B-Hop one of the MOST UNDERRATED… The man didn’t bleed in a boxing ring in 20 years!!! 🤯 that’s not even natural. I just wish we’d got to see him and Toney in their prime, why it never happened is a shame 😣
Listen. I've never seen anything like prime Roy Jones. I missed Sugar Ray Robinson but I've seen everyone from Ali to the present day. Roy was different.
Fam, it’s an absolute tragedy that the guys who missed out on prime Roy will never truly understand who he is! We hear these titles and phrase used way too often, but Roy really is a One of One. We’ve never seen anything like him before and won’t see another one again. As much as I always loved Mayweather, prime Roy is a different type of sandwich, man. For real. ESPECIALLY if we’re talking Money Mayweather. Pretty Boy Floyd would absolutely destroy Money Mayweather. He’d have Money May packed up and outta there at 1:57 in Round 9️⃣. Prime Roy is untouchable, though. There Old Roy (as in age) and then there’s THE OLD ROY (as in peak level). Even if you look at Old Roy’s losses later on, EVERY SINGLE TIME there was a flash of THE OLD ROY, you’d see in that moment how the match would’ve gone at Roy’s peak. And I don’t care WHO was across from him. Joe Calzaghe was a nightmare and one of the most disrespected, underrated fighters in recent history. But it’s not even close. I say that respectfully because I absolutely LOVE Joe! But a ♠️ has to be called a ♠️.
@@blacksuburban2410 I'm so glad that you mentioned Joe Calzaghe. God that dude could fight! Just a super talented fighter But Prime Roy would still have dusted him and I truly wish that fight had happened earlier in both of their careers.
Love this interview. I have nothing but the most respect for these guys. Never did I imagine them on a bus together with their family just chopping it up bigging each other up. Thank God for TH-cam and these guys.
Big facts Roy Jones was #1 for a long time he is still in my top 3 best fighters of all time and he was a champion from middle weight to heavy weight 💯💪💯
Bernard Hopkins is the man I wish Bernard Hopkins stopped fighting the 90s Can handle himself Same for great Roy Jones Jr Wish Roy Jones Jr preserved himself after the first 30 wins
Mickawicheck check was another champion at the time and he did everything in his power to duck Roy Jones Jr. he know that he would get demolished if he ever accept the tight.
Roy jones if he just would have stepped down after the first tarver fight or after Ruiz he would be considered the greatest ever i still think he is just in the principal he did it all without a jab the most important tool in boxing rj said nope I’m just gonna throw a hook that’s faster then your jab
It's sad that he had such a quick and drastic fall after the Tarver knockout, but all these casuals saying Roy sucks because of how he fought Tyson in that abomination really don't know how amazing RJJ was. That man wasn't just a step ahead, he was light years ahead of almost anyone around at the time.
I’ve always said that the 2 fights I would have loved to seen in their prime was the Marvelous one vs Roy and Bernard. It would have made so much money, and it would have been a classic.
He beat him in the rematch i know roy wasn't the same but also it has to be said hopkins was older and he started boxing in his 20's after jail so in the first fight he wasn't at his peak i wish we could have see their best versions collide in the ring
I find it funny how all the Roy stan’s who were with all the “Roy was past his prime,” “Roy wasn’t the same after the weight gain & loss” and other excuses about his fights with Tarver aren’t saying the same thing regarding Roy’s loss to Bernard…
He’s not a drinker. This is how the man talks and always has talked lol. You how disciplined he is with his body? You can’t drink alcohol and win World titles at 46 years old, still in the ring as a contender at 50 if you drink lol.
@@shafo4384 He doesn’t drink or smoke. Do you know the man? I do. I’m telling you, the man won’t even touch french fries or a soda. He calls soda “liquid crack”. Stop shading people with false narratives.
Do anyone remember when B HOP was getting his butt kicked and was knocked out of the ring by Joe Smith and landed on his Head / Cranium and claim he hurt his leg now I'm not a neurologist but how in the hell if he landed on his head you hurt your leg and said he couldn't continue the fight now if I'm not mistaken I was under the impression the head bones connected to the neck bone the neck bones connected to the spine bone the spine bones connected to the buttocks bone the buttocks bone is connected to the leg bone so I guess it is humanly possible .... since that night I lost all respect for B Hop
Ask him about Joe calzagi. Matter fact ask them both. I know they were in the ladder years of their career but he put s clinic on them both and I’m pretty sure unified the titles against Bernard and then went up to light heavyweight to beat Roy. That dude was coke af.
There’s no universe where boxing enthusiasts count ANY of Jones’s losses against his legacy. Tarver was the first to actually defeat him, but NOBODY even ranks him as a top 5 fighter of his generation. I’m not one of the kinds of fans who say none of Roy’s Losses count against record. There are people whose assessments come from loyalty to their favorite fighters, and I hate that. MY loyalty is to the sport/art form itself FIRST. HUGE difference! Loyalty to the sport first and talking Legacy, everyone knows who Roy is and what he does to his opponents in every single Loss when the fight happens when he’s still at his best. And it’s not even a close call. The Losses were 100% legitimate in terms of record. But when we’re talking Legacy, that’s a different type of sandwich. In almost all of the Losses, we saw flickering sparks of prime Roy. And every single time, it looked like every other fight he had before going up to Heavyweight. He just didn’t have it left in his body to maintain it for more than 15 seconds at a time for more than four or five moments in a fight. But anyways… There’s a reason why you have 100+ comments on boxing videos literally BEGGING the boxing community to validate YOUR personal feelings about Calzaghe. Reminds me of the Eminem, Beyoncé, and Taylor Swift fan bases. It’s like you NEED the world to agree with how you feel and won’t rest until you get it. 😂😂

Roy Jones Jr is sitting in front of him laughing. You can hear him say “Exactly”
Hopkins headbutt to much the fighters.roy jones said it .dirty fighter .look for it.he said it
😂😂😂 this 🥷 is a savage 😂😂😂
B-Hop one of the MOST UNDERRATED… The man didn’t bleed in a boxing ring in 20 years!!! 🤯 that’s not even natural. I just wish we’d got to see him and Toney in their prime, why it never happened is a shame 😣
Wow I didn't know that 😨
Toney?
Hell yeah! There were a number of prime prospects back then and Toney was doing his thing….
He’s never bled in a ring for real? I might have to see all his fights to make sure this is accurate but if it is- holy shit
Word up. It wasn’t until well after the Felix fight. Up until Calzaghe or that Canadian dude
Roy laugh like somebody grandmother 😂
😂
Living legends both b hop and Roy. Great fighters
It's good to the laughter between such champions
Big facts 💯💪💯
When 2 legends go at each other and later on talk about it like theyre just brothers reminiscing of the good old times. Thats growth.
Joe Calzaghe beat them both
Bernard and Roy are like brothers now
@CandyExotic407FL Roy is from Florida, and Bernard is from Pennsylvania, not even the same region.
Listen. I've never seen anything like prime Roy Jones. I missed Sugar Ray Robinson but I've seen everyone from Ali to the present day. Roy was different.
it was special to watch him in his prime
SRR was a monster

Salute to Bernard Hopkins!!!!!One Alpha speaking on another....
Yes. See, we don’t have to hate on each other. It’s okay to give people credit when it’s due
Big facts Roy Jones was #1 for a long time he is still in my top 3 best fighters of all time and he was a champion from middle weight to heavy weight 💯💪💯
Lol. I love his honesty. Roy was a real problem in his prime. It wasn’t just his speed, it was his agility and athleticism. A nightmare to fight.
Spence in the future speaking on Bud
Love the sportsmanship .
But he did go 12 rounds, so that counts for something.
True.. only other all time greats could stay with prime RJJ for 12 rounds
B hop one of the best to ever do it hands down

@@ChampChamp2024 toney dat nigga , stand in the paint n make ya miss
How the fuck did he beat Hopkins and Toney like that smh Greatest supermiddle weight and greatest light heavyweight boxer of all times by far
Roy was different man.
James was extremely drained
Mickawicheck check was another champion at the time and he did everything in his power to duck Roy Jones Jr. he know that he would get demolished if he ever accept the tight.
Chad Dawson has a case for best light heavyweight. Check his resume before you respond
@@swankcorleonenah bro
These guys dissed retired Joe Calzaghe and he returned and destroyed them both without wrists
True! 😂
Great interview and real. Hopkins is a real dude
Love to see when men get older their pride no longer gets in the way of truly complimenting one another.
Legend !!!! One of the greats. God Bless brother 🙏.
What’s crazy is he telegraphed it and still landed the punch
Bernard was ALWAYS entertaining! Love that dudes talent and personality. LEGEND for sure. Very humorous & engaging guy. #BHopInDaHouse
This video belongs in the archives along with some of the most important video footage of boxing that's out there
Legendary knowledge 😊😂 B-Hop the Executioner
Legends!
Roy jones if he just would have stepped down after the first tarver fight or after Ruiz he would be considered the greatest ever i still think he is just in the principal he did it all without a jab the most important tool in boxing rj said nope I’m just gonna throw a hook that’s faster then your jab

Awesome post🥊🥊🥊🥊
2 Legends that know the boxing game

That man wasn't just a step ahead, he was light years ahead of almost anyone around at the time.
Exactly. Agree 100%.
I suspect he wanted to fight Tyson after Tarver and then retire.
But his ego wouldn't let him leave the Tarver situation alone.
@@markkofi8522 was just sad how quick that the fall was after that.

I’ve always said that the 2 fights I would have loved to seen in their prime was the Marvelous one vs Roy and Bernard. It would have made so much money, and it would have been a classic.
The crazy thing about it they’re both Capricorn s so is Ali ,Frazier & Foremon !
We got lem mo rounds😂
😂😂😂😂
Bernard & Roy are the greatest of there division and will forever Be 🥊🥊🥊
I wish i could see this whole conversation
Мастер 👍
He beat him in the rematch i know roy wasn't the same but also it has to be said hopkins was older and he started boxing in his 20's after jail so in the first fight he wasn't at his peak i wish we could have see their best versions collide in the ring
They were both at their peak. Boxing young means early brain damage.
Bernard Hopkins talking in circles again
Roy stepped from a southpaw stance with that too so it was tricky
BHop is real he penitentiary!
I've always said Young Roy Jones vs. The Ex that took out Oscar would have been a great fight.
That's why you got out roys division and only fought him again when he was done.
I find it funny how all the Roy stan’s who were with all the “Roy was past his prime,” “Roy wasn’t the same after the weight gain & loss” and other excuses about his fights with Tarver aren’t saying the same thing regarding Roy’s loss to Bernard…
Who would win - Prime Hagler vs Prime RJJ?
Roy by UD.
Bernard got destroyed and embarrassed.
"I'll never let a whiteboy beat me" lol this bumb
Yeah yeah yeah.
Alan Minter said of Hagler, 'No black bastard is going to take my title'.
@NoDramaJustLove A lot of commentators have that opinion. But it's the judges views that counts.
😂😂😂😂
@@markkofi8522That was horrific, but I'd hoped we'd evolved some in 20 years.
Ты для многие лучшие во всех времена оссобена для меня
and then came Joe
Bernard why don’t you tell the story about the white boy beating you that ones my favourite
Funny
😂😂😂😂
BHop is drunk. That's why he's telling the truth.
