Wee-Yum Stuart And he was knocked out by the table and the floor. Hop is probably selling his next fight already. He'll probably fly to Russia or Ukraine and be a punching bag for a local hero. He, Roy and Shane should have a traveling boxing circus. They should call it the Ringding Brothers. Why wrestle with a declawed bear when you can knock out 3 hall of famers for a few more dollars ?
He knocked off the Ring and it was a long hard fall,of course he probably thought he got pushed but he wasn't in his right mind set he probably had a concussion.The video clearly shows he didn't get pushed out,it doesn't matter what Hopkins think
i was one of those who felt bhop beats him mainly because he did not fear him one bit. i tabbed tarver as a trouble opponent as well for the same reason
Exactly prime Roy murdered everyone. Only way to judge a fighter is their prime. The rest doesn't matter and prime Roy is the most physically gifted boxer ever.
see i feel like roy was feasting on so-so comp and got complacent at 175. he was pretty much primed then and i think him and hopkins would've gave us one for the ages tarver greatly benefited by roy's moving up to heavyweight but he would've given roy trouble regardless
@@ruffgodz9543 your acting like you think he did lol. The man left fights on the table with Julian Jackson, Gerald McClellan, Nigel Benn and many others
Remember the late great Muhammad Ali fought until there was absolutely nothing left. It's in them to keep fighting. Everyone that does something they love face the same thing. 1 day we will not be the same welder, the same forklift operator, the same cook,the same preacher, so forth and so on. I luv it when U go down swinging. I fucking luv that shit. Till the end
Why is it saddening? Because you have no balls and never cared that much about anything your life. What's sad is the fans telling the fighters how to go out after they gave us so much. If you had any respect for Bhop you wouldn't fee bad. You'd know this is exactly how he wanted it.
Nick Gojc EXACTLY... u cant fight 4ever and ever and expect to never lose or get knocked out.. They do these fights for a nice lil pay day, while they try to prove themselves at the same time.. U aint supposed to feel sorry for him.. He knows who he is and what hes doing.
I hear what some of these guys are saying but you hate to see legends take beatings unnecessarily. I understand that's the way they have to go out sometimes but you don't want to see brain injuries from fighting too long. I'm from Pensacola so of course I love Roy and I will always support him but I really don't want him to fight anymore. I was going to lift at PJC and I was walking through the basketball court and Roy was playing ball. I don't know if this guy was talking shit or if it was his friend but him and another guy decided to slap box. I thought this other guy is extremely brave or mildly retarded. Roy kept slapping the shit out of this guy until he quit. I knew the outcome before it started but the other guy just had to try. This was around 1993 to 94 so you know it was not a good idea to fight him back then.
Don Fettochini sonny was in his prime a champ who was knocking guys out and plus ali when he was past his prime was fighting younger guys and still beating them problem
Matador Hernandez Why Roy J is fighting ? He made enough money,he is destorying his legacy.Roy J was my fav boxer of the 90s 2000s.I can hear his sluring,i am afraid that he will get Parknson like ,James Tony,or Riddick Bow.Roy J family should force him to stop fighting,like Joe Frazier family.
Yeah well with that amount of muscle mass his punch resistance decreased as well. Smith being a heavy puncher eas a bad choice for him to take on after a 2 year lay off and at 52.
Look if fuckin BHOP had KO'D Smith right out the ring like that in his last fight we would never hear the end of it! Mad respect i have for Bernard, but he is 10 years older than me this has to be the end. Great boxer, right up there now just enjoy retirement.
I like Roy. Enjoyed watching him fight in his heyday, & (for the most part) listening to his fight analysis. The thing that bugs me about this video is how he says he knew Hopkins didn't have it from the 1st round, but all during the fight, he never mentioned anything close to it.
Roy Jones is one of the best pound for pound fighters, he fighting style and ring qualities have been copied by many other boxers, but credit is hardly given to him.
Daniel Jean-Baptiste How ? Why ? Who did he beat ?? Outside of James Toney and a very young Bernard Hopkins, what hall of fame fighters did Jones beat ???
bhop too old to fight at this level...the 2 year lay off added to it...the punishment these guys give their bodies...u can only last 10-15 years at the top...bhop lasted what nearly 30? amazing...
RJJ is the last person that needs to be talking about anything. At least Bernard hasn't been put to sleep like he has. What he is saying is right tho but he should definitely take his own advice as well. Hangem up RJJ, u have tarnished ur legacy in boxing by continuing a career that should've ended long ago.
Roy has a win over B-hop, so i think he's the most qualified to speak on it. You on the other hand..idk. Nothing he said was even remotely disrespectful to Bernard, on the other hand Bernard has been mad disrespectful to Roy, do your research.
BLOND GHANDI Hopkins is a legacy in his own right. Defeated Pascal, Roy Jones Jr, Pavlik, Wright, Taver, De La Hoya, Trinidad, Joppy, etc. As an old man, stayed in the ring with. powerful Kovalev, Calzaghe, Dawson. Roy has kissed the canvas one too many times. If u dont like BHop, then cool but don't act like Roy shouldn't have been hung em up. I'm just stating facts. There goes my logic...
Yo Bernard is my man he's one of my top 5-6 favorite fighters. After he left Bouie and didn't want to pay him I overlooked it. He left Naziim never told him he wasn't invited to camp Naziim didn't even know Bernard was fighting. I lost alotta respect for him not staying true to his circle.Therefore I hoped he lost because he's an opportunist and he recklessly discarded his foundation. Yo tell me how your trainer for the last 12-13 years doesn't know you're fighting or doesn't know he's fired doesn't get invited? Yo it's unprofessional and unethical. He talks all that Philly sh*t but no Philly guys in his corner no more fighting in AC he's a Hollywood dude now he's thru with his beloved Philly...
In my feelings,you dudes use that phrase a lil too much. Yo man I just told you why I said why I said. Now if I was like a lotta white cats that don't like him because he said before the Calzaghe fight 7 years ago "I'll never lose to a white boy" that would be in my feelings. I sympathize with Bouie (rip) and Naziim who rode with this guy for about 20 years. Then had him snatch the rug from under their feet when they thought you were a big part of his team. How would you feel(if you can imagine yourself in this position)if your job you had been on for 15 years moved and you found out by seeing it on the news? Nobody called you or anything and they never call you. You find out you were not employed by them via TV or by hearsay? If that company was to go bankrupt or hit a string of misfortune would you not feel that to be a sense of karma? Or would you sympathize with the job that sh*tted on you? Well, you prob can tell I would not sympathize with them and me not being a part of it or not have anything to do with the situation would not change a thing. Hence me hoping he would lose this meaningless fight and maybe ponder on being loyal and humble. As we see humility is out of the question. I rode with Bernard since he was fighting on BET that's way back in 91-92. My dude but right is right and wrong is wrong...
I agree he straight up disrespected Nazim Richardson, I knew something was off right there, I'm a huge Bernard Hopkins fan, but he had it coming, why get trained by the trainer who trained Kovalev and just whooped your ass.
Hop was winning. I'm thoroughly convinced you people don't watch or don't kno how to watch boxing SMH. Other than that he need to give it up like Nazim said he has nothing left to do but get ko
Trump Don - I'm going to make this VERY clear, there is no bigger & loyal fan of b-hop than me, now that being said, Hopkins absolutely was NOT winning this fight. he won 2 of the rounds only. He looked decent with his head movement but his legs were gone. Be honest about the assessment of this fight. Bernard Hopkins got KO'd for the first time in his great career. He literally got knocked out of the ring, Not shoved. Hopkins was in shock, literally in shock when hit the floor. He was in pain. He is about 25 days short of his 52nd birthday. Enough Bernard. His body can't take that kind of abuse. Again there's no bigger b-hop fan than me but I'm glad for this loss and this kind of loss for many reasons but especially for his disloyalty and disrespect for Naazim Richardson. He needed to be taught humility last night, no more Ego! And hopefully he learned. in fact, it taught me humility. b-hop will still be one of my favorite boxer's of all time. But enough b-hop.
BreuckelensFinest b hop was slipping his punches and pot shotting Smith. Later rounds hop would have taken over an arm tired Smith. Judges had a draw at that time. Boxing is an art its very subtle everybody don't see. Alot of announcers say they have to re-watch fights. Now that being said he was inactive and u can see his age catching up. He got caught leaning and Smith landed clean shots that propelled him out of the ring in a fluke accident. He was not knocked out. But the fight in him was. He outclasses Smith 9 out of ten fights. And if u are bhops fan u know he is a notorious slow starter
BreuckelensFinest Bhop was winning the fight. I know, I was there, sober and close enough to see the fight clearly, plus I am a student of the game and happens to box myself. Some this is not some casual RUclips comment. He just got caught plain and simple. Many people at ringside thought he slipped all of those punches and was shoved out if frustration, not the case. I agree that he does need to retire as I agree that Roy needs to. Bhop was playing possum and running Smith into the right hand every round. Smith was looking for the right hand the whole fight and chasing, mostly missing shots
Don't know what you are talking about or understand, but watch the fight and see for yourself. If you saw it, watch it again and don't get caught up in the moment. When Smith had him caught on the ropes, for the most part, Bhop slipped his punches and made him miss, and he was landing his shots clean and more telling then smith landed his. Hopkins' movement was frustrating him. Smith' best work was when he was facing an idle target right in front of him. Was the tactic Bernard was using a dangerous one? Yes, but he was fairly successful up until he got caught. He was off balance when he slipped the first shot, and in between the ropes. The last two were going to land because he had nowhere to go and was unable to move in that position. Like I told my friend at the fight, Bhop has been out of the ring for like 2 years, last fight was Kovalev, which he lost. Father time what's for no one. Every dog has his day
truly a legend. an all time great. I even think a prime middleweight Hopkins could win one out of three vs Ray Robinson. Robinson wins 2 but I think Hopkins had the size, awkwardness, savy, and chin to steal one in a three fight series...and that's saying a hell of a lot. I wish Hopkins would retire actually wish he and Roy would stop. Not for their legacies because what they did during their careers is undeniable, and can't be taken away. but for their health and the fact as long time fans of both, it's hard to stomach seeing guys KO Roy and Bernard brutally and decisively that I KNOW could not have even competed with them yrs ago. A salute to your career Bernard, a real class act and legendary champion..
+James Davis ..once again I respect all viewpoints I'm just giving an opinion. Ray Robinson was P4P greatest ever. Hands down. I'm well aware of his record, accomplishments and dominance. And I think Robinson wins 2 of 3. Bit Randy Turpin was big, awkward, tough and determined...and he snuck one away from Robinson. I think with Hopkins chin, defense, knowledge, sheer size and ability to roughhouse and adjust his fight plan to fit the opponent, I think he could surprise Sugar Ray and eek out a close decision. although I do think Ray would have his number in the rematch as well as the rubber match. I sincerely believed in his prime and his prime hit late mind you, that Bernard Hopkins was good enough to get a win over anybody in middleweight history. Just my opinion
he could have KOd him in the first round if he wanted but he didn't out of respect. I suspect he took a year off to do some growth hormone. notice how much he changed from the marquez to canelo fight. hes been taking a lotta shit in between fights.
I don't consider Jones v. Hopkins 2 to be definitive in their match up. Jones has it right at the end where he says Hopkins + crew wouldn't fight him. Hopkins ducked him for a good 7 years and when 2 finally came around Jones just didn't have it to prove against him anymore that he could do him twice.

Roy Jones Jr is correct. Stay in shape so you don't have to "get" in shape.
V4AR how many rings should he have won playing with rookie rip, stackhouse, quame brown. I think Vlad will lose but he had 2 training camps waiting on Fury.
It does not dramatically affect Everybody but it can affect you. And I guess we have to see is klitchsko Michael Jordan than. Because Jordan sure Damn wasn't klitchsko age
I'd love to be a fly on the wall, in a private room and Roy talk about this fight. I bet he clowning bhop, hard as hell. even in the build up to this fight, bhop, took a lil sneak diss shot at roy
First thing i noticed when the fight started the very first second was Bhops legs. Just like Roy said I knew it was over that second and Bhop was going out on his shield. Respect to Bhop going out like a champ and respect to Joe Smith Jr for putting out like a champ should. No questions no more what ifs. Smith did it right imo and the problem was with the ring having such a far fall for fighters. Wtf are they thinking? And that camera man should've caught him. What an ass. The people in charge of the ring and what goes on around it are to blame here nobody else.
Roy was pretty spot on in regards to Bhop being off for over two years. A two year lay off can hurt a young fighter never mind one who is 51 years old. But at least Bernard is sticking to his plan of retiring while Roy continues to fight on.
Do you know the only thing thats gets my goat with Bernard was when he was saying to Calzaghe "i will never lose to a white boy". Well a white boy has just properly finished you and he has to live with that now, just like with Calzaghe. I really hope he is not racist because i fucking hate racism.
Benard should have retired long ago, after he proved critics wrong...Plus he really likes talking more nowadays...they never let go...Ray Leonard....Roy Jones...
look up the video "BERNARD HOPKINS SAYS ROY JONES JR. ONE-DIMENSIONAL AND NO COMPARISON TO HIM; EXPLAINS WHY" Hopkins talks mad shit about roy getting knocked out
I like Bernard. But come on, HBO turned this into a clown fest. History has proven, and in a big way, what age does to an athlete. This was going to happen one way or another if Hopkins kept fighting. Roy knows from firsthand experience. The same thing happened to him. An when you consider who Hopkin's fought, well, what else did you expect. Knocked right the fuck out of the ring. Bernard couldn't come to grips with what happened. His ego would only allow a response like he was pushed. LOL.
I saw Bernard live in Montreal against Jean Pascal and beat him, with the classic 7th round where he started doing push ups lol, the entire crowd wanted to kill Bernard,...that, right there, is the time when he should've retired.
Rick Jannings you HAVE TO KNOW that was promotion right? Hype just for the fight. Muhammad Ali said way worse stuff to Joe Frazier, another black man. Have you heard the despicable shit Bernard said about Donovan McNabb, another black man? Yet you've lost respect because of that? You can't be much of a boxing fan or your a young boxing fan to make that statement.
roy u say all that then why still put the young guy in the ring with bhop if you alredy knew the excuses a head of time, why take that risk for bhop, if you and bhop knew all that why take that risk . oh i know why because lets just say if bhop did win then yall would glorify bhop even more for beating a young gu, and would make the guy look even worst by mentioning the fact that bhop had a twenty five month layoff and still beat joe smith lets just say'' just cuz you a legend in boxing doesnt mean you should of excuses for failures and you should be credited right when your wrong. bhop got knocked the fuk out. period dont be a soreloser get it sore by that fuking knockout .
two judges had hopkins winning, this shit was RIGGED. Thats what makes the KO even sweeter. Fuck HBO and their bias ass commentary you could tell they were mad lmaooo
Bernard was stupid fighting Joe. He should have done the same thing Floyd did. Fight a less dangerous fighter for your farewell fight. Instead he chose a young fighter (knowing you don't have the punching power to keep him off you) and a hungry construction worker at such. Trying to prove what? You've already proven yourself over the years. Now, you had to disgrace yourself to say goodbye. I wish you all the best BHOP and still have a great deal of respect for you. You did what most only dream of. Good luck CHAMP, rest your mind and ENJOY your hard earned money.
Thug4u3 Who was Floyd's last opponent? Think before speaking par'ner. If you know anything about boxing. You'll know that majority of the great fighters, who rode off gracefully into the sunset. Did exactly what Floyd did by choosing Berto, and Hopkins should have done the same. So, I don't see why I should be hating on Floyd. He (Floyd) didn't steal my money, we don't run in the same circle. You claim to be a "thug4u3" and your ass is as sensitive as Michael Jackson. I can understand your attack, if I had said something about you or your family, I didn't do that. Why get all bent out of shape cos I mentioned Floyd's name, proving a valid point?
Damian 666 lol your not proven anything..Floyd picked berto cause he has nothing else to prove it's haters like u that wants him to fight ggg just to see him lose so bad..he beat 24 world champs..10 hall of famers..he don't have nothing to prove to u haters..mention berto all u want who is still a decent fighter..and thug4u3 is just a user name my friend..have a bachelor degree and a career job..never judge a book by its cover have a nice day bro
Been reading the comments, why is everyone making it about race? Is it just me or is race nothing to do with anything ? its only when silly people try n make it so
That shit was funny as fuck! Hopkins said he was pushed out of the ring. What pushedhim out was those shots to his mug!!
He was.
With a left uppercut and a right . lol
Wee-Yum Stuart
And he was knocked out by the table and the floor.
Hop is probably selling his next fight already.
He'll probably fly to Russia or Ukraine and be a punching bag for a local hero.
He, Roy and Shane should have a traveling boxing circus.
They should call it the Ringding Brothers.
Why wrestle with a declawed bear when you can knock out 3 hall of famers for a few more dollars ?
He knocked off the Ring and it was a long hard fall,of course he probably thought he got pushed but he wasn't in his right mind set he probably had a concussion.The video clearly shows he didn't get pushed out,it doesn't matter what Hopkins think
Roy over bhop in prime any day I promise
i was one of those who felt bhop beats him mainly because he did not fear him one bit. i tabbed tarver as a trouble opponent as well for the same reason
tarver fought him at the right time. nothing more. prime roy murders them all.

He certainly has

Unless you're smart enough to know you can't beat a guy.fighters do that for money usually.ali in 1980 is laughable that they sanctioned that fight.
Yo when B Hop fell he looked like he landed right into a casket I neva seen a knock out like that lol smh
TheJerzyslugga 😭😭😭
😅
Very funny hearing him try to talk upside down. Never seen that before😁
When i think of all my favourite fighters they all went out the same way. Its really saddening.

ya i was hurt by that also bra

My question is why are either of these two doing still fighting anyway?????
*Ali* way past his prime fighting *Larry Holmes* is another prime example.
Don Fettochini I never knew that, thanks.
Don Fettochini see I don't get that before ali fought liston he was winning fights before ali tbh liston was knocking people out
Don Fettochini 21 actually but still liston was knocking guys out
Don Fettochini sonny was in his prime a champ who was knocking guys out and plus ali when he was past his prime was fighting younger guys and still beating them problem
Don Fettochini fuck you on about ali fought foreman who was a killer and frazier plus ernie shavers you seem bitter that you can't see the facts bro

They were easy for him in his prime tbf
when he hit that floor I didn't think he was getting back up i thought he broke one of his old ass bones..smh
Was it just me or does B Hop looked like he had lost a lot of muscle?
Roy is 100% spot on tho.
Yes--it looks like he did not lift seriously for this fight for whatever reason. Or perhaps aging changed his body comp fairly rapidly. Or maybe both.
Yeah well with that amount of muscle mass his punch resistance decreased as well.
Smith being a heavy puncher eas a bad choice for him to take on after a 2 year lay off and at 52.

Roy Jones in his prime, could be anybody in their Prime. Most talented boxer to ever live...MAGA
I didn't think Smith could beat up and KO BHop, but it was good to watch. "I'll never let a white boy beat me". Lol.

Because Roy beat Hopkins in 1993 before his legacy was tarnished, he got his ass kicked by Hopkins in the rematch
BLOND GHANDI Hopkins is a legacy in his own right. Defeated Pascal, Roy Jones Jr, Pavlik, Wright, Taver, De La Hoya, Trinidad, Joppy, etc. As an old man, stayed in the ring with. powerful Kovalev, Calzaghe, Dawson.

Two true Capricorns...we hate to lose and love to compete! 💯♑
Hop fell same victim the same way Roy Jones got served by Antonio Tarver
Roy look like he cryed

Jamie ASHCROFT why don't you chill shit brain
Jamie ASHCROFT he's asian there mad for everything lol
lol your anger amuses me, talk to me darling why u so mad????
Floyd is the only fighter that didn't go out this way. Stay retired.
I much rather see a retired unbeaten record than to see great fighters fight at 45-50+ Years old and get rocked. Sad.
King 27 floyd is the only 'boxer' not 'fighter'
+King 27 What about Rocky Marciano? Lennox Lewis?
+Constantin Milvius and Calzaghe
Marvin Hagler is the best example of retiring at the right time... fought everyone and got out of the game unharmed.
Roy, TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE BRUH!
They both need hang it up... But that's easier said than done especially if you have done one thing your whole life!
Hop was winning. I'm thoroughly convinced you people don't watch or don't kno how to watch boxing SMH. Other than that he need to give it up like Nazim said he has nothing left to do but get ko
Trump Don - I'm going to make this VERY clear, there is no bigger & loyal fan of b-hop than me, now that being said, Hopkins absolutely was NOT winning this fight. he won 2 of the rounds only. He looked decent with his head movement but his legs were gone. Be honest about the assessment of this fight.
Bernard Hopkins got KO'd for the first time in his great career. He literally got knocked out of the ring, Not shoved. Hopkins was in shock, literally in shock when hit the floor. He was in pain. He is about 25 days short of his 52nd birthday. Enough Bernard.
His body can't take that kind of abuse. Again there's no bigger b-hop fan than me but I'm glad for this loss and this kind of loss for many reasons but especially for his disloyalty and disrespect for Naazim Richardson. He needed to be taught humility last night, no more Ego! And hopefully he learned.
in fact, it taught me humility. b-hop will still be one of my favorite boxer's of all time. But enough b-hop.
BreuckelensFinest b hop was slipping his punches and pot shotting Smith. Later rounds hop would have taken over an arm tired Smith. Judges had a draw at that time. Boxing is an art its very subtle everybody don't see. Alot of announcers say they have to re-watch fights. Now that being said he was inactive and u can see his age catching up. He got caught leaning and Smith landed clean shots that propelled him out of the ring in a fluke accident. He was not knocked out. But the fight in him was. He outclasses Smith 9 out of ten fights. And if u are bhops fan u know he is a notorious slow starter
BreuckelensFinest Bhop was winning the fight. I know, I was there, sober and close enough to see the fight clearly, plus I am a student of the game and happens to box myself. Some this is not some casual RUclips comment. He just got caught plain and simple. Many people at ringside thought he slipped all of those punches and was shoved out if frustration, not the case. I agree that he does need to retire as I agree that Roy needs to. Bhop was playing possum and running Smith into the right hand every round. Smith was looking for the right hand the whole fight and chasing, mostly missing shots
Deandre Cary I agree then hop is great but his time is up. Roy time been up a long time ago
Don't know what you are talking about or understand, but watch the fight and see for yourself. If you saw it, watch it again and don't get caught up in the moment. When Smith had him caught on the ropes, for the most part, Bhop slipped his punches and made him miss, and he was landing his shots clean and more telling then smith landed his. Hopkins' movement was frustrating him. Smith' best work was when he was facing an idle target right in front of him. Was the tactic Bernard was using a dangerous one? Yes, but he was fairly successful up until he got caught. He was off balance when he slipped the first shot, and in between the ropes. The last two were going to land because he had nowhere to go and was unable to move in that position. Like I told my friend at the fight, Bhop has been out of the ring for like 2 years, last fight was Kovalev, which he lost. Father time what's for no one. Every dog has his day
Greatest fighter of the 1990s hamda down 🐐
Roy shouldn't comment on knockouts
Michael 'THE MOTIVATOR' Johnson he can say anything he pleases. he's a vet
Michael 'THE MOTIVATOR' Johnson why not hes experienced knockouts u joker
truly a legend. an all time great. I even think a prime middleweight Hopkins could win one out of three vs Ray Robinson. Robinson wins 2 but I think Hopkins had the size, awkwardness, savy, and chin to steal one in a three fight series...and that's saying a hell of a lot. I wish Hopkins would retire actually wish he and Roy would stop. Not for their legacies because what they did during their careers is undeniable, and can't be taken away. but for their health and the fact as long time fans of both, it's hard to stomach seeing guys KO Roy and Bernard brutally and decisively that I KNOW could not have even competed with them yrs ago. A salute to your career Bernard, a real class act and legendary champion..
Sugar Ray Robinson killed a man and fought 3 to 4 fights a week he would of destroyed BHop
+James Davis ..once again I respect all viewpoints I'm just giving an opinion. Ray Robinson was P4P greatest ever. Hands down. I'm well aware of his record, accomplishments and dominance. And I think Robinson wins 2 of 3. Bit Randy Turpin was big, awkward, tough and determined...and he snuck one away from Robinson. I think with Hopkins chin, defense, knowledge, sheer size and ability to roughhouse and adjust his fight plan to fit the opponent, I think he could surprise Sugar Ray and eek out a close decision. although I do think Ray would have his number in the rematch as well as the rubber match. I sincerely believed in his prime and his prime hit late mind you, that Bernard Hopkins was good enough to get a win over anybody in middleweight history. Just my opinion
Roy Jones Jr is a class act. B Hop is an egomaniac.
I remember 60/40. RJJ was my guy but hated to see both end like it did.
We're born to eat lambs, we're leo.
Roy Jones said it best, they are born fighters so you must take them out
Mayweather was on his sofa for 2 years and came back and wiped his ass with Marquez.
Bernardo Brito mayweather wasn't 50 either.
he could have KOd him in the first round if he wanted but he didn't out of respect. I suspect he took a year off to do some growth hormone. notice how much he changed from the marquez to canelo fight. hes been taking a lotta shit in between fights.
Bernardo Brito mayweather is young compared to hopkins joker
HugoFloss
Name the guys who took a two year layoff - at any age - who came back and took on top comp and dominated.
We'll wait.
Bernardo Brito sugar ray leonard took 3 years off and beat hagler mate. Get ur head outta mayweathers arse 😂 lol
I was still doing my thing you feel me. lol #RoyJonesJr
I don't consider Jones v. Hopkins 2 to be definitive in their match up. Jones has it right at the end where he says Hopkins + crew wouldn't fight him. Hopkins ducked him for a good 7 years and when 2 finally came around Jones just didn't have it to prove against him anymore that he could do him twice.
Roy Jones Jr is correct. Stay in shape so you don't have to "get" in shape.
So you say KLITSCHKO is gonna lose to Joshua because of a 13 month lay off
V4AR a possibility lay offs are bad with anything you do
V4AR At least Vlad had 2 training camps
+Level2 Boxing guys google michael Jordan come back and how many rings he won after that
V4AR how many rings should he have won playing with rookie rip, stackhouse, quame brown. I think Vlad will lose but he had 2 training camps waiting on Fury.
It does not dramatically affect Everybody but it can affect you. And I guess we have to see is klitchsko Michael Jordan than. Because Jordan sure Damn wasn't klitchsko age
No one beats father time. Bhop had no legs and no real punch. The lay off was too long and now he just needs to be happy commentating. Pauly is next.
i respect roy!!!
Guess Apollo Creed's mentality was spot on
He shoulda discussed his ass whoopins he got b4 he retired!!
Sad to see and hear. Roy took punishment late on in his career - Tarver, Calzaghe, macarinelli etc - and it's obviously caught up with him:-(
Capricorns dont want to fuck with Cancers tho stay in you're fucking lane Cappys...😂
But we Aries lead the way for you or follow we are always fighting and win s n losses do not matter we just enjoy the engagement true Rams of war
I'd love to be a fly on the wall, in a private room and Roy talk about this fight. I bet he clowning bhop, hard as hell. even in the build up to this fight, bhop, took a lil sneak diss shot at roy
roy jones is rhyming
First thing i noticed when the fight started the very first second was Bhops legs. Just like Roy said I knew it was over that second and Bhop was going out on his shield. Respect to Bhop going out like a champ and respect to Joe Smith Jr for putting out like a champ should. No questions no more what ifs. Smith did it right imo and the problem was with the ring having such a far fall for fighters. Wtf are they thinking? And that camera man should've caught him. What an ass. The people in charge of the ring and what goes on around it are to blame here nobody else.
someone could have caught him but they just watched him fall on his head lol
Nick Gojc maybe they'll make a foam cushion around the ring called the bhop over the rope on your head safety cushion.
Jeff Petree call it the Hopkins cushion
smh I said the same shit as roy jones did at 51 25 months off.....I knew a KO was on its way
Roy was pretty spot on in regards to Bhop being off for over two years. A two year lay off can hurt a young fighter never mind one who is 51 years old. But at least Bernard is sticking to his plan of retiring while Roy continues to fight on.
that decline!
Do you know the only thing thats gets my goat with Bernard was when he was saying to Calzaghe "i will never lose to a white boy". Well a white boy has just properly finished you and he has to live with that now, just like with Calzaghe. I really hope he is not racist because i fucking hate racism.
Roy knows first hand about getting knocked out from his last few fights
Sure but no one could touch him when he was in his prime. He was Sugar Ray Robinson status and it don't get any better than that historically.
Johnny Patrick I agree in his prime he was unstoppable but he will end up like Ali and Frazier if he keeps taking head blows
He did it "his way"
Benard should have retired long ago, after he proved critics wrong...Plus he really likes talking more nowadays...they never let go...Ray Leonard....Roy Jones...
i love BHop he is a legend this humbled him to know we are all just human
Hopkins could still beat most of these light heavyweights. Again why people keep mis using the word "knockout". Pacquiao got ko not Hopkins
he sounds like little man movie
younger-fight" is/was faster/stronger then" hopkins... but good" IT is/was hopkins" last fight".
old school is the best school. New stuffs typically , usually crap. OR rare
it's a new heavyweight Greg badnewz Corbin who is coming onto the scene. keep your eyes open
Roy need to sit down too.
look up the video "BERNARD HOPKINS SAYS ROY JONES JR. ONE-DIMENSIONAL AND NO COMPARISON TO HIM; EXPLAINS WHY" Hopkins talks mad shit about roy getting knocked out
I like Bernard. But come on, HBO turned this into a clown fest. History has proven, and in a big way, what age does to an athlete. This was going to happen one way or another if Hopkins kept fighting. Roy knows from firsthand experience. The same thing happened to him. An when you consider who Hopkin's fought, well, what else did you expect. Knocked right the fuck out of the ring. Bernard couldn't come to grips with what happened. His ego would only allow a response like he was pushed. LOL.
Take away the ropes. Bernard gets knocked to the ground. Smith then proceeds to fuck him up.
Roy is one to talk about being done. He should have retired 15 years ago
dance roy , dance
I saw Bernard live in Montreal against Jean Pascal and beat him, with the classic 7th round where he started doing push ups lol, the entire crowd wanted to kill Bernard,...that, right there, is the time when he should've retired.
Roy jones went out like that too. Lol
that's why he knows it best as one of the best! Insightful, I said insightful
he lost me at that horoscope "we are capricorns" horseshit. Thats corny as all fuck. Roy is still the man as far as boxing legends go.
Yeah!!, he hopkins dont know where he was @the time those punches felt like a push to his head. dwll
Bhop was a legend but I lost ALL respect for him when he said that he would never get beat by a white boy.......Bhop is as racist as they come.
Rick Jannings you HAVE TO KNOW that was promotion right? Hype just for the fight. Muhammad Ali said way worse stuff to Joe Frazier, another black man. Have you heard the despicable shit Bernard said about Donovan McNabb, another black man? Yet you've lost respect because of that? You can't be much of a boxing fan or your a young boxing fan to make that statement.
I agree with Roy
roy u say all that then why still put the young guy in the ring with bhop if you alredy knew the excuses a head of time, why take that risk for bhop, if you and bhop knew all that why take that risk . oh i know why because lets just say if bhop did win then yall would glorify bhop even more for beating a young gu, and would make the guy look even worst by mentioning the fact that bhop had a twenty five month layoff and still beat joe smith lets just say'' just cuz you a legend in boxing doesnt mean you should of excuses for failures and you should be credited right when your wrong. bhop got knocked the fuk out. period dont be a soreloser get it sore by that fuking knockout .
49 - 0 #TBE THE BEST EVER
TBE = The Bitch Exaggerates
Hopkins needed the money. So does RJJ. No other reason risking your health.
two judges had hopkins winning, this shit was RIGGED. Thats what makes the KO even sweeter. Fuck HBO and their bias ass commentary you could tell they were mad lmaooo
Roy nailed it. BHOP must retire. Age man
Bernard was stupid fighting Joe. He should have done the same thing Floyd did. Fight a less dangerous fighter for your farewell fight. Instead he chose a young fighter (knowing you don't have the punching power to keep him off you) and a hungry construction worker at such. Trying to prove what? You've already proven yourself over the years. Now, you had to disgrace yourself to say goodbye. I wish you all the best BHOP and still have a great deal of respect for you. You did what most only dream of. Good luck CHAMP, rest your mind and ENJOY your hard earned money.
Damian 666 your n idiot mentioning Floyd..he fought canelo who was dangerous stop hating
Thug4u3 Dumb ass, is Floyd your boyfriend? Why been sensitive?.......Oooooh, Floyd already touched your sensitive part.
Damian 666 lmao! U just tryna say that to cover up on u just being a hater..stop it
Thug4u3 Who was Floyd's last opponent? Think before speaking par'ner. If you know anything about boxing. You'll know that majority of the great fighters, who rode off gracefully into the sunset. Did exactly what Floyd did by choosing Berto, and Hopkins should have done the same. So, I don't see why I should be hating on Floyd. He (Floyd) didn't steal my money, we don't run in the same circle. You claim to be a "thug4u3" and your ass is as sensitive as Michael Jackson. I can understand your attack, if I had said something about you or your family, I didn't do that. Why get all bent out of shape cos I mentioned Floyd's name, proving a valid point?
Damian 666 lol your not proven anything..Floyd picked berto cause he has nothing else to prove it's haters like u that wants him to fight ggg just to see him lose so bad..he beat 24 world champs..10 hall of famers..he don't have nothing to prove to u haters..mention berto all u want who is still a decent fighter..and thug4u3 is just a user name my friend..have a bachelor degree and a career job..never judge a book by its cover have a nice day bro
Roy joys was keeping it a 1000 smh
Been reading the comments, why is everyone making it about race? Is it just me or is race nothing to do with anything ? its only when silly people try n make it so
