BERNARD HOPKINS

Being Different Mean Motivation
The media here know that there’s the possibility that I can pull this off. I’m confident. Confidence comes with work. When you prepare yourself and you know you’re going into combat with all of your bullets, you have the confidence to go into battle.

Tavoris Cloud might actually be hungrier than me. How often do you hear a fighter say that his opponent is hungrier than he is? I don’t need hunger. I’m motivated by my desire to prove that I’m different and that I can still silence the critics.
BERNARD HOPKINS

Clouds Desire Silence
This is a great position to be in. I don’t really believe there is any fighter, in any decade that can be in my position of luxury that I’ve been in for many years.
BERNARD HOPKINS

I got knocked down. Anybody could be knocked down, anybody can be knocked out, but it’s not what happened, but what happens next.
