"I'm waiting on one of these young guys...to show that I'm old." -- 42-year-old boxer Bernard Hopkins

Know plenty of people out there were disappointed with the outcome of the Oscar De La Hoya/Floyd Mayweather bout back in May. I wasn't really one of 'em, but I will say that from where I'm sitting, I'm more excited to see how this Bernard Hopkins/Winky Wright match goes down. I've been a Hopkins fan since he came through and knocked Felix Trinidad off his pedestal. But I will also admit that I'm hoping the guy doesn't overstay his welcome in the ring. Forty-two is no spring chicken. Still, after watching this video, I'm not so sure he should leave just yet.

Also, check Hopkins embracing UFC.

Note to boxers: It wouldn't hurt to have some of those guys in your corner.

Hopkins/Wright, this Saturday on HBO Boxing. Peep game.
