"PACQUIAO'S AN ALL-AROUND FIGHTER" - HOPKINS EXPLAINS PACQUIAO'S SUCCESS AT 40; ELITE PRAISE FOR WIN

Imagine Michael Buffer announcing: "From Saranggani Province...

The Boxing Senator, The People's Champion, The Pound for Pound Great, The Boxing's Legend and Future Hall of Famer... The Fighting Pride of the Philippines...Manny 'The GOAT' Pacquiao!"

Praised and Big Respect to Hopkins for his honest and unbiased opinion the legend has spoken..

This dude deserves so much more recognition. There should be a movie about his life one day. Amazing fighter with an amazing story.

Pacquiao was asked “your 40 years old, what is your greatest achievement in life?” Pacquiao answered “Knowing Jesus Christ...”

Great praise for Hopkins for such honest words on his fellow legend, Pacquiao!

He couldn't of said it any better, and this is coming from another legend in the sport who outlasted all of the fighters in his era becoming the oldest man to win a title. I told people it was the Pacman's diversity of skills on why he was able to be an elite young athletic fighter at age 40, wasn't just his speed. When you can fight many of styles and have adapted other elements to your game, you'll always be difficult to beat, and that's why no one has beat Pacquaio up yet or beat him decisively since Erik Morales. He evolved after the Morales loss. His right hand became as good as his left(that was the major weapon that beat Thurman, knocked out Hatton, punished Margarito and it was something that was missing in the second half of the Mayweather fight when he reinjured it) his footwork got better and became the best in the game and his defensive guard and ability to deflect punches combining boxing and the martial art techniques to catch punches better and this is why he's still on top and made history again.

I remember Hopkins he said, "style makes fight"..hardworking Pacquiao, his style, speed and power always the best..even at 40..

People don't see the genius in the way Pacquiao fights in addition to taking care of his body.

Glad to see BHop having no sign of the effects of prolonged boxing having fought in his 50s.

this is definitely the most accurate non bias comment i've ever heard!

You know that someone is The Best if his doubters turns to believers.

Hop started late in boxing . Pac has been fighting since he was a teenager . Champion at 19. Now champion at 40.

Pac showed that his style of boxing works still even at "old" age. Against a guy in his "prime." Therefore, he's GOAT

I like B Hopkins honesty in his interview here no sugar coatings. Life style is the most important thing to any athlete of any sport to stay longer in your respective field and Pacquiao has done it right just like what B Hopkins did during his hayday. Even now at the age of 50 plus B Hopkins still looks very fit and athletic imo unlike other great boxers during their time.

Bernard Hopkins is one of the greatest boxer of all time.. He knows real boxing🤗🤗🤗

EVERYTHING HAS A REASON AND REASON IS FOR EVERYTHING (GOD'S PLAN) #A TRUE WARRIOR MP

Pac in top 10 GOat! Pac been in tough fights. Legends fights legends! and still beating top notch undefeated boxers in the new era at age of 41! The Last OG making history!

i still remember what bernard hopkins predicted when pacquiao was knock out cold by marques he said that pacquiao will never recover again now he realized that hes wrong and give pacquiao the credit he deserved

Best EVER said about Manny Pacquiao’s caliber! Bottom Line....

a very articulate and insightful opinion from this legendary boxing great, Bernard Hopkins. well said, sir.
