It takes no effort to be ordinary. Ordinary is not even a challenge. You can do nothing and be ordinary.

BERNARD HOPKINS

Different Philosophy Teacher
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

Guy Motivation Stronger
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
I wouldn’t wanna fight me, because I know it wouldn’t be a good outcome for both.
BERNARD HOPKINS

Fighting Motivation Outcomes
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
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.

BERNARD HOPKINS

Fighting Mma Motivation
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.
BERNARD HOPKINS

Hurt Motivation Talking
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.
BERNARD HOPKINS

I’ve done so many unpredictable things and so profoundly. Even the people who want to go against me, are afraid to go against me. They’ve been wrong so many times. A lot of them are just being mum right now. They must feel I can still do things.
BERNARD HOPKINS

Out People Unpredictable Things Work
The NBA has a voice that’s why they have a lockout. The NFL has a voice that’s why they had a lockout. Boxing is the only sport that’s individually represented the individual people – Managers, Promoters and Boxers.
