The fact that he's called old and fading 13 min into a 40+ min video but still prime shows his greatness and longevity

[dkdkkdmdm]

You know hes a great when youre 15 minutes into a 42 minute video and he's 36 and just knocked out Trinidad. Soo much to unpack

[CornerStoreDrums]

NOBODY does it better! A movie each time out!! 💯🥊

[Hybrd]

I am a boxer and honestly didn’t know too much about Hopkins. Shame on me. This video really made me emotional, wow, fantastic work as always Joseph. Thank you very much, this motivated me a lot

[Wixwa]

Outboxing young champions at 40+.

Hopkins, a true legend.

[jeffwood]

It's kinda hard not to say that he is one of the greatest boxers of all time.

[slaphead]

I love the way you put your shows together. Those repeats and slo-mo shots of Hopkins knocking at Trinidad were priceless!

[tonychecehere]

They need to give this man money and production team, and spots on ESPN every Friday and Sunday

[salsaboiave]

I recently been going threw these and this collection is already LEGENDARY! The More Content Added, this channel would be a Netflix of its own 🎉

[steviefranks]

The B-hop’s career was truly inspirational! Never quit! And believe in yourself!

[JellysShare]

Love these documentaries. I've seen all of them. I'm hoping to see one for Earnie Shavers soon.

[nikoldeem]

These Documentaries you Do are Top notch Boss. I appreciate the fact that you showed the robberies he had with the Taylor fights and the first Pascal fight but you also showed how he bounced back with getting Straps at 48 years of age.

[tjread]

With all he accomplished he’s still not talked about nearly enough! What a beast!

[zachmorgan]

Excellent boxing technique, discipline, god-given athleticism, ruthless aggression, bad intentions, a razor-sharp mind, and an unbeatable spirit is a helluva combination. Bernard had all these. Truly a remarkable fighter who doesnt get talked about enough.

Criminally underrated (No Pun Intended)

[boogitybear]

I’ve always said to those that are depressed and facing expiration to self, watch and listen to Bernard Hopkins life story. It will motivate you to better yourself.

[codytheburden]

Perfect timing. Just started looking into his career today after hearing him on JRE. Figured you'd have one

[scottpearce]

Hopkins don’t get no where near enough credit for he’s career! One of a kind and fought everyone

[blackezi]

One of the best inside fighters of all time. They way he can generate power from short distance is legendary
