In an exclusive interview with popular sports site www.madeupinterviews.com, Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins gave frank insights into his gritty Philadelphia upbringing.
"What you see with Bernard Hopkins is the product of an upbringing that no man on this planet could conceive of, not even men in a war zone," he declared of his tough lifestyle in the suburbs of Philadelphia.
"When I was born the area was so tough the midwife put a gun to my head. But Bernard Hopkins is so tough I came out of my mother's womb holding a grenade and punched the delivery Doctor in the face. Bernard Hopkins isn't scared of any man. When I was in prison after being stabbed 9786 times I knocked out over eight thousand men."
"When I was eleven I was caught in the epicentre of a nuclear explosion. Lesser men than Bernard Hopkins would have given in then and there, dawg, but Bernard Hopkins has been through it all. Show me a fighter that's rich, and I don't want to know him. Show me a fighter that's so poor he had to spend every day eating broken glass and barbed wire and that's Bernard Hopkins, dawg."
"See, I'm old school. I'll fight anyone, anywhere, any time. Some mornings I'll wake up and stick a firecracker up my ass and bathe in acid just to remind myself of what real hardship is like."
"When I take a crap on the toilet, Bernard Hopkins doesn't do it the same way any other man would do, dawg. I'll grab hold of that toilet, headbutt it and then make it quit. By the time Bernard Hopkins is ready to **** in that toilet it'll be ready to wave the white towel. That's what I do. I execute my craps. That's what Bernard Hopkins is all about, dawg."
