Denmark.
It could also be argued he has fought Reid, Woodhall and STarie in England when he's Welsh.
ANd then he also said he was there when Ricky Hatton fought Oscar????!!

He clearly doesn't know the names of any countries outside the US when he says he has fought 'all over the world'....
When what he may means is all over the United States..

Even when he is in an away town its not far. Atlantic City 50 minute drive from Philly. NYC not that far either.
Hopkins just has verbal diarrhea, always has done. He is an expert at building a fight and his comments have certainly helped fill the sports pages over here although sadly his speeches are alot more exciting than his actual fights.
