Prison is a thing where talking gets you killed. What gets you respect is you do. The guy that you fear is a guy that says nothing.

Bernard Hopkins

I am an old man, I just happen to be an old man that can fight.
BERNARD HOPKINS

Fighting Men Old Man
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
Smokey Wilson was like my Gandhi. If I had run into somebody else in prison, with a different set of values, the world might have never known one of the greatest boxing talents ever to come out of Philadelphia.
BERNARD HOPKINS

Motivation Philadelphia Running
You’re not going to see a new Bernard Hopkins. I’m too old for that crap. I think what you will see is something different that I know I am capable of doing.

Bernard Different Hopkins Thinking
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.
BERNARD HOPKINS

Light Men Motivation
I must destroy everybody that comes in front of me. I must execute them and I must do it in grand style. I must slay Robert Allen like I must slay De La Hoya or anybody else that steps in that ring.
BERNARD HOPKINS

Motivation Steps Style
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
I still shop at Costco. I just started tipping two years ago.
BERNARD HOPKINS

BERNARD HOPKINS

Careers Out Want Work
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 want to be the poster child for taking care of yourself after 40. Obesity is an epidemic in this country and I’m a living, breathing example of what it means to stay healthy.
BERNARD HOPKINS

Children Country Mean
The streets was basically my parents.
BERNARD HOPKINS

Fighter Motivation Parent
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.
BERNARD HOPKINS

Boxing Lockout Motivation Sports
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

Believe Luxury Years
I don’t know what being a 48-year-old feels like. There are a lot of 48 year olds that aren’t in good shape. The pharmacy is making a killing off of them.
BERNARD HOPKINS

Killing Shapes Years
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.
