Incredible speech by Bernard Hopkins demanding respect!!!

Watched from 14 onwards. This dude is a serious inspiration

Completely right on all regards. Rest is so important. It's so undermined by so many fighters today. That's why Bernard is fighting @ 48 and winning titles while those youngsters are worn out by their early 30's

99% trainers, 1% teachers.

Damn right.

 

Rest and PED's do wonders for modern day athletes.

 

" I'm still taking names and whipping ass"

Great interview.

 

he also said towards the end: "I'm using the media through my own systematic way of saying..." (stuff about the Froch fight to generate buzz) Then he talked about how he had to promote himself when coming up through the fight game.

 

You gotta respeK Bernard.
He way indeed never see a phenomenon like that again

"Frawch"

 

"I wuld neva lose to a white boy" is hard to respect.

 

Hopkins lost to Dawson, Calzaghe, Jones, Taylor, etc., Hopkins refused to fight Kovalev when Kovalev was his mandatory. Hopkins said he would never fight Kovalev or Stevenson..............Hopkins will fight Shumenov in DC where he owns the judges, referee, boxing commission, etc. Peterson cheated Khan in DC, had his own personal referee and judge, plus boxing commission. Peterson was caught on PEDS as well. Matthysse knocked Peterson out in the third round, so Matthysse should be the IBF champion.......

 

What's your point?

 

Great Video lots of ****s who DKSAB don't understand what BHOP is talking about 14 min+

 

hopkins is a cheater and an ass.

 

What happened when Pascal wanted drug testing...

 

Why should I respect Popkins? :think

The man made multiple indiscretions on how he would never let a white boy beat him. :-(

He then later drops a split decision to a white boy named Joe Calslappy, while constantly fouling him, and performing other dishonorable
indignation's in the bout on home soil to try to sneak away a decision victory, but failing miserably, and thus in the process diminishing
his credibility as a legitimate ghetto hoodrat. :yep

 

Yes and hopkins was almost 50years old when he did that.seriously you are truly ******.

Hopkins is truly one of the greatest,ex con turned his life and is still one of the best in the world 30years after.if you can't respect that you have big problems :deal

How many 50years old fighters you see fighting for world title?hopkins as all the right in world to "duck" kovalev,stevenson,ward and maybe couple of others?
Do you think Hopkins still has something to prove? :rofl

Go back in time to 90's when hopkins proved himself as one of the greatest MW'S and that was over decade ago :hi:

And you proved that it's possible to outwork +40years fighter WOW.trulu amazing,do you happen to know all those fight were really close?i dare to say only one fighter has truly Hopkins number and that's young prime Roy Jones.

If hopkins can unify against even Shumenov it will only add hopkins legacy.and i will laugh my ass off,if hopkins then challenge Stevenson or Kovalev.Win and retire,i bet you ****** will say Hopkins retired because he was scared of somebody else?
In your mind Hopkins should fight as long as he can,maybe in his early 60's.lost couple of fights by brutal KO and then you would say:see Hopkins was never any good.you are just a hater and it doesn't matter Hopkins will do,you always has something to complain.

In your Mind Hopkins should fight against Stevenson and Kovalev,then Ward.move up and beat Huck?after that go to HW and beat Klitcshko?

and of course hopkins is still in his prime and all the fighters he have fought are past their prime,makes sense.
