At age 46, Bernard Hopkins stepped in the ring to challenge WBC, IBO and Ring Magazine Light Heavyweight Champion, Jean Pascal for a second time.

After fighting to a draw in their first bout–a fight many believed should have gone in Hopkins’ favor–BHop once again traveled to Pascal’s home in Montreal, Canada to fight.

Once again, making doubters into believers, Hopkins simply outclassed Pascal. Pascal had no answers on that night, as Hopkins would go on to break George Foreman’s record of being the oldest man to win a championship.
