Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins Beyond The Glory 2/4

[@kbvilla]

we've all heard the rags to riches stories before but this guy really brought himself out of a grimey, no-win situation and made it. this is inspiring stuff man.

[@yupera7325]

His life story is something out of the movie theatre, but more amazing that it is all a reality.

[@mgtkr1]

massive respect for bernard, not only for his boxing ability (still going into his 40's!!) but also for turning his life around the way he has. also not a volatile guy if this documerntry is anything to go by. i know how hard it is to turn your life around, livin in a deprived area and tough upbringin.

[@Roedflair]

I miss the Beyond the Glory series,every segment i've watched has been amazing and well produced. they need to bring this back for guys like floyd mayweather, lebron, mma fighters like jon jones, ect.

[@paulturndupschmidt5341]

Absolutely I definitely think they need to bring that back immediately

[@ivemadeavowtoneverpullout9049]

Most underrated boxer of the last couple generations

[@jamescarr4662]

Why is everything on KZbin "underrated'?

[@gav321]

"i was aloner for 2.5 yearz!!! amazing life story!!!he is tha man!

[@MrFamo21]

1 of the greatest ever north philly stand up!!!

[@RobindeValkNL]

Beautiful man. The world needs more people like him.

[@cyrillayman7431]

Philadelphia has a statue of a fake champion in rocky Balboia & in reality they should have a statue of Frazier & Hopkins you know real champions.

[@sarahluka7945]

Thats right man!!Joe Frazier the best boxer ever

[@cyrillayman7431]

Joe frazier was a great hw best ever though don't think so.

[@sarahluka7945]

+cyril layman for me was the best ever in hw!

[@thechamp2585]

The rocking thing he talks about is true. My dad was a C/O at SCI Waymart(Farview) in PA. He used to bitch at me if I was ever sitting next to him and started to rock. "THe fucking nuts in Farview and Grateford rock...don't do that!"

[@anirishway]

calzaghe hasnt lost a pro fight in 17 years & he champion 10 years!!!

[@SmelOdies]

If Bernard fights Joe, win or lose, that's a ballsy proposition after being at the elite level so late in his career. The fact that one of the biggest money fights Joe can make at this time, and the biggest star in terms of momentum he can match with is a guy in his 40s says a lot about Bernard.

[@Lakers032]

yeah he does remind me of the game by his voice but whenever I look at him I think of DMX.

[@SmelOdies]

Glen Johnson, Antwon Echols. Both were undefeated and were fearsome players at the time.

[@SmelOdies]

Now B-Hop wears expensive Armanis and applauds and shakes hands and holds up arms and smiles. It's a far cry from these halcyon days.

[@LennoxLewis86]

You're absolutely right.. His punch-output and awkward style are his best friends.. Hopkins's defence and superior defence nullifies both.. Also, the division and location are in Hopkins favor! I'd like to see Calzaghe throw a 1000 punches a round at LightHeavy..

[@deez723]

when tyson got locked up he should of tried somehow to continue training.. or fidn that spark to keep him going.. cos yeah he changed when he was released

[@biggerflexible]

Hopkins also fought Antawn Echols shown at 8:57 twice and Antawn was never the same.

[@britvroman]

awesome

[@juice887]

thank u chief

[@CreativeWorldFilms]

I have got to agree on that statement. But Bernard is the man anyway.

[@SmelOdies]

If Floyd and Bernard were to retire tomorrow, there's no way Floyd's career is as impressive as Bernard's. Bernard has a lot less physical gifts, but fought and won into his 40s.

[@paulturndupschmidt5563]

You know lying to yourself along with everybody else does not of us no favors right

[@SmelOdies]

@@paulturndupschmidt5563 I said that 15 years ago bro.

[@paulturndupschmidt5563]

@@SmelOdies Thank you for responding 15 years later

[@SmelOdies]

@@paulturndupschmidt5563 You’re welcome. I’d word what I said differently today. Both guys accomplished in ways neither would be able to do and ways no one will again for a long time if ever. Floyd could never win a title at 49 and Bernard obviously could not go his career without losing.

[@smitehz]

Teaching inmates how to Box in prison.. that's smart.. real smart.

[@SmelOdies]

If he fights Joe, win or lose, will you give him respect? I thought he could get knocked out by Jermain and Tarver, and he arguably beat both of them. The man is a wonder.

[@SmelOdies]

Of course Joe is a true champion, but Bernard, though he never fought in the UK, fought in Ecuador and France coming up the ranks.

[@vinnynoxy]

no mater wot u say it will be close

[@TheMaindenLessSoul]

lol

[@benny6t9]

@BigT443 - Best comment I've read on KZbin. Respect.

[@dreampetrucci]

That's not what happened with Segundo Mercado... that first fight was a robbery, Mercado should've won. The second one was a clear victory for B-Hop, but the reason why Mercado disappeared had nothing to do with how "Hopkins breaks them down". What happened was Mercado got into a confrontation with cops in his country, and they beat him up badly and gave him brain damage so he had to hang up his gloves.

[@wdchr]

...and "spelt" is not a word.

[@gypsykatcher30]

Hopkins looks alot like Game Ft.

[@Th3Best0ne]

if you cannot get motivated by this..................give up im not even trying to be funny just give up theres no hope for you if THIS cannot motivate you.........

[@JLeo777]

me too, he reminds me of DMX, not sure why though.

[@diondreward1867]

Maybe its because of the Crimes he did

[@columbusohio72]

4 of hopkins opponents disliked this video

[@wdchr]

...and you spelled "minutes" wrong

[@apacheslim]

It would be good if the fucking thinkg would play

[@SmelOdies]

That's bullshit. Bernard had a substantial career, all the more impressive that he did it late. You mention Tito and Oscar, but until Roy fights Tito, Bernard is the only one to stop both of them. That's nothing to shirk at. We gave credit to Hagler for beating or fighting Tommy and Ray, right?

[@ENOCHSZUNXXXL]

Talks like DMX.

[@DDeCouto]

I knew there would be a racial disscussion in a comment box. My goodness, It goes slavery, segregation, less pay, and we are still in ghetto's today. Thats it. No discussion. Its has nothing to do with our color.

[@bumbana]

1st of all, joe has been undefeated in all those yrs coz if u look at his resume who has he fought thats been a notible fighter???? i can only think of 2, lacy and kessler. if joe fought a jones jr, a tito trinidad, a tarver, he wouldnt even be breathing victory. and u can never compare lacy and kessler 2 bhop...... NEVER

[@salahaddin2009]

similar to Mike Tysons story!

[@Nachtfahrt80]

No way

[@wdj749]

Sometimes, you go through extreme lengths to get into your opponent's head. Come on. Hopkins' trainer is white.

[@wdchr]

died in prison? dont get so sensitive

[@bumbana]

thats coz calzaghe only fought mediocre boxers, tha only 2 good boxers he fought were kessler and lacy. and u can NEVER compare lacy or kessler 2 bhop. bhop is on an upper level than those 2.

[@BozJustBad]

This guy talks too much! That is the final impression you get after watching all this.:P

[@vinnynoxy]

joe will look good 4 da judges 4 sure, i think bhop has to 2 abit aggresive and make it rough 2 give joe problems, if and only if joe wins it will be on points 4 sure, joe cant ko bhop. never

[@Jahova126]

Ok then who's Jeff Lacy and Kessler... Nobodys!!! Calzaghe=Not even in B-Hops league... Calzaghe Shit!!!

[@MustafaAkamo]

i understand how that would offend you. but i think he's coming from the angle of having once been victimized by white people... it'll never happen again. i didnt take that to mean he hated white people...

[@wdchr]

Actually africa was civilized way before europe and they were advanced in medicine and in technology. Just look at the great pyramids. But then again, you probably dont know these facts because chances are your parents are probably cousins.
