It's been a long time since Bernard Hopkins scored a knockout. So long, in fact, that the fighter himself betrayed a haziness that is totally atypical of a man who is so dialed in on staying in shape that he steers clear of sugar like it's rat poison. He asked for the year on Wednesday at B.B. King Blues Club & Grill in Manhattan during a presser to tout his Saturday clash in Atlantic City, N.J. against Karo Murat, a German-based boxer. One wiseguy yelled "2004," which is when a Hopkins left hook convinced Oscar De la Hoya that the middleweight division was a bridge too far for him.
