    This a thousand times.

    It'd be quite horrific at times but damn, it's a story. Would make a great film if done respectfully/right.

    Bernard Hopkins. His life is like a movie.

    Ex-con that manages to become the oldest man to win any major sporting championship

    Hopkins would need more than one movie. His career is too damn long.

    Agreed Leon, a Hopkins movie definitely has the potential to be great.

    what do you think should be the keypoints in a Hopkins movie besides taking the belt from Pascal?

    I will never let a white boy beat me?

    Hmm yeah, and his first match with Roy and/or the rematch perhaps?

    Perhaps his victory over Tarver?

    Well, his prison life, also Roy Jones Jr matches would be great.
