The man is amazing athlete and philosopher of the sport. When he speaks i listen and i'm sure many others a compelled by his wisdom and knowledge of sport. Not many fighters have Bernard's wit and determination and philosophy. The man has some amazing quotes thought it would make for a good thread. I'm sure the never losing to a whiteboy will get brought up..... I start off ''It's like a guy with degrees, always flashing his havard and yale degree's but don't look left and right when crossing road and get's hit by tractor trailer..but i will look left and right when i cross the street cos that's the basics...that's what i was taught i never lost it...i never forgot it!!'' That i'm just gonna let my bullets fly cos i have them, if i got 50, and if only i gotta use 5 to get the target why use all of them just to make noise?!!...'' The man has a way with words and truly incredible story. It's amazing how much knowledge this guy has. :good

:good remember that and yeah LP i felt same. Really nice of the guy. B-Hop's class act...when he wants to be :yep
i was laughing at his bottom teeth. Wonder where he bought them from...must of just got them..seemed to be getting used to them.
It shows the real measure of the man imo How many people know about this story compared to "I will never lose to a white boy"
brand new set of false teeth at bottom or they been whitened. More like the later....he looked like he felt uncomfortable with them in. .
yea exactly but im sure he didnt do it to improve his profile. i remember being at the calzaghe fight, when hopkins came to the ring with hood up and exacution mask. he got up on the apron and done he slit throat gesture followed by the X, ive never felt butterflies like it when he done that, the whole place was electric. i'll never forget that feeling/moment
