Bernard Hopkins: In this corner..

[ZigZagRunner]

gotta love hopkins he was already a champion and legend who's career we thought was over and then he goes and does this. top guy again after a good career already

[sk8forlife90]

i like bernard, but after listening to him for like 10 minutes, my head starts to throb.

[soothsayerlive]

whatever happen to jemain taylor lol hop got robbed

[TheSparkle7]

gotta respect hopkins almost 46 and hes fighting like a guy half his age! he should have beat pascal

[dantecry12]

he talkin bout jermain teller

[LeonWgner]

Hopkins more of an actor than a boxer, a fraud with his acting

[stunna654]

Mr. Hopkins is well spoken, great insight.

[TORRES91982]

im a calzaghe fan but he got beat by hopkins watch the fight back!!!

[jummacob]

@TORRES91982 i thought i was the only one who thought that lool

[gypsykatcher30]

Hopkins is the man!

[TWONICEPR]

opkins is good but he's boring, joe calzaghe skooled his ass

[rjjibtfmj]

schooled. wot fuckin fight were u watchin?

[moonhead33]

he was 2 busy tryin 2 get rid of that flabby ass gut he posted on his page hittin mitts... i swear there are some in-denial motherfuckers on this earth.

[olubusayo]

Thank you, people need to watch the 12 rounds and stop talking out of their arses, Hopkins won that fight, if we are talking about clean crisp punches that land, if we are talking about boxing, then Hopkins won, granted Calzaghe was throwing punches, and a lot of them at that, from what I gathered he landed very little that has any impact, maybe a quarter of his punches landed TOPS! Not that this means anything as every boxer is different but in the post conference look at their faces.

[petergarner1971]

you're soo right pardner. ive been watching boxing a long time and seen thousands of fights .. no doubt better boxing and cleaner, meaningful shots for Hopkins. a clear winner in my eyes. calzaghe fools with ineffective flurries.

come on people, see the light ...

[ivancesarg]

He didn't school his ass,... nobody stood out that's for sure, not even Calzaghe -

[Penguinhill]

a real man does not talk about another man's mom like some little kid, yea you keep dick riding BHOP, you puss

[moonhead33]

@Penguinhill all jokes aside, ur mom needs 2 get the fuck up out my house. i got bills 2 pay and the bitch is worn and tired. I got standards!

[ivancesarg]

Lame

[moonhead33]

[TWONICEPR]

funny how everyone is a Hopkins fan now, he became a pro in 88 and did not become known until he beat a welterweight in 2001, if your a Hopkins fan then you know nothing about boxing

@TWONICEPR how can u write that shit while showing ur chunky, no-name ass hitting mitts like that makes u a credible judge? i'm a fan of no man, but hopkins is in the top 5 fighters of the last 30 years, at least. keep telling urself u have grounds 2 speak this weak-ass shit.

[TWONICEPR]

bernard hopkins is boring and over rated

[caliweedniggaz]

@TWONICEPR so is ya mom

[TWONICEPR]

[markkerr101]

hopkins is a brilliant boxer. but the guy seems punchdrunk when he talks still maybe he is just dumb. "its not the size of the dog in the fight. its the size of the dog in the fight" ? lmao

[aLpfredoc21033]

60/40! Fight Roy Jones Jr. already!

[evesteal]

He has a white coach, so...

[LIGHTNINGLEVIS]

UFC RULES TBH

[samsever69]

I Hate this man. definatey a person that crosses peoples boundaries and Yes a racist.

[dawidziwsko]

hopkins is lying, according to press reports and word from Adamek's camp. research it - don't just believe what you want to be the truth - there's a lot of deception in the world of boxing. Adamek would've taken 1.2mln in a heartbeat as he is convinced he can topple Bhop. That's what he thinks and I think he can.

[MrRealandreal]

Adameks is not a big name anywhy!

[stander1983]

Hes a racist who got beat by a white boy

[teemack]

he's not a racist--he was just hyping the fight, playing the villain as always.  but he did get beat by a white boy though.

[teemack]

who else?

[batosmak]

True Professional. Held the middleweight crown for 10 years.

[imperialpod]

Yep, he's a true philosopher to...........

'Its not the size of the dog in the fight'

'Its the dog in a fight'

Let him with eyes see that this is wisdom. LOL!

[mibzzz01]

never did Hopkins offer Adamek 1.2 M. that is completly not true. Adamek said that if he even got 500K he would take it, but the 500K was offered to the whole camp, so Adamek had to split that with the promoters, trainers and the rest. hopskins needed to backuot from the finght and that was the only way to do it. what a liar !!! Adamek rejects 1.2 million but takes a fight for 200K, please:)

[dawidziwsko]

A would b nuts 2 take 500k. Even 1.2, which A would take, isn't fair. Every1's concentrating on A's pay & no1 is talking H's share - Quite possibly 10x that of A's. Don't criticize A 4 trying 2 get his. All the articles I've read on the topic criticize Hopkins 4 selling A short. I respect B-hop, but after decrying the unfair treatment he got over the years, he's become a greedy hypocrite. A ain't scared! But, he won't put HIS title on the line 4 peanuts while the other man is eating steak! Duh!

[oOoPlayCeeoOo]

the king mp., you hurd

[itskin408]

Bernard Hopkins is a legend.

[boxingfanofthegame]

Legend

[Method33139]

They started off offering him $500k, and then eventually upped t to $1.2M. No options. That's a pretty clean deal. Adamek balked and took a fight for ~ $200K.

[dawidziwsko]

Where did you find that info? All the sources I found state 500k as the offer.

[Method33139]

500K might have been initial, low ball price talk to see where they take it from there, but, GBP then went back and offered $1.2, which Team Adamek balked on, instead opting to fight for $200k.

[onetwopunchyerface]

TYSON FURY is the future of the HW division

[comedicstuff]

TYSON FURY SUCKS MONKEY SHIT.

[joshuacollins1990]

lmao, tyson fury will get beat by top opposition, just look at how he fights and put him up agenst haye...exactly!

[memorylane7]

Absolutely, Hopkins could be an excellent trainer. He has all the wisdom and knowledge to share with others.

[10562864]

i fucking love thes Hopkind :D

[StreebosVault]

Thanks for posting this. Nice to hear the truth straight from Hopkins. Adamek made a mistake not taking this fight. A win over Hopkins would make him a megastar in Poland.

[YogiBear13]

I don't know about that offer. From what I heard Hopkins offered 500k for this fight. I think Adamek would take the fight for 1.2 million in a heart beat.

Bernard is a smart boxing mind I loved the way he answered the rest of those questions. I would like to see him be a trainer when he finally retires.
