I'm not going to give up. If you pay attention to my plan and the way I live and the way I eat, then you have a chance to extend your life a few more years.

You're not going to see a new Bernard Hopkins. I'm too old for that crap. I think what you will see is something different that I know I am capable of doing.

I was told I would be back in 90 days. If I listened to people, I would be back where I came from - the penitentiary.

There's no great person that lived that didn't go through scrutiny or ridicule and prosecution in all types of ways, to be who they are in history.

Enjoy that you can see me now. I would love to see the great Michael Jordan and Julius Erving in their younger days, but they're gone. Look at me at 50, I'm going to eat right and live right so I can take less punches and look normal.

I function better when my back is to the wall.

I got knocked down. Anybody could be knocked down, anybody can be knocked out, but it's not what happened, but what happens next.
