Comments Thread For: Video: Bernard Hopkins Discusses His Loss To Kovalev

[BoxingFan82]

Bernard has been my favorite fighter since his first fight with Antwun Echols in 1999.

Last night was bittersweet. I was obviously hoping Bernard would deliver one more gift to fans in the form of an upset victory over Kovalev, but watching the post-fight interview and press conference, I couldn't help but smile. As proud and accomplished a boxer as Bernard is, he demonstrated what a humble and classy man he is.

Bernard took a loss last night but even in defeat, he's a true winner.

Classy interview. Sad day, but Hopkins is not the last of the great fighters. I would argue that Mayweather will be the last of the great fighters when he retires. Maybe Ward as well.

Great fight for both fighters. Kovalev proved he is as good as we thought. Hopkins, the alien, stands alone.

Great interview. Hopkins is the man.

Top 10 all-time Middleweight, yes, no to All-time P4P as he could only outbox mediocre boxers. And it's been proven now. Every time he steps up to real talent, he failed.

As much as I hate Hopkins, I have to give him his props for this. Dude gave his respect.
