If your a person that is so great then stop with the racial remarks..move on as a person.

I stand by what I said..even if you are an inner city kid..there are better role models and there is religion to turn to instead of violence and hatred.

Even among boxers there are a ton of good role models..Bhop would not be on my list.

You really are a sad negative person aren't you? When has Hopkins not taken responsibility for his crimes? He did his time and turned his life into something inspiring and positive. It really is unbelievable that there are people like you around. Turn to religion? That says alot about you kid, open your mind and learn to live life.

I had to look it up, because you surely know philly better than I do. However, germantown has a median income higher than average..that makes it upper middle. The level of education is higher than average..again upper middle.

But again, you know this all I am sure. So the fact is Bhop lived his "criminal" years in a middle to upper middle class neighborhood.

Im from Akron Ohio, its a shithole of a city. I guess Im one of those terrible inner city youths you so speak of.

Like many have said I never was a fan of Hopkins as a man due to some of the remarks he has made, but reading this made me see him in a totally different light.

I have never met bernard,,I read that interview and all I read is crap about hopkins..

His last line, that the kid beat cancer it didnt beat him..Cancer killed that kid.

I am not judging hop by the media. Hop is a certified criminal. Someone is a criminal and does a good act once they have money and they are a hero?

Give me a ****ing break. If someone robs or deals drugs or rapes or kills or whatever, even if it was 30 years ago they still have the responsibility for those actions.

Its like saying a person who molested a child 30 years ago then helps someone is now a good person.

You people have no idea how many or how badly bernard hurt people b4 or during his time in prison.

if Bhop is the best role model you people or that kid can come up with then this world and your idea of a role model are skewed to hell and back.
