	HBO: Boxing: Fighters: Bio: BERNARD HOPKINS
		From 1990 to 1992, Bernard Hopkins put his heart and soul into his work with Fisher in the gym, and the results were visible when he stepped into the ring, as he scored 19 consecutive victories over that period.
		It was during this year that Hopkins threw his hat in the ring to compete in a four-man tournament to determine an undisputed middleweight champion.
		Yet while Hopkins is admirably preparing for life after boxing, there is still work to be done inside the ring, and like a fine wine, the 40-year-old is getting better with age, something he owes to his Spartan work ethic and clean living philosophy.

	Bernard Hopkins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bernard Hopkins (born January 15, 1965) —nicknamed The Executioner— is a professional boxer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, regarded by experts to be one of the best middleweight fighters of all time.
		Bernard Hopkins was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and grew up in the Raymond Rosen housing projects and later in Germantown, where he got involved in crime and gang activity at a young age.
		Hopkins has begun initial consultations with Mackie Shilstone, the revered sports fitness expert, to determine whether or not it would be feasible for Hopkins to build a heavyweight physique capable of competing with the much larger Maskaev [5].

	Jermain Taylor vs. Bernard Hopkins II
		Hopkins finally found his rhythm in the 10th, and he jolted Taylor several times, however, he was unable to maintain his attack and his one-shot at a time tactics never fully allowed him to dominate his title defense.
		Hopkins simply wasted too many of the early rounds feeling out his opponent and Taylor made him pay by racking up an early lead and then surviving the Executioner's late heavy artillery.
		He fought a very smart fight in his first bout with Hopkins and the question is will he be able to maintain his discipline and dominate the early going with a shotgun left jab before pulling the trigger on his wicked right hand.

	FOX Sports - Boxing - Bernard Hopkins' place in history (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Now that Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins has won the light-heavyweight title against Antonio Tarver, and done so impressively at the advanced age of forty-one, perhaps it's time to assess his place in middleweight history, especially now that he is retired.
		What hurt Hopkins the most in rating him were the relative infrequency of his fights compared to other all time greats, and the fact that he fought in one of the divisions weakest eras.
		Bernard Hopkins — Best of a weak era, but at the age of forty-one, he was able to show us just how great he really was by stepping up in class and soundly whipping Antonio Tarver for the light heavyweight title.

	Bernard Hopkins: Part Two- The CEO
		More on that hill later, but at the time Bouie Fisher filed suit against Hopkins, it appeared to all that the thinking man’s champion, the maverick, had outthought himself, had made one move on the chess board too many, and was now stuck in a corner with no way out.
		Hopkins and Fisher eventually reconciled without going to court, and Bouie was back after Sloan Harrison manned the corner for the champion’s March 2003 defense against Morrade Hakkar – another fight for which Hopkins drew ridicule as the fighter that threw away the winning lottery ticket.
		So Hopkins kept winning, beating William Joppy in December of last year, and people again started to warm to "The Executioner" as a fighter, hoping that a marquee matchup could be made to showcase him or expose him against one of the best in the world.

		That's one reason why Hopkins has been able to fight at 160 pounds the last 15 years when most boxers would have eaten their way out of the middleweight division.
		Unfortunately for Hopkins, that discipline is paired with a stubbornness – some say paranoia – that for years prevented him from taking advantage of his position as the best middleweight of his time.
		Hopkins will turn 41 next month, a time when most fighters in Las Vegas trade the gloves in for a fork and knife at the casino buffet.

		Having protested Cortez twice before, (in Hopkins vs Trinidad and in Hopkins vs Joppy), Bernard now decides that Cortez could be harboring some sort of animosity against him and therefore, he attempts to strong-arm the Commission and the promotion, (strong-arming got him a hefty jail sentence years ago), into eliminating Cortez from this fight.
		Bernard Hopkins is not now, nor has he ever been the draw.
		Hopkins' insatiable thirst for attention during the Trinidad promotion prompted him to disrespect the Latino fans who -by all accounts- are the lifeline of the sport; the same need for recognition now puts him in what many consider a no win situation.
