It?s hard to imagine that Bernard Hopkins is still a relevant force in the sport of boxing. While the Philadelphia legend was far from spectacular six months ago in Las Vegas as he decisioned Roy Jones Jr. at the Mandalay Bay, the 45 year old has made a career out of surprising us time and time again.
On December 18th the old dog will once again go up against a man very much his junior as he attempts to wrestle the WBC light heavyweight crown away from Haitian born Canadian Jean Pascal at the Pepsi Coliseum in Quebec. Pascal is coming off of a stirring victory in which he took the initiative against previously undefeated Chad Dawson but nothing has seemed to shake Hopkins? confidence heading into the bout.
