Touching story. It really got to me considering this kid grew up not too far from me. Damn shame the kid died so young.
Wow, I guess this shows there is more to the man than the fighter. Very touching story. I have huge respect for Hopkins as a human being as well as a boxer. Saint Bernard indeed
Most fans seem to dislike him and most judges seem to dislike him, but Hopkins really is a class act and one of my favourite boxers of all time.
Bernard Hopkins might be the greatest champion in boxing history. Not only as an athlete but as an inspiration. He has done many beautiful things like this. Remember he donated I beleive $100,000 (at least) to the Steve Little family. Steve Little was a former Super Middleweight champion who passed away and left a large family behind. Bernard immediately stepped in and helped out. Yeah B's made some mistakes but the truth about him will eventually rise to the top. "Truth annihilates falsehood." --African proverb
his always does what he can to help in philly he holds stop the violence rallys and commercials he goes and talks at the youth study center every once ina while but this is really good hes a real good dude who really turned his life around
