Just as the bell sounded to end the 12th round after humilating Tarver , Hopkins leaned through the ropes and said something to Emmaneul Steward.

Does anyone remember what he said ? it was too loud to hear it where I was.

He told him to tell Jermain to be a true champion like he did for so many years and that he would be there to root him on next week.

Classy of the guy. Great exit.

yeah I think he said for "Jermain to retain the title so they can be champions at the same time and that he would be there to root for him"

That was a respectful thing to say. I still haven't seen the fight though.

Thanks dude. A class act by a legend. Makes me dislike egghead Tarver even more.
