Former middleweight king Bernard Hopkins made his feelings loud and clear on what will happen when his Golden Boy Promotions partner, Oscar De La Hoya, meets Floyd Mayweather, Jr. on May 5 in Las Vegas.
“Oscar De La Hoya vs. Floyd Mayweather will be the first time in history that a fighter’s name gets changed after the fight, from Pretty Boy to Ugly Boy. I’m just telling you how I feel. The opposite of pretty is ugly. There ain?t no in-between. I’m just telling what?s going to happen,” Hopkins said.
Hopkins’ view on De La Hoya’s strategy is simple.
“He (has) to hit Floyd more than Floyd hits him. Over, and over and over again,” Hopkins said.
