This fight isn’t about boxing, it’s something deeper than that.

Bernard Hopkins

I like Sergio Martinez. I think he’s strong, he’s gritty, he’s got plenty of heart, he’s not the fanciest guy you might have seen in boxing but he has the goods to be around a long time in the Middleweight division.
BERNARD HOPKINS

Heart Motivation Strong
Enjoy that you can see me now. I would love to see the great Michael Jordan and Julius Erving in their younger days, but they’re gone. Look at me at 50, I’m going to eat right and live right so I can take less punches and look normal.
BERNARD HOPKINS

Gone Looks Out Work
I would never let a white boy beat me. You can print that. I would never lose to a white person.
BERNARD HOPKINS

Beats Boys White
I wouldn’t wanna fight me, because I know it wouldn’t be a good outcome for both.
BERNARD HOPKINS

Fighting Motivation Outcomes
I really didn’t care. I’d do something to somebody and walk in front of them the next day like it never happened. I had very very low value on my own life.

Care Day Motivation Next
Boxers are resilitant guys. We know how to take of a big punch that hits us, we know how to survive. Oscar is a survivor, he’s gonna be back bigger and stronger.

Guy Motivation Stronger
Anybody who thinks I’m taking this fight for a paycheck doesn’t know me. My whole life I’ve been achieving the impossible.
BERNARD HOPKINS

Fighting Motivation Thinking
You’ve got to be willing to look at a guy’s face and say I will kill you if I have to. You’ve got to be willing to look in his face and say that I will stab you, I will hurt you and you can’t talk the game, you’ve got to really act and do the game.

I still shop at Costco. I just started tipping two years ago.

Motivation Two Years
I’m lining up my troops to go to battle with. Tarver is the man at light heavyweight. He has the credibility of the fans and media, and that’s what counts. That’s why I am taking this risk, but I am taking it by preparing myself with good people.

I was made to be where I’m at. I just had to go through some challenges, so that I can educate others later.
BERNARD HOPKINS

Challenges Made Out Work
When you have somebody that’s smart and you’re not so smart, to me that’s modern day slavery because you’re being dictated to.
BERNARD HOPKINS

Motivation Slavery Smart
I didn’t need to take any fight for the last 10 years. But I’ve always fought the best and I’ve always wanted to prove myself to the best.
BERNARD HOPKINS

Fighting Workout Years
The middleweight division is one of the most exciting divisions in the sport. Fighters can punch like heavyweights and have the speed of the lightweights. You have the best of world worlds.
BERNARD HOPKINS

Division Heavyweights Sports
Understand that I’m at my best when it comes to proving a point, not only to show that I’m a better fighter and a better athlete at 40½ years old, but I’m at my best when I know I’ve got to beat the system again.
