Hopkins was more respectful to Merlino than I've ever seen him with anyone. Great to see.
Street Guys always respect each other, You must not be from the places we are huh🤷🏿♂️
@elhubster14 Hopkins interacted with these dudes from that underworld already and has respect in the boxing world. Its a laid back interview style thats fits the vibe
That’s complete rubbish he’s the same on Joe Rogan … he’s not a thug he’s a living legend , Merlino is wise guy but even he knows Hopkins is the only real tough guy in that room lol
Real recognise real
Watch Hopkins last fight. Ain't no white man gonna beat me. He got knocked right out of the ring.
How is Bhop so mentally aware and clear speech for his age and amount of fights he has been in? Shout out to Bhop!
Can't believe I'm watching B-Hop and Joey Merlino together on a podcast. What a time to be alive. RUclips really fucked up messing around with Joey and Snuff, the f#ckin Gestapo.
@GeneBorello Never heard of you, and what's an Alite?
@@GeneBorellosTFU. You can’t go back to Howard beach. Your a punk who’s rats to the Feds when things gets touch. Keep beating your girl in Florida. Come back to NY if you got balls.
@@GeneBorellolol pipe down lil man
U joking bro? Use the search button, iM A brutal, vicious guy, feared Bonnano LEGEND. John Alite? He not only won like 5 Brazilian prison knife fights, but he took out everybody!
We cooperated ya, and what? @@wesleymcglone6937
lil man? You know who I was with? I'm a feared brutal guy do your research@@stonedcoldstunna
True Philly legends
He ran a cornerstone gang. I was with real, made, brutal, vicious guys.
I just buried Joey on my brand new channel. They tried to keep me out but Gene boy is back.
@@GeneBorello if y’all know who Lee Cole is who else thinks he sits with a box of tissues and lotion anytime he watches Joeys videos!!?
I know he better watch his mouth speaking my name@@NorthKoreanSimp
Yo. When I was a teenager I would see Bernard catch the subway all the way to the top of Broad & Olney get off the train and start running down broad street all the way down to the Navy yard in south Philly. My man was running it and not jogging it pretty much every day or every other day.
I saw him all the time running south on broad.
Fast forward 30 years he then became my neighbor in center city. In respecting his privacy I can say he lives a pretty sweet life overlooking the city.
He will Always be Philly’s Champ☝🏽
B-Hop is my favorite boxer. Insane discipline. This guy kept fighting and winning all through his 40s. He lived boxing 24/7.
Hopkins is a legend, I like to rewatch his fights on RUclips. The only slightly annoying thing with B Hop is the way every answer he gives to any question, is as long as held held the middleweight championship lol
Yep..remember reading about his regimented life style when he beat Trinidad aged 36. He always went to bed at 8pm..up early doing road work and then to the gym for a few hours! No alcohol, over indulgence in anything that wasn’t good for his body!
Compare that to some like Ricky Hatton..and Jnr Welterweight for most of his career who drank excessively and would ballon to as much as 190-200 pounds between fights..and he was 5”6!!!
Tremendous fighter,I seen him distroy Trinidad in the garden,me and a close friend who is gone,we're going crazy,most the fans showed up for Trinidad, we had to thump our way out,it was a great night, RIP JIMMY ALLEN,Great to see Berhard looking go od and healthy
As a Puerto Rican that shit killed me!!! Trinidad was our guy! Great fight nonetheless
One of the best performances ever
Respect to both , Tito was a blown up Middleweight but took B-Hop on , both great fighters
Joey is what those mob rats can never be he is respected in the city not just by his type of figures but by everyone in different walks of life. Stand up individual, it doesn’t matter what you do just do it morals and codes and stand up for what you believe in.
Ric flair now Hopkins this podcast is the best !!!!
Met B Hop at a sixers game, nicest guy ever
I cant belive that youtube lost this one.
Snuff and Merlino gave chance to youtube.
Great podcast guys. Just great.
Great interview complete legend Hopkins ❤
Dudes a world class warrior! Can judge a man heart unless he goes thru it ! Whatever “it “ may be , always move forward ❤️you guys🙏🏼
One tuff dude...
Wow great guest. Huge fan of Hopkins throughout his career. As real as they get. Always remember that body shot he caught ODLH with.
I bet his hands are still super quick. Great interview, gentlemen.
I have to say and I must admit joey marlino is something else he brings authenticity
Great Fighter loved watching Him
Wow!! Bernard Hopkins. Give us another 5 minutes on RUclips
B-Hop!! Great guest guys.
I wish I could watch the full podcast....
What a great interview with one of the greatest middleweights of all time. Two legends from the bottom to the top. Both are for the people. Merlino breathing easy drinking espresso
Appreciate the upload guys! Cheers
Merlino is the man
10 years in prison then Undisputed middle champ of the world …. They don’t come tougher than B Hop … he was winning titles in his 40s
100%
He served less than five. Great champion.
Great Show today Joey and Lil Snuff 👍👍👍
He’s not lying. Some of those houses on Lincoln Drive and Chestnut Hill are beautiful. Allen’s Lane , beautiful. Joe Frazier lived up there in Lafayette Hill right past Chestnut Hill . Listening to this guy talk is incredible. He said his body was in the pen for five years but his mind was way outside the walls .
What a boxer 🥊👌#wepushback🏴🇺🇸⚔️
Thanks for this interview
Excellent guest. World Class Hall of Fame Warrior.
Never thought you'd have Hopkins on here
No doubt? If you’re real, real connects with real! I am subscriber because Mr Merlino is OFFICIAL
My dad boxed w Hopkins in Gratersford prison in the 70s 💪🏼
Game recognizes game !
Another great interview!
God bless you bernard hopkins simply you re a LIVING LEGEND
My favorite is when Bernard Hopkins said Donovan McNabb gives off a “Chestnut Hill Vibe” when he was interviewed on ESPN or somewhere back in the day. Lol . Perfect description.
Classic Philly…I love it.
Damn definitely want to check this out
Fantastic video Joey and Snuff and Bernard
Respect gentleman! B-Hop one of the best to do it. I remember when they sent my cousin Mario "Blue" Fernandez to Glen Mills in 95
@TheSkinnywithJoeyMerlino THE CHAMP IS HERE 🥊. GET IT IN 💯🔥 #wepushback #SkinnysSquad...
The boxing legends say the toughest fighters come out of Philadelphia.
B HOP !!! A master at sneakin shots when the ref wasn’t looking lol brilliant boxer!
Great show, sorry I cannot afford the fee for Patreon!
Keep up the good work
That’s how I got involved with boxing at Johan gym on Howard and Thompson. I don’t know if it’s still there but it was like a bigger brother program or something and they taught me a lot.
Love all these wishing you guys much success
👏👏👏very good content I can honestly say ...thanks
The X man, Bernard Hopkins the smartest man in boxing history and one of the most under rated fighters of all time, B hop is his own man and my favorite fighter and I am a long time fight fan, he should have Mayweather money but the thieves made sure that they got in his way, but he done alright and he did it his way.
Great show!! Love it. Are you guys on RUclips or not?
He used to come in Our families Restaurants in Philly. St Georges. Their was a few of them
Hopkins needs his own show! I always thought he deserves his own sports radio show, let alone RUclips show.
ask b-hop what his nickname was when he was locked up in the jail years ago …… great boxer ….. vile vile human being
What was it then
Wow a Pennsylvania hero. This dude is stand up. Mucho respect I didn’t know you came from the projects. Yes I am getting patreon and thank you for this tibid. Pa stand up
Respect ✊🏻
Well done boyz
I seen him at Delaware park a long time ago like before they had slots they put on a show in front of the grandstand
Great boxer Mr.Hopkins is
Have Joey talk about his hair routine. Always on point and can’t find a barber that can do it.
I love Hopkins but that was tuff to sit thru and listen to but another then that I pay Thousands over the years watching every one of his flights he was my favorite never went against him even when he was the underdog
God bless you all
Bernard Hopkins is one bad a$$ dude. And possibly it might be his mental discipline and mental fortitude over and beyond his physicality as a boxer that makes him one bad a$$ dude. If I gained I gained 1/10th of steel of his mental character I might be 1/2 a better man than I am now.
Yo ski he got big hommie on the podcast yea B-Hop looking good unc stay up this thing of ours.
Legends 🤙🔥🥊
A few years back I'm from Delaware and so is Bernard Hopkins he lives in Delaware now and I was in the barbershop and he walked in the same barber shop and got a haircut and then we walked out together and we must have sat there and talked for about an hour me and Bernard Hopkins he was a really cool dude we talked for a while and Bernard Hopkins loves some Bernard Hopkins let me just tell you but he was a really solid dude and talk to me for about an hour in the parking lot man really cool dude and a buddy of mine does all his stereo stuff for his cars Bernard Hopkins is a legend!
Damn Joey your over there blinking like a hundred miles an hour looking at B Hop 😂 I gotta head over to Patreon and watch the whole thing God Bless fellas #WePushBack

Picks for the weekend
Tough guy Bhop is beast and Golden boy
Same way I felt when I moved to Mayfair it was totally different from when we lived on Hancock and dolphin, and then we lived on Penn Street in Frankfurt right near the Frankfurt Hospital, and then we moved to Mayfair and I felt the same way like damn, I made it😂💯
Remind me of Chester, Pennsylvania and Marcus Hook same area two totally different worlds
From all the shitty lockdowns upstate to be successful and humbly wiser.🙏
Nice job boys 👍215
Wow
I was Bernard when fight night came out on ps2. I think it was the 2nd or 3rd one. WHOOPING EVERYONE WITH A PURO PIM PIM POW 💥
I wanna hear stories about SCARFO THE LEGEND 😤
Remember Bhop was the same guy that said “ I’m not going to let a white boy beat me” .😂😂 And got knocked out of the ring 😂Lol
Next thing you know you were in CFCF somewhere on State Road pick start off in the round house on Ethan Vine. Yup. Been there done that.
Cornwell's Heights. Wally's World 🌍 Security C Young Bull. I was there We don't forget. Gladiator School built different. .......Real talk.

I always remember Bernard saying alot of racist things in his last year of boxing; Lost alot of respect for him and I find him unwatchable; but still love you guys and your channel and still a strong Patreon member
Joey took a pic with the biggest racist on the planet currently D. Trump!! A person who started some crap on 1/6 in DC where people actually lost their lives. But, that doesn't take away from how we rock out with Joey!! Philly holds each other down --from the old school era--not the new generation that's why they are so f'up!! But we have to learn how to agree to disagree without disrespect!! Great podcast that is actually funny as hell.
@@tizosh7 Man shutt yo a$$ up talking respect with !!!; Keyboard warrior...kick rocks
@@tizosh7 Trump racist even tho he pardoned a ton of black scumbags in his final year of presidency lol ok. Midwit.
@@tizosh7👏
Kavaya? Joey gets love in Lansing.
Yeah, that is some bullshit. I’m glad that I never did no time in Philly. I did juvenile time in Jamesburg in New Jersey and then went to regular prison actually use corrections. They call it Bordentown Yardville, and then eventually went to South Woods railway.
