“When you hold the cards in your hands, then you’re in a position of power. I really want to make sure I’m always represented in a way that I feel is appropriate and makes a difference. I’ve been offered stuff I refuse to take because I don’t believe in the company or what I have to do or look like. I want to be someone who makes it so a little girl somewhere realizes she doesn’t have to be hyper-sexualized or bow down…”

“I mean, if he’s willing to fight me on May 5 that gives me enough time to prepare. Ideally, I’d like one fight in the 147 division before moving on to Mayweather. What people don’t understand is that in my last few fights I’ve been weighing in at heavier weights, around 150 to 154. I’ve been getting used to fighting around 147 and higher…”

“Even though I’ve stopped 10 out of my last 11 opponents, I don’t go out there looking for the knockout. I go out there and stick to my game plan. If I’m on my A game, there’s not too many heavyweights that can withstand 10 or 12 rounds of the pressure I put on in my fights…”

“Far as me having a couple of names, I just want to fight the best fighters out there. I want the Floyd Mayweathers and Manny Pacquiaos, the cream of crop. A lot of the guys they’ve been fighting don’t have the credentials I have. They’re either all over the hill or like when Mayweather fought a supposed young lion in Victor Ortiz…”

“I’ve been working on my timing, movement and boxing. You’ll see boxing and you’ll see pressure. One thing [in particular] you’ll see is a bunch of combinations. My hands won’t stop moving, but I’ll be doing 12 rounds of consistent, hard punching…”
Nonito Donaire: The Ups and Downs of a Pound 4 Pound Fighter

“I think my main target is both Nishioka and Arce,” Donaire explained. “Beating Jhonny Gonzalez and Rafael Marquez a couple of weeks ago has moved Nishioka up to the top of that list. They are the two guys I have my eyes on in the 122 pound category. In terms of difficulty I think Nishioka being a southpaw would be a much more difficult fight than Arce.
Bernard Hopkins Plans Boxing Lesson for Chad Dawson
Posted: October 14, 2011 in Fight InterviewsTags: Bernard Hopkins, Boxing, Chad Dawson, Gary Shaw, Golden Boy Promotions, HBO, Interview
Five months ago, Bernard Hopkins achieved the perfect ending to his career. After outboxing Jean Pascal and gutting out a 12th round where he was stunned by a right hand, Hopkins at 46 years old was now the oldest man in sports history ever to win a major title. It could have been a fitting and rarely achieved glorious end for a man who survived prison, boxing politics, and the brain debilitating blows of opponents in the ring.
