One on One With Naazim Richardson: The latest on Hopkins and Mosley

What?s up sir? Just calling to congratulate you and team Hopkins on the win. What?s good?

NR- Everything is good brother, just taking care of business.

Is Bernard doing ok? I had heard he passed out afterwards.

NR- Yes, X is doing ok, anytime you get hit on the back of the head like that it?s going to rattle and hurt you. It?s a dangerous spot to be hitting someone.

So it wasn?t no opportunity to catch a quick breather? I mean I?m sure it crossed peoples minds out there.

NR- Listen man, anyone that says or thinks that probably has never even been hit before so that?s that.

I feel that Roy got lazy and stayed with what he knows, while B-Hop continued to grow and learn more and more along the way and that?s the difference between both legends. With that said, as great as I think Hopkins is, I still feel that he should now retire from the sport. What?s your take?

NR- I had a talk with X and that?s what I also mentioned to him that his legacy is secure. I?m sure X still has masterful performances left in him but that don?t mean that he has to milk it all till it?s gone.

How is Shane doing?

NR- Shane is doing good, camp is going great. Shane is an animal. People can say yeah that Floyd is a tough puzzle to crack but listen man, listen, just make sure you watch this fight because it?s going to be a great night.

Alright Brother Naazim, it?s been good thanks for your time, let Steve know that I want him to get Huck out of there again or move to heavyweight and make noise up there and get Adamek back in there.

NR- Yes, I will pass the word to Steve, Thanks for the call, I got to let you go got to hit the gym with these guys. Take care.
