Good quote...

Bernard Hopkins: Don King is no more!



“It’s bigger than [winning] to me,” explained Hopkins of his refusal to accept the status quo. “We have kids in this country where 80% of them are obese. They’re eating the wrong things, doing the wrong things. And I could be the poster boy that you can do it this way. I made myself that. Because they don’t want me to be, because I’m not the right type of person they want to use, because I’m not going to throw money around to make a fool of myself, or wear a hat backwards and show my underwear to get ratings. I’m not going to play their game. Some admire it, some despise it, and some go wherever the wind blows.”
