Old cutman Percy Richardson told me there were levels to the fight game and then got me some sparring with Bernard Hopkins sparring partners. His sparring partners were unbeatable to me. Then he told me to stay and watch young Bernard dismantle these guys that i thought were unbeatable. Percy pulled me to the side and then pointed out that if i cant beat this ans sparring partners then what the hell do u think the champs will do to you. Bottom line, there is only one king of the hill and u can hurt your self trying to reach that point just like Freddy Roach or many other boxers. At least he made money on the training end. Many of us end up damaged and broke. I had a great mentor, i went the cutman route
