Quotes by Bernard Hopkins

I avoid processed food.

A body that doesn't move mentally or physically dies.

I have to be smarter than my opponents. I have to figure out their styles in the ring. I have to be three or four steps ahead of them. So my mind has to be sharp.

Money is great, but history is something that you can never get rid of and act like it didn't happen.

I am a great champion.

I'm special, in a way that is good. I don't have to explain 'special.' There is no definition for special. Special speaks for itself.

I think being 50 and being me is different than any other fighter in any era.

There is nothing more important than staying alert, reading your opponent, that counts for both inside and outside the ring.

I do much less sparring and always with the purpose of working on something in particular.

I am not going to eat something that I have been told is not good for my system, and I do what I can to eat energy food, such as lean meats, whole grains, and lots of fruit and vegetables. Without this daily habit, my body would have given up a long time ago. There is no magic pill, no magic drink, no magic food.
