This is a great honor and I'm grateful for the Atlantic City Boxing Hall of Fame for making this happen," Hopkins said in a November 16 RingTV interview with Joseph Santoliquito. "Watch who you co-sign for; you can't sell me black to get in the door. You can't sell me white to get in the door. You can't sell me half white or half black or none of that to get in the door. But you can sell me LOYALTY" said former two-division champion Bernard Hopkins.

Inductees will be named in three categories: Fighter, Trainer & Cut-Men and Special Contributors. "It was a great honor to hear I was going to be inducted into Atlantic City Boxing Hall of Fame.

It's a great boxing town and it is an honor to be inducted into the Atlantic City Boxing Hall of Fame" says Micky Ward.
