WOW!!!... Didn't Know Bouie was Gone...Bouie Fisher Put the "Hop" in "B-Hop"...Bernard Hopkins Should PAY for the Funeral Services AND Break Off the Fisher Family 1 Last LARGE Lump Sum Payment...Because he WOULDN'T have Been the Man he Is Today, if NOT for Bouie Fisher... R.I.P., Mr. Fisher... REEDray:
I never got to the bottom of what happened with him and Hopkins. He was there with Hopkins for Tito and then...puff....gone. RIP. I have only one accurate image of him in my mind and thats with some sort of a cue-tip in one corner of his mouth.:: Damn, Hopkins looked young.
REED Knows LOOSE "Details" of the BHop-Bouie Situation... AFTER the Trinidad Fight, Bernard's Purses Got SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER & he DIDN'T Want to Share the Same % of that Purse w/Bouie, as he Did Previously...Also, Bouie's Son was ALWAYS a Part of the Team & his Relationship w/Bernard DETERIORATED After the Slighting of his Old Man... Brother Nazim was Also In the Circle, from Waaaaaaaaaaay Back, but his Role Obviously INCREASED as Bouie & his Son were REMOVED from the Squad... REED:cheer:
Cheers.:truce: And how much did Nazim want? I doubt it was less than Fisher. Hopkins is going to go down as being tighter than Marciano when it came to cash. :: And then the question is.....how did Nazim get bumped, temporarily, by Cock Roach for the Calzaghe fight? The plot thickens.....:stir:
Bernard Basically OPENED the Door for Nazim...@ the Time, Nazim had No Recourse BUT to Accept WHATEVER Bernard was Offering him...If NOT for Bernard, Nazim WOULDN'T B Training Sugar Shane... Bernard Probably STILL Holds that Over Nazim's Head... REED:Lok:
hopkins was cheap and cut fisher loose, but he did rehire him and fishers son was in his camp for the past several years as far as i know. eventually he just went with richardson because fisher was simply too old to train him any longer
