- Bernard Hopkins Beyond The Glory Pt. 1
Bernard talks about growing up on the streets of North Philadelphia and how the time he spent in prison help shape him into the fighter and man he is today! Nasim says it perfectly, Hopkins has attained the RESPECT of men who don't give RESPECT to many men! And as we say in the HOOD! "THATZ GANGSTA!" ENJOY!

20 straight middleweight championship defenses over 10 years. That says it all. He's the most underrated fighter over the last 25 years.
YogiBear13 GGG is at 19 already
@@la_gallada_ruiz9818 You obviously don't know Hopkins story fully. GGG hasn't fought nearly the caliber of fighters that Hopkins has. GGG didn't go to Honduras to pull out a draw while being knocked down twice in the fight while a bunch of soldiers trying to intimidate him with AK-47 assault rifles before the fight. Hopkins wasn't put through the amateur Olympic system like GGG & had the machine behind him to get to the top with easy bouts. He did that shit on his own. GGG shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as Hopkins. All he is is a puncher with decent skill with the whole world behind him that likes knockouts & not boxing.
Hopkins had hardly anyone with him & he beat way better fighters than GGG ever did. GGG would have gotten embarrassed by Roy Jones Jr, Hopkins & James Toney had he came up when they did. Don't you ever mention this arguement again.
In fact HBO fell apart backing the likes of GGG & the Klitschko brothers and many other European Fighters that board American fans to tears. They were good but weren't great, not even close to the great Bernard Hopkins.
B-hop is the truth. This is a man who went to a maximum security prison at 17!!! He came up the hard way and the man gets better with age. He has turned his life around and is a legend in the sport. He is a good role model for kids growing up hard.
They should make a movie about Bernard Hopinks
Ill love that!!!!!!!I spared with him so amazing
Yes, they absolutely should.
Yea
i first started paying attention to boxing after playing a boxing video game, and hopkins has been my favorite since the start
Yeah word up! I had EA Sports Fight Night Round 3 on Xbox 360, that's how I found out about B-Hop and Roy Jones Jr
Bernard Hopkins is in the top 5 of my favorite boxers.
#RESPECT
#LEGENDARY
#BERNARDHOPKINS
#THEEXECUTIONER
#THEALIEN
I NEVER heard the ghetto experience and how things happen, so accurately. Hands up to him for not only making it out, but for going back and helping. The streets he grew up in are really tough, I've been in them.
I respect Bhop he was on the road to nowhere. When you're pressured by you're peers everyday. You find a way. And no real top amateur career. Goes to prison and master's boxing. Bernard Hopkins is inspirational story. Very uplifting. The Lord works in mysterious ways. God bless the rest of his life. Thank you Jesus
Honestly, if you came from the slums and overcame all that to become a legend, you would have the right to brag. This man went to a maximum security at 17 for robbing drug dealers. He became a world boxing champ and is considered a legend. Honestly, I think he will be ranked ahead of roy now. I grew up a huge roy fan, But bernard has a better resume IMO.
I was really sad this morning. The world's poverty, racism, deceitful politicians felt just like the world was on my shoulders. Tons of business projects but even more bills, etc, etc, etc. But this really motivated me. Thanks poster and Bernard, and your mother. This was that one additional motivation I needed t keep moving on and fighting for truth, justice and freedom for us all. J C
Benard is a straight street general
A movie sounds so good!!
Call it "B-Hop". It'll be so dope.
Thank you kindly for putting the boxing documentaries on here. They are so interesting to watch. They provide a good insight into the fighters involves and their backgrounds. You are a star! Thanks again.
Every time I watch hopkins fight, I always ask myself the same questions
When will he look old in ring?
, I been asking myself this question, since the trinidad fight, this guy is just amazing
wow this guy is the realest
LEGEND!!
He beat some of the best fighters in the world with around 20 title defenses. And you're telling me he isnt great?
No,Bernard Hopkins made Bernard Hopkins a legend ;d
Excellent upload this is. Many thanks to uploader. Loved hopkins, His 2nd fight against Roy Jones was a classic.
Without a doubt a top 10 fighter ALL TIME...his resume is out of this world..
*20 title defenses against 17 different fighters (both are records for the middleweight division)
*became the first male boxer in HISTORY to simultaneously hold world titles by all 4 main sanctioning bodies (WBA, WBO, IBF, and RING MAGAZINE)
*Fighter of the Year (2001)
*after losing his middleweight title, and then failing to regain it again both against Jermaine Taylor, he moved up to Light Heavyweight to defeat Antonio Tarver at 42 years old to win the IBO and RING magazine titles
*in 2008, he regained his LHW titles against Jean Pascal, making him the oldest boxer in history to win a world championship (beating George Foremans age record)
*he then beat his own age record in 2013, and then AGAIN in 2014
All of this was after he served 5 years in Graterford, AND losing his first professional fight.... he is the epitome of rags to riches and perseverance in the face of adversity....he was my hero as a kid, and to this day he remain my personal favorite boxer....
No ducking, very little promotions, just keeps going win or lose.
bernard is the man!
Respect.
Hopkins & Marquez are the top 2 under rated fighters of all time.Both of them beat the best fighters of their era & did it as old men.Both men went up in weight to defeat better fighters & again did it as old men.I have Marquez 3rd greatest mexican boxer of all time only behind Sanchez & Chavez.I have Hopkins 3rd greatest middle weight of all time only behind Hagler (Hopkins Idol) & Robinson.Here is a man who defended his middle weight title belt a record 20 consective times.Both guys were under the spot light because more hyped up boxers of their era who both would go on to defeat,so both when had to get their name up there the old fashion way with their fist.Not only does Hopkins beat big named boxers he makes them look really bad.
He's an inspiration!🙏
my favourite boxer ever, hopkins has it all
My Idol Bernard Executioner Hopkins
Great Video
"you beat ppl up" loooool
I'll give Bernard this, he didn't and continues to fight anybody.
well said
"I wasn't near the badest guy...compared to the guys that was in there, I was a church mouse". Can you imagine what the dudes was like in graterford prison if Bernard was like a church mouse standing next to them?? Make you wanna rethink a career in prison.
awesome
i got to meet hop once.....i was scarred shitless, but what a nice guy. he really was a class act
I wish this could be uploaded in HD
l luv this man
That Nazim guy also trains/trained Rahman, doesnt he? I remember seeing him on a pic with him after the Holyfield fight.
During one of his interviews on The Jim Rome Show Bernard said while he was in Prison he used a heat generating light bulb to create an oven. That was similar to the principal behind the Kenner or Hasbro Easy-Bake Oven.
Bernard is the best spokesman choice for late night commercials for the Hasbro Easy-Bake Oven. With that sweet endorsement deal he can make money without always having to box.
Coward! Say that to his face! He is on the rings 50 greatest fighters in 2002 and id say now he is ranked even higher! Despite the fact that he can be a loudmouth he is a legend and young guys still cant beat at 46!
yes he did!
Big Shirley, can see where Bernard got his looks from.
Let's do this B-hop!!!! SHOCK DA PLANET!!!! PHILLY is with you boy!
Agreed, an inspiration when it comes to the system I mean how many times has he beaten it, And looked good while doing it. B-hop=legend.
I wish he had book . I have been looking if anyone knows tell me
Kid: u beat ppl up?
hopkins: i get paid for it.
Kid: how much?
lmao that made me laf
really had it tough fair play 2 him he turned a negative in to a positive i like dat trate in anyone but but but alot of people slaggn of calzaghe why i dont kno he beat his era hands down dats a fact he was best of his era dats all u can be it is wat it is!!!
froch froze a bit early doors but his heart and strength showed he was the true fighter, hes never lost and has an iron chin, bhps negatives tactics and cheating would get shown up man
I love you Bernard regardless of you past. I am proud of you. But do not retire as a defeated champion.
B Hop one of the best
hopkins is my 9th favorite greatest fighter ever
Make it happen
Bernard is one of my idol fighter, cruel, big and fast, the perfect executioner on the ring
batman got a day time job! :)
@deonvan depends on what the crime is. Some crimes shouldn't even be crimes. Just because the government says something is a crime doesn't always make it wrong.
I agree about Ali. He could be mean. But he never took it as far as Hopkins did with Wright. That was pure menace.
i like b hop couse he is for real he tells what he fells
not like some douchenags like pacman or gayweather
lbj6mj23 idiot
good point.............................lol.
@deonvan yupps
i can see the resembleance
this will be a crackin fight, hopkins vs calzaghe, i think itll go the full 12 & can see calzaghe winning on points
I find him interesting people don't like him seems like a nice guy
BERNARD 'THE EXECUTIONER" HOPKINS is the greatest middleweight's. And no one can take that away from him. He's maybe older now but i believe he can execute anyone who dare to challenge him...Oh men too bad no one can match him...HOPKINS your the best man!!!stay as you are and keep executing who ever challenge's you.
Maybe so but the only close call Joe has ever had was a split decision with Robin Ried Calzaghe will totaly outbox B-Hop. Anyway Joe's fights are always exciting and i'm sure it will be one hell of a contest.
Im glad you can look past the race issue and discover the tactics that were used to win. It was definitely a sleazy move, but it worked.
hopkins is da champ
@1Mumiaabujamal well in this case and many reported.. that is exactly what the issue is at hand
Hopkins is a lotta things but he's not a bad guy - anymore.
B-HOP Is 45yrs old Now & Up Against A Whirlwind, Big Puncher, In The Champion "JEAN PASCAL" On Dec 18th In Quebec City....
If You Want His Real Story Watch BERNARD HOPKIINS - Beyond The Glory (There Are 1 Of 4 Parts).....
and NY
and Tashkent! haha
@Jayfoz1 we'll see
More like the game
@iChex how can you hate someone you dont even know?
compared to the guys that was in there i was a church pastor
wow
Pissed
Bernard Hopkins is more street than than that puffcake Cassidy!! Datz MY WORD YO!!!!!!!!
He reminds me of DMX
X look like him. Bernard was born first.
Whats wrong with pie?
doesent matter if you retire undefeated, you have to fight the best. All the greatest fighters have lost and learned from it.
If we should consider mayweather one of the alltime greats he should have fought margarito, cotto and mosley.
@theecoteam
no philly overall one of the greatest
like real shit no lie i was talking to benard hopkins at captins catch the other day dont believe me idc i know i talked to him
lol i swear i knew sum hater was gonna say that i knew it.
oh really?
i agree completly with what you said
im from wales..and people dont see the boxer they only see the country they think calzaghe is gna win its 50/50 to be honest let time tell
I can't wait til the Hopkins Paqual fight. Age will win out May 21, 2011.
Willie Callender paquiao!
Because Chad is the champion and nr2 ranked light heavyweight! He is the only real shit around right now in the division. Forget Diaconu, forget Johnson, forget Woods. And Erdei has yet to prove himself. If Hopkins avoids him, its not because of the money. Well, not just. It's because he knows he won't be able to beat him easily.
WTF!?!?! So I'm just learning about this I didn't know he was stabbed I'm disappointed my mom are him didn't tell me
Trece Hopkins Are u related to BHOP?
I lost a lot of respect for Hopkins after the Calzaghe fight. I was there at the Thomas & Mack and he looked like he didn't want to be there. After a knock down, you steam in and finish the job, Hopkins just couldn't. Calzaghe just got stronger and stronger and hit him with so many punches, it got messy but Hopkins didn't fancy it at all.
I think part of mayweathers thinking was hes p4p number 1 and there are alot of dangerous contenders in my divison (cotto, margartio, williams, berto?) so I will let them beat each other up and fight the best of the lot with more money and hype and have more chance of winning after their tough fights with each other. Mayweather will almost certainly fight Margarito late 09 early 10 if he beats cotto again, he will have to. Meanwhile Williams has to wait his turn, but he knows that already.
我认为他是最强的
Acctually B-Hop is trying to duck Calzaghe well his trainer is, Calzaghe want's to shut this guy up and he would destroy him. People are saying Joe's last 2 fights will be B-Hop and Clinton Woods. However it seems like B-hop will duck him AGAIN
I posted on the wrong thread. Sorry chap. It was meant for someone else.
Trinidad didn't box in that fight, he was just out to punish Hopkins for what he did with the flag and all that. And as we know you cant do that against Hopkins, not if youre Trinidad anyway. Besides, the fight was delayed and it can play against a fighter. It seems this is gonna happen however, the rematch. At least from the info I got. And Dawson is too quick and too good for Hopkins to school him. He'd just take everything and give back double.
I hate hopkins but after watching this you gotta respect him.
Thats not the reason they didnt fight yet. According to Bernard, he wont fight Chad because Chad doesnt have a fan base. If Bernard is fighting for backpay and is trying to get the biggest fights for the biggest purses, why on earth would he fight Chad?
Its too bad for him that he couldnt intimidate Joe Calzaghe,maybe all that shit he talked to Joe beforehand would have would have served him better in the fight.
@RichCwm
forced?...... that was their own decision to fight b-hop!
you have heard wrong He called B-Hop out the day after he beat Kessler. Check on Frank Warren's site the press conference is on there warren anounces that Joe want's to go to philadelphia to fight him. He wants to fight Woods to but he said he wants two fights b4 retireing anyway. Trust me he wants Hopkins. It's B-hop's trainer who has openly said he doesnt want him to fight Calzaghe.
B-Hop ducked him some years back to. Joe would destroy him anyway.
Either way Hopkins lost a fight to a one handed fighter in excruciating pain
Very well. Eubank in his prime would have for a start and even Kessler could in my opinion. Look if he can lose to Tailor TWICE then he WILL lose to Joe.
wow you know alot of swear words, calzaghe fought kessler and lacy who were the best fighters in his division at the time he cant magic better opposition he fought two legends of the ring in hopkins and jones jr and won anyone who saw the calzaghe hopkins fight saw he was in control of the fight and hopkins was lucky too get a split defeat. My only dissapointment in calzaghe was that he didnt fight cotto
