"Still got the fire, still got the legs," ring legend Bernard Hopkins told Fightnews.com. "I'm out of retirement, this is the first announcement. Bernard Hopkins is out of retirement. Bernard Hopkins is going to fight until he can't fight no more. Bernard Hopkins has a good three to four years of boxing to give the world what they need. Boxing right now needs Bernard Hopkins. Boxing needs the personality of Bernard Hopkins, boxing don't need me per say as an athlete but they need my personality. No one in the world does an interview like Bernard Hopkins, no one holds it down like Bernard Hopkins. Love me or hate me. You will get a sound byte whether you agree or disagree with me and at the end of the day when you sit ringside, you know Bernard Hopkins will give a 'Bernard Hopkins' performance."

Cool Click bro!

but who's he gonna fight? the article didnt say?

Will it be Maskaev? That was the fight that was being talked about a while ago...but if he's got a few more years, then I'd like to see him match iup with Joe Calzaghe sometime next year. But seriously....how many people speak about themselves in the third person that much...it seems as though Bernard Hopkins is trying to remind Bernard Hopkins that Bernard Hopkins's name is Bernard Hopkins.

man i talked alot of ishhhhhhh about hopkins but if he goes up to HW and unifies damn NO ONE can front on that!

This is as valid as Vitali's or Lennox's "comeback" in 3 weeks Hopkins will say he isn't retired.

Hopkins wouldn't fight because he has 3 years in boxing he'd only fight for money. Just because he speaks in the 3rd person 20 times it doesnt sound like something Hopkins would say.

Unfortunately...I gotta disagree...3rd person or not...he'll come back & probably fight at 200lbs.

B-Hop vs JoeCal would have been a big fight. I'd love to see Hopkins take the belt off of Maskaev and then fight Toney. If B-Hop steps in with a Klitschko, Peter, or even Briggs, I really could see him get KOed in the first round.

It's boxing, who the hell cares. It's not as if NIgel Benn was an intelligent person.. Hopkins is at least a great fighter.

What has Kessler done to warrant such a comment
