Bernard Hopkins: You can't put a lion in the water

SUPER HLUK - Didn't he used to talk shit about MMA?
Is he the same guy who said it was 'gay porn'?  Glad he's coming to terms with his sexuality these days.

Bernard is right from a sports perspective, mmaers work boxers in mma, boxers work mmaers in boxing. This should be a no brainer.

He didn't talk shit just said it's gay to watch. Im sure we can all agree with that at times. Phone Post

Not to mention if you don't know what's going on. If your career is punching people until they're unconscious, then you hear about this new fighting fad and see a bleached blonde sunburnt Hallman in a speedo with his cock poping out, humping the back of a man with a 70s porn amount of body hair shaped as an arrow going to his mouth...

Let's just say MMA can be a bit faggy.

But hey, fighters are fighters and he told Helwani he's changed his mind now that he's learned more about it. That should be enough for anyone here!

There are a ton of boxers who've started getting interested in MMA. Same with NFLers, if you think about, the best type of demographic for watching UFC would be these hyper athletic, macho killers that populate the NFL or boxing

I believe that some sharks have been able to get on land and fight the lions..But to a degree, this analogy does not work. I believe for the ones who have never boxed or competed standing at all, it may apply. But there are tons of fighters who have trained or competed in kickboxing, boxing, muay thai, etc.

 Rickson Gracie, if I'm not mistaken.

 I have known B-hop for quite a few years and I can tell you he always respected MMA don't confuse what he says to the media to get himself hyped with what he actually thinks. Years ago in my office he told me" them mma guys are crazy, I would never do that to dangerous".

I'm pretty sure it was JJ Machado, and it was something like "I am a shark the ground is my ocean and most people don't even know how to swim.

Hopkins is a badass. When he was The Man in North Philly, if he liked your chain he would ask to see it, and if it fit nice, he'd walk away with it.

To be able to do that in North Philly means you have to have scared the shit out of people beyond most people's imagination.
