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.
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
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.
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??!
eat right he probably doesn't eat that much junk food, trains year around and genes help a little as 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.
