Bernard Hopkins has aged really well..

roger mayweather is a base head, just look at his smoked away teeth!!!!! just listen how he talks and shit, it's classic base head mannerisms, etc. i work graveyard bartending out here in vegas and see people like him on a daily basis................. he's no different from the people wander around outside my bar............. other than he trains fighters.....

The fact that he doesnt drink or smoke crack probably makes the difference.

:wave:dahahaha that wasn't the question:grumpy: It's still relevant to the question :asshole: Everyone believes this myth that he is as good as he was in his prime or he's a better boxer than he was in his prime, and that's simply not true. He's only fighting once or twice a year for a reason. Even Hopkins admitted that it will be very hard for him to get motivated for one more fight.

It's called Islam. Hopkins is in peace When did Hopkins convert?

Hopkins is a gym rat, who eats well.

hopkins has the physical well being and health of a man who is 6/7 years his junior. he looks after himself outside the ring and inside the ring. inside the ring he doesn't take alot of punches, he has a good chin but doesn't exploit it. not only that but nazim richardson has always said that hopkins is a gym rat and loves being in the gym, this means that hes always in somewhat decent shape. add to that the high level of discipline he has with his diet (i.e. no alcohol, or junk food, no meat or swine) and its hardly a surprise that hes in such great condition.

Hopkins lied about his age. He is 35 really.

BH tries giving off this gansta, prison hard living dude. But he probably is the total opposite. Always reading food labels in the supermarket i bet and not wanting to put any posion in his body. If you smoked in his presense he would probably cry.

He's a gym rat who treats his body like a temple, as said in this thread already....a clean, healthy diet and hits the gym with a workhoarse mentality = success in life...he also has a very defensive and smart style and does not obsorb to much punishment in his bouts, some brawlers are shot before they hit 30.....Hopkins has dedicated his life to boxing, but still at age 46 the man is an enigma

It has everything to do with him not treating his body like shit, which means, not blowing up in between fights by staying in the gym, not eating sweets, smoking, or drinking alcohol. The man set himself up for success at this age. Tim Bradley is the only one I hear with a similar lifestyle, but he doesn't have the boxing style to still be relevant at an old age. He'll have to adapt like Hopkins did.

He certainly is in fantastic health physically and mentally it seems for a boxer in his mid 40's. I heard that he has not drank alcohol in something like 20 years and didn't he stick to a vegetarian diet for his whole run at MW? Old boxers still fighting at a high level is nothing new, Larry Holmes, Ali, Archie Moore were still very good boxers despite their old age. Hopkins is still a dangerous opponent, but he's not the same boxer as he was in his prime or even a 2003 version of Hopkins. His physical skills has been declining since 2005.

Hopkins is the legendary fighter he is because he treats his body like a temple rather than a garbage disposal. I might not be his biggest fan, but a fan I am, and I wish I could have that type of discipline. ****en gramma, why did you have to be such a damn great cook and teach my mom, who taught my wife those skills? this is how everything is supposed to be

Bernard Hopkins in his prime Bernard Hopkins past his prime, you see the difference?

I heard that crack and meth make you age twice as fast. Heard it from the grapevine and I'm not saying Roger is doing it. Just making a point...

He's in shape but don't be fooled, he's not the same boxer he was back in 2000-2003. His physical skills have declined, it's just not evident on the outside.

Bhop is a beast. The man has taken good care of himself in and outta the ring.

Hopkins is a man of faith, and lives well.

How is that possible? I'm looking at pictures of Roger Mayweather and he's only 4 years older than Hopkins and yet he looks like he's 70! How is this possible? What does Hopkins eat??! Roger frequently uses crack, for breakfast lunch and dinner. Also sometimes during brunch, before and after the gym. Also after getting into and after a motorized vehicle.

Any way, nard like I is a capricorn nard like I doesn't drink when you take care of yourself....you age very well....that simple. nard eats meat but im sure hes the type to eat mostly hilal and free grazed meat...no pork things like that.
