Does anyone else feel just totally inspired when watching BHOP train, talk about his life. His dedication, how he turned his life around after coming out of prison. He is just an amazing character. I have been pissed at him for some of his theatrics etc but when i look at him objectively i can't help but admire the man. Anyway. Enjoy some of these vids: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFIUcsayuoE[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixHO4Auk_cg[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEQ45VmWujA[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Flctmafb_lc[/ame]
He inspires me to train and be disciplined the most out of any fighter; the only person I could think to challenge him would be Marquez.
Marquez also inspires me in such a way. I know it's weird but the Mayweather fight just summed up Marquez to me. Outgunned in every department, as well as completely out sized and the guy fought and fought until the very end. He never gave up and never even thought about quitting. Just such a heart.
:good Reading about Hopkins' nutritional habits has inspired me for a couple years now to eat clean year-round. He's like a perfectly oiled machine...and hopefully staying fit and eating right can lead to better health and longevity, because I don't want to be 50 years old and saying, "I wish I was 50 pounds lighter" or "I wish I didn't have such high blood pressure and cholesterol."
