I think it would be dumb for any of us who are not familar with him personally to sound off on what kind of a person he is. Lets face it, Bernard is a "showman", so most of us are only familiar with the character of Bernard Hopkins, not Bernard Hopkins the person.

He's kept his nose clean, he hasn't bitten someone's ear off or raped a beauty contestant, so theres really no need to speculate on him as a person IMO.
