Instead of paraphrasing, I'll paste a small part of a very long article written before the Hopkins-Taylor fight by Thomas Hauser:
But instead of moving to a staredown with Jermain, Bernard approached DiBella. Hopkins knows how to place his punches in and out of the ring. In both venues, he has been known to go low. Twelve years ago, after being disabled in a skiing accident, DiBella's brother had committed suicide. DiBella had shared that information with Hopkins in earlier years when the fighter and promoter had been friends. Now --
"You're going to kill yourself tomorrow night," DiBella says Hopkins told him. "It's the end of your life tomorrow night. You know about people killing themselves. You'll slit your throat or take pills and not wake up on Sunday morning."
I hadn't seen that before, thanks for posting.
'Nard always cracks me up.
He probably did his infamous "throat slit" taunt afterward.
You think I'd be sad to see that ******* get KO'd?
