Bernard Hopkins ARGUES with ESPN Dan Rafael

[@MrJohnny583]

LMAO Dan Rafael is always catching heat from fighters.

[@llong3316]

Especially recently

[@joelopez40oz23]

+MrJohnny583 for speaking the truth

[@llong3316]

JoeLopez40oz not at all

[@Hallstyle]

Cause the fighters don't respect him or his opinion....

[@earnwithhearn180]

Hopkins and Rafael have a good relationship for years.

[@ThAkIDRu]

00:55 "and im taking that Roy Jones song that never went platinum"....why he take that shot at Roy like that!! 😅😅😅😅

[@ironmike-putsallkindavideo7840]

@ 0:55 .......... I wonder why BERNARD HOPKINS had to mention that ROY JONES rap song never went Platinum ??? lol

[@W67w]

He rambles on then says let me finish, lol

[@llong3316]

Bernard is saying Golovkin needs to start taking risks and get out of his comfort zone

[@Dukeoden7458]

Making more excuses for Ginger.

[@haasy]

+greyraptor Dan will call him on his BS everytime

[@frederickfrenchjr08]

Jacinto Martinez hopefully.

[@ovobegzinoii51]

Lol

[@kisay69]

Bernard was offered $3.5mil to fight Roy at 175 in 2004. which would've been his highest payday at the time. he took the offer to fight Dela Hoya at 155 instead which made him $10mil. in short, bhop is being a hypocrite

[@chrisdownum1034]

Or hes smarter than you think. Forget what he says to reporters,but he fought de la hoya and improved his legacy, and also fought Jones twice. He might be the smartest strategist to ever box and the best to ever self promote and hes the only fighter I see in this era & his era with the discipline & dedication he possesses. It's hard to find a fighter who's super intelligent & super tough, of the current fighters out there. Just curious, who do you guys think can match B Hop in those attributes?

[@brannarama]

How is that being a hypocrite. That's his point. He made a weight sacrifice for a bigger fight - again

[@haasy]

Can't mess with Dan Rafael.

[@dacity3901]

Bhop just talking and talking that Khan fight was one of the biggest mismatches in the last decade right along with Golovkin and Brook.

[@GameOver22358]

Hopkins doesn't want ggg to break his record

[@ericr1048]

AggressiveRuby fighters understand that records are made to be broken and if ggg made it a point to challenge himself the way the fighters before him he'd be more the respected and celebrated. the same way hopkins respects ward, roy jones and others who fought. its not hate. you wouldn't want to see others come after you taking short cuts to greatness and be praised for it. that would bother you if you were a competitor.

[@demiurgeobzen327]

I'm pretty sure B-Hop doesn't care about Golovkin knocking out blown up welterweights and deli shop workers lol.

[@Cg-ru3eh]

1:54 haha

[@cortezfernandez7475]

Dan Rafael really shouldn't be given the respect he has somehow created fools into believing he should have. He shouldn't be regarded highly as a boxing journalist because he is incompetent. Max Kellerman is among the best.

[@Cg-ru3eh]

Micky Garcia vs Errol is a big size difference

[@thegulagarchipelago5921]

One can listen to the Big Man!! All is sense what he speaks!! But these kind of fights won't happen as the promoters push their own agendas and the fighters themselves don't take ownership for their own careers anymore!

[@alfredomontalvo5144]

Mr. Hopkins tends to make everything about himself. This matter has nothing to do with him but with Canelo saying he fears nobody and then avoiding GGG. Nobody asked if he did catch weight fights or not.

[@mcmillerernest7453]

That song didn't go platinum but you keep using it the way you do you going to make it go platinum

[@jessc_013]

Hold on hold on hold on golden boy promoter "give the fans the fights they want to see" Forget catch weights how bout the middleweight title ACTUALLY get defended at 160 and then after glovokin takes the belt then we go w/ the catch weight shit for glovokin

[@chrisowens9977]

Bernard is that dude😎😎😎.

[@1879gym]

Hopkins is completely correct... ggg should fight Kovalev....

[@kisay69]

Golovkin would make more money fighting Canelo at 160 than Kovalev at 168 or 175

[@Groovingonem]

Yes, then he fought him and got robbed

[@StereoMonolith1]

@@Groovingonem And then he robbed derevyachenko

[@ratuofficeforadvocacyandco2731]

DR is a great Reporter...

[@josephn9251]

Said no one ever

[@thisisgame]

Bhop wants GGG to lose so he doesn't break his MW record and hes looking for a way for Andre Ward to duck Kovalev who whooped his ass Boxing fans see thru this bullshit We want GGG vs Canelo at 160 and Kovalev vs Ward at 175. GGG vs Kovalev at 168 is fucken dumb

[@alfredomontalvo5144]

Bhop would suggest GGG to fight Klitschko but his cow cash Canelo

[@MalikMaximus]

thisisgame Ward beat him twice how do you feel

[@andremcfarlane2821]

thisisgame Well then Ward fought Kovalev twice and Canelo and GGG about to happen. But I think Hopkins was right everybody wants to see the smaller Canelo move up but GGG can't move up to fight the bigger man ? I don't get the logic same with the smaller Ward fighting the bigger Kovalev the coincidence is that both GGG and Kovalev happen to both be white and bigger than the others that ppl seem to want them to fight with more power than those other 2 but I'm just making the observations I'm starting to think it's a great white hope thing and y'all don't want them to fight each other because of prejudice

[@rl2862]

thisisgame Ward spanked Kovalev into mental retirement haha

[@CopperAboriginies]

thisisgame Ward whooped kovolov twice and is still undefeated wait a minute GGG fought Canelo and didn't look good in that fight it was a draw but we fans know who won that fight. These were good match ups great fights regardless who wins or loses.

[@241kyle]

Hopkins and Dela hoya trying to beat around the bush when it comes to canelo fighting ggg. They dont want canelo to fight ggg yet cuz they know he'd get ktfo. They'd rather wait till ggg gets old and hold the wbc belt for ransom. Its as simple as that. 160 pound title and canelo wants to defend it at 155?? Its a joke!!

[@OscarRuiz-hu5xc]

kyle lamar from what I see ggg is scare

[@indodaemdaka]

GGG got nothing

[@shishioh]

[@alexanderhernandez6397]

Ok bernard hopkins with all the respect after headbutting trinidad 89 times in the fight why u never gave trinidad a rematch 😁

[@frankhyman3440]

They are trying their best to protect Canelo from getting KO`d.Canelo and GGG are both 160 champions yet GGG should go up in weight,give me a break.

[@andremcfarlane2821]

Frank Hyman GGG is bigger than Canelo and he continues to fight smaller guys why didn't he try to fight Ward or Kovalev? If you listen that's what Hopkins is tryna say everyone is moving up to fight GGG but GGG can't move up to fight someone?

[@StereoMonolith1]

GGG career middleweight, real good boxer but far from great. On paper, he should’ve knocked canelo out twice. Talked a big game but never went up to fight ward when given the chance. That’s all I’ll remember about GGG.

[@mokamokanana]

what a joke!!!

[@nicmasemendoza8155]

Fast forward Canelo went up in weight and smashed both of those guys

[@josephn9251]

Fast forward bivol owns bumnelo

[@parlayleno2937]

Benard just Chin check them with no punches thrown real talk GGG could do it black fighters are held to a different standard they want Floyd to fight GGG and he moved up 5 weight classes and almost 40 GGG 34 and haven't moved up one weight classes facts is facts 💯

[@rcfreaks6281]

Floyd moved up 5 weight classes because he out grew 130, 135, 140. Went up to 154 for career pay day fighting washed Oscar.

[@callumwilliams1383]

"let me finish", so Dan lets him talk but then try's to reply and gets shut off immediately...sounds about right. Dan is always catching heat because he asks the tough questions. Please tell me it's not just me thinking this.

[@nuthin4sumpthin]

Jumping on that grenade for Canelo lol All credibility went out the window with these GoldenBoy clowns

[@dwonderousthegreat2198]

[@thegoldenhero]

bernard sound crazy in this video tho lol

[@BOKAJAN1997]

bernard wrong on this one

[@ericr1048]

BOKA THE SMOKA hes not. you guys need to remove you emotions for a moment and listen to what he said. he said fight the guy above you. he just fought a guy 2 weight classes below. he didnt ask him to do what roy did which is go up 3 for a heavyweight. he said 5 to 8 lbs.

[@joeygonzo]

BHOP IS SO WRONG. Dude, what happened with Ward vs Dawson at 168??? Dawson was dead on the way to the ring. Hop needs history lessons. What happened to Leonard vs Lalonde ??? WHAT HAPPENED TO SUGAR RAY ROBINSON when he fought Joey Maxim ? Marvin Hagler did not go up to 175 to fight Michael Spinks . Some middleweights just max out at 160. He wants GGG to fight Kovalev ? Look at GGG. Does he look like a huge middleweight ?

[@obatron1]

Canelo is all Golden Boy has right now and they Bernard included are doing anything and everything to protect him. No B-Hop we want to see Canelo fight GGG at 160 pounds.

[@alexanderhernandez6397]

Bhop is the gratest but he beat trinidad easy don king offer him bunch of money for trinidad rematch and he 🚶 away from it there is the question but he gave rematches why why why

[@patrickmcknight1355]

Zzzz man this guy just spews and spews...loves to hear himself talk...make it 36 seconds into this...

[@ronin2237]

Bernard exposing the double standards in boxing

[@derrickwilliamson5843]

They made Andre ward fight kovalev do you see these hypocrites I mean do you see this s*** they made Andre Ward have to run up light heavyweight and because over there and you had to fight him twice what Triple G is being allowed to avoid all of the tough fighter even in his own middleweight division that he swore up and down he wanted to unify the middleweight division and that's the reason why he wouldn't fight Andre Ward well now they see that the middleweight division has beefed-up so now they come out and say that they will never unify the middleweight division . a bunch of fucking cowards man is what they are and this is a fucking disgrace to boxing. it's a disgrace that these cowards even get to be in the same room with fighters like Errol Spence Danny Jacobs Terence Crawford Andre Ward Mikey Garcia Floyd Mayweather Garcia senior a song Mickey Rooney God bless the dead Keralis and Mickey's opponent Arturo Gatti Fighters Muhammad Ali Marvin Hagler how dare they try to say that Triple G is the next best middleweight since Marvin Hagler you deserve to have his shit not back for that Hager was never scared to fight any body that stood up to poss like him . and the only reason hagler didn't move up in weight was the middle weight division was stacked with good competition because boxing use be you are only as good as the people beat . but now for certain fighters only certain ones you don't have to beat top competition you can fight bums but the boxing sanctions and the powers-that-be and their henchmen the sports networks will praise them as though they beat topic competition it's sad man but they get to No Love here that's for sure
