    Comments Thread For: Bernard Hopkins and The Law of Survival

    By Patrick Kehoe - Don’t let Bernard Hopkins’ penchant for contradiction or philosophical peripeteia force you to lose your way. His time on this earth and a million situations overcome and endured and “The Executioner” remains the same old rugged survivalist, the same old cold warrior, calling forth his ultimate destiny to bring all before him to submission. Hopkins defiantly remains a solitary man, hardened to the rituals of task, purposeful in his self-caricaturizing busyness (eternally fit) and idealistic glorifications (himself as The American Dream), respected though seldom loved, ever cutting away the fleshy matter of trivializing excess.

    For his latest sojourn to fight WBC light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal – this time deep into the motherland of the Quebecois, Quebec City – he’s already insulted his hosts noting that “Canada” is much the same as “northern New York.” With that remark, the politics of the ‘Two Solitudes’ reconstitute the jaws of life snapping around him; though, Hopkins, of course, remains indifferent, indefatigable and poignantly aligned to what he thinks of as merely one more page in the saga of his personal history.

        writer is a Hopkins fanboy...


        he believes in all Hopkins self hype...

        and did he actually say Calzaghe gave a boxing lesson to Hopkins ?!



        another thing that shows how much the writer is a Hopkins nuthugger, he is already downplaying a potential Pascal win

        this article makes me

                He is the same old racist piece of **** too! I don't like Popkins (I respect his body of work as a younger fighter though) and his work rate is down to approx 10 punches per round. Let's hope Pascal knocks him for a loop and retires him for good...
