ah I was expecting something closer to, "I'm the sea water to Bernard Hopkins' boat, but sometimes the boat has to sink to get closer to the water," or maybe that's something he'd say after a loss

Hopkins' timing is odd though, you'd figure he'd want to finish with Nazim. I don't think Nazim can teach him anything at this point, but it seems appropriate to end it with Nazim.

Brother Naz probably told B hop the truth that he needs to retire, and that got him axed. B hop is ruthless he will even step on his own flesh and blood if they short change him a dollar.

It's just how most of Hopkins' relationships end, be they with a promoter or trainer...

Is Hopkins out of his mind? I feel sorry for Nazeem he has been with Hopkins for so long and now he leaves him without saying why or something???? Thats a no go......

I hope Naazim spins the towel and catches Hopkins right in the eye

Goodbye and good riddance. A trouble making MF, always trying to start nonsense over nothing, most of the time. Good move B-Hop..

Huh?! When did Naazim Richardson become Angel Garcia ? Very low key at the press conferences, just a good motivator and coach. He had every right to demand that Margarito's hand wraps be checked, if that's what you're talking about .

He probably saved Mosely and Mayweather some serious damage from those plaster wraps. He totally wrecked Cotto.
