Hopkins and Mosely in Hatton's corner

Post by Finch »

Just watching the Hatton Pacquiao fight again, Hatton's entrance into the ring he is greeted by Bernard Hopkins and Shane Mosely etc in his corner of the ring. What's this all about ?

Right up until the end Hopkins looks like he's giving words of encouragement or advice of some sort. Did Hopkins and Roach fall out after the Calzaghe fight ?

What's the connection with BHop and SSm with Hatton ?

If I remember correctly they were doing the same when Hatton fought Mayweather.

As the poster above said, it's the Golden Boy connection.

Roach & B-Hop are still friends, they still get along! Freddy has stated Bernard did not take kindly to Roach opting not to train him & voice his concern over him boxing Pavlik, but also said Hopkins hasn't taken it personally!

Whenever Roach talks about Hopkins, he always commends him for his discipline, work ethic, etc.

Roach has recently been lauded as a prediction genius but he got Pavlik Hopkins badly wrong didn't he?

Did anyone read the article about Hopkins' being in the corner for this fight. It was so bad it was funny, it basically was saying how much of a nice guy Ricky was - so nice that Bernard Hopkins who works for the promoter of PACQUIAO was cheering on the Englishman!!!!

they killed a prostitute in 1990 and are covering up by becoming world champion boxers and maintaining secrecy by hanging around together before big fights.


Like in Prime Suspect 1



the best Prime Suspect, in my opinion
