Bernard Hopkins quotes Born: 01/15/1935 Country: usa

• As a promoter representing a fighter, who in this case is myself, I knew I was doing the right thing by filing this appeal, … And for the oldest sanctioning body in boxing to support my case, after reviewing the tape themselves, speaks for itself. I am very happy with the decision. (Bernard Hopkins) [right/thing/soul & body/boxing]
• I got my butt kicked. (Bernard Hopkins)
• I was knocking guys out in the streets before I knew how to throw a jab and keep your chin down, … In most neighborhoods, the guy that could fight gets respect. You got in the parties free. I never had to pay the dollar because people were scared of me. But back then I was ignorant. (Bernard Hopkins) [fight/respect/dollar/people]
• I was totally ignorant to boxing other than throwing punches, … That’s when I became eager to learn why did it happen, how did it happen and how to prevent it. (Bernard Hopkins) [boxing]
• I won’t say the decision was good for boxing, … But rivalries are. Jermain Taylor won this fight, but he knows he didn’t win it like the public wants to see. That’s why we’ll have a rematch and I’ll come back like champions do. (Bernard Hopkins) [decision/boxing/fight]
• I‘ve been called stupid for five, 10, 15 years, and I get manager of the year, … I’ve got a lot of people mad at me because of the success I’ve had. (Bernard Hopkins) [manager/people]
• If my mom was here, I wouldn’t still be boxing, … I had promised her I wouldn’t be fighting at 40 and she kept waiting for 40, but by that time she had passed. But this is all like blessings in disguise for me because I’m still here able to fight. (Bernard Hopkins) [boxing/time/fight]
• The motivation now is to get the guys that I know that give me a greater threat. (Bernard Hopkins) [motivation/give/threat]
• The one thing I’ve always been is a leader, … Even when I was out in the streets doing all kinds of wrong and ended up going to prison, I was never a follower. The guys I rode with looked up to me. (Bernard Hopkins) [thing/leader/prison]
