Bernard Hopkins explains Tyson incident and Fight Night 2005

I cannot get enough of fight night 2004 i cant wait til 2005 comes out. definately one of the best games of 2004. Both games are great games. Next years game looks great as well.

this is only a marketing strategy to promote their latest game.... dont be fooled this is how business works. want to sell you stuff then get it sensationalized.

Definately, but I want Foreman and Tyson to be in it too goddmnd!

Media is all looking to make up a story about tyson

from:www.easports.com CHAMPION MIDDLEWEIGHT SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT Bernard Hopkins on His "Altercation" With Mike Tyson and His Fight Night 2005 Photo Shoot Still riding high from his decisive knockout of Oscar De La Hoya on September 18, middleweight legend Bernard Hopkins found himself in Chicago recently to be photographed – and later digitized – by the Fight Night 2005 team, as they strive to achieve the most possible detailed ever seen in a boxing video game. Imagine Hopkins' surprise when, during the EA SPORTS shoot, he was called by several media organizations looking for a comment on a supposed altercation he and his entourage had with famous heavyweight Mike Tyson outside a club following the Source Awards in mid-October. Not only was Hopkins not involved in any sort of scuffle, he says, but he and Tyson are good friends. We had a few minutes to talk to Hopkins after the shoot, so he could set the record straight in an exclusive interview given to EASPORTS.com. EA SPORTS: It's been reported that you and Mike Tyson got into a little dust-up, which you say is news to you. What's the real story with this incident? Bernard Hopkins: There ain't no real story. I don't know where they got that from. That's something that, I don't know, I mean – at least they could have given me somebody my size. Mike Tyson is like one of my top friends in boxing. I mean he comes to my fights all the time. The last three or four fights, I turn around and Mike is there… at the press conference, in my dressing room. Now, it's in the Post or the radio that out there at the Source Awards, that Mike Tyson and Bernard Hopkins and his entourage got into a fight. Now, I'm telling you right now that that's a lie, and this is the first time I've heard of this today in Chicago. I don't know where they get that from, man. I don't know. EA SPORTS: Did you guys actually run into each other and talk to each other? What really happened? Bernard Hopkins: Well, Mike Tyson was at the Source Awards, and we see each other and hugged and everything, and that was it. Everything between me and Mike is cool, man. That's why I'm kind of like – Roy Jones, maybe. Trinidad, great possibility. But Mike Tyson? No, man. I don't know if that's a good thing that this is out there or a bad thing, but first of all, I was out there with one person. Maybe they said Tyson had the entourage, because he has four or five people around him every time I see him, but definitely not Bernard Hopkins. EA SPORTS: How often do you find this happens, where the media takes something innocent and blows it completely out of proportion? Bernard Hopkins: I don't know, man. Now I know how celebrities feel when they read something they really know they hadn't . It's funny to me; I'm not upset. Trust me, even though I know that I didn't have the slightest argument with Mike Tyson, I'm not upset because I'm like, if that's something that somebody could do to bring some excitement that's already in my life now since September 18, so be it. I guess when Mike Tyson gets asked that question, he's going to be as totally bewildered as I was. I thought it was a joke, for real. EA SPORTS: Yeah, this seems like a weird one. Bernard Hopkins: It's not weird that Mike Tyson would get in an altercation, but it's weird that it's with Bernard Hopkins, who never … had anything that had to do with fighting boxers in the room or at a press conference to hype up the situation. Me and Mike Tyson are never going to fight in life. I mean, he's my friend. I have respect for him. I've known Mike for years. EA SPORTS: What's going on in Chicago with the Fight Night 2005 shoot? Bernard Hopkins: It was work, but good work though. See, there's good work, and work when you don't want to work – it's not something that you're excited about when you know you have to be somewhere, and you really don't want to be there. But this was great. It's my first time being in the situation where you're getting that exposure to another entity of the sport. To be able to show your legs and your muscles and get everything down detailed so the guys can put something together right for you – I tell, it's respect that I'm given for hard work and being a winner. It's stuff that comes with the territory. It's a blessing to be a part of that. What a crazy rumor! But it would be fun to see Hopkins take on Tyson in a no holds brawl type event. :D

No way, he's going to be a victim of old age.

bernard hopkins is gonna be another victim of that EA sports cover curse.

i like the game but i hated how you couldn't move your legs while punching, leaning, or blocking. Good graphics and control otherwise. and tyson would ruin hopkins in a street fight.

the controls????fight nght controls can be set to KK controls...the game was perfect almost..best game to date...expect i would have loved more boxers like in kk 2001

tyson is lucky, Hopkins would of made an example of him and his posse w/ one hand tied behind his back.QUOTE] I hope you weren't serious when you said that..

I cannot get enough of fight night 2004 i cant wait til 2005 comes out. definately one of the best games of 2004. Big tigger killed it for me. I cant stand that guy. I like the old Knockout Kings. For me they are much easier to play and got alot better fighters.

i wish we could get some new info on the game! Lacy looks like a freaking heavyweight!!!

only thing i care about is...fight night 2005...hell yeah..!..hehe anyway its gonna rock..i hope the improve all the caracter traits (power-stamina-etc..) hopkins-(if he's in it)-tyson-pac-MAB will probably be the best in the game and hardest to beat...i love boxing games...you guys dont???

lol i wonder what would happen if they bumped into eachother...my guess would prolly be B-Hop in a coma.

whatever - whatever - whatever

I heard that Victorious Boxers 2 out did Fight Night 2004 in everything except for graphics. From all that I've read on it onit's features and gameplay and whatnot, it sounds to be true.

I don't know about any curse but the Fight Night 2004 game itself is tight as hell. If 2005 Fight Night is even just slightly improved I'm getting it.

ya ya 2004 was a big improvement since ko kings 2002 but there's tons of things they should work on it's to fake n they need to speed tha game up more boxers they should have dlh tyson lots of todays boxers and hagler n hearns n dempsey n joe louis foreman and more welters and everythin i hope tha game will be a back improvement n tha ea curse is true Vince Carter sucks now now on nba 2005 it's carmelo anthony, goody bye carmelo

Man, I really hope Hopkins doesn't suffer from this coverboy curse.

fight night 2004 rocks, i hope Hopkins gets the cover so he can get his stats boosted up high, and theres no chance in hell lil ole bitch tito could beat Hopkins, in matter fact tyson is lucky, Hopkins would of made an example of him and his posse w/ one hand tied behind his back. its good to have some legit news on fight night 2005, hope they add more boxers like floyd, whitaker, quartey, cotto, eastman, castillo, corrales and so on :cool:
