    Will Bernard Hopkins release a book about his life?

    With a lot of boxers releasing books, does anyone think Hopkins will release a book about his life?

    I think him and Jesus Chavez have a similar story with differnt turns but similar outcomes in that they both became champions and were in prison but their story is differnt, but i'd like to also hear what Hopkins has to say. There been many ex prison inmates who have turned their life around after doing time in prison. And its good to hear their story, especially when more then one are able to succed in life and stay out of prison. I know we also have some ex inmates that sadly fell back into the prison system and i which is why i'd like to hear Hopkins story too. Anybody else think Hopkins will release his life story on book?

    Well somebody would have to release it with him probably. Bernard's grammar and spelling probably aren't too good, lol.

            I've been saying for awhile that Hopkins should write a book. He could work with a Phil Berger or a Thomas Hauser to help him get his story across. That would be a great read.

              Yeah, he has a book out, called "mi vida loca." Reason im asking is say you know sombody in prison or ya, you want to get them to realize that other have been in their shoes and have walked the same line as them, been to pen, been locked up for years but came out and made somthing out of themselves. I think its good for these type of books to be released especially when you got fighters like Hopkins, Chavez, Tapia who have been through so much, that i think a book about them some troubled kid or adult can read there story and hopfully help them see the light or just keep them focused of there goal.

              I was looking at the weight in pics/article at newsfight and i seen Hopkins holding the hands up of Marquez and Jaca and man it just hit me that here a great fighter thats been through so much and he's happy which is good. He had some trouble but came out alright, and i think his story like the others are always good for the youngsters and older generation.

                I know Mayweather gets a lot of attention for being dedication fighter which he is and other boxers should get the same recognition cause they work hard day in and day out in the gym. But Hopkins imo, he changed his whole life style, meaning he became a vegatarian and a work out freak to stay at middleweight and that show dedication, thats dedication not anybody can do. And he too has been through a lot and he story too should be told.

                Its like Julian Letterlough, this guy was in prison boxing saved his life got him off the streets in the right path. Then some **** went down and he got stabbed and killed. Somtimes you can't escape the streets and somtimes you can, im not saying Letterlough did wrong cause i dont know the whole story. But its always good to hear about sombody whos been in your shoes and has succeded, gives people hope.
