Roy is one of the most kindest humans you’ll ever meet. Even inside the ring he never tries dirty tactics intentionally and doesn’t make a scene when others do him dirty. A real champ right there!!
Bernard hits Roy in the back of the head Roy just takes it like a man, Roy hits Bernard in the back of the head and Bernard falls to the floor like a professional actor worthy of a Grammy award 😂
very few if any body is better than RJ.. talk about a technician... Roy Jones Jr is one of the best boxers who almost never breaks rules. thats why hes better, because he can learn almost every fighters style & knock em out! This other dude seems like its for show only
I Love both these guys!! Hopkins was bull rushing and head butting the entire time!! Unbelievable the ref let that go on the entire fight.... Not to mention purposeful low blows...
At his peak, Jones was amazing! I followed his career and I was in awe watching him move like he did in the ring. Jones was one of those great boxers that don't come along all that often.

Roy Jones Jr. was one of the greatest, most talented & exciting boxers of all time but he was never the same after that 2nd Tarver fight I wish he would have never moved up in weight classes he got to ahead of himself
It doesn't matter how many losses they have we as fans know he is the best fighter in his prime lol. Even over my favortire floyd may weather. But he just didnt care to much after i feel
Moving up in weight was never the problem, it was coming down from heavyweight to light heavyweight that was the problem. That's a weight cut of 20 pounds, and doing that under a year really hurt him.
Mr Q Ceaz Funny you call him one of the greatest. He never beat any Hall of Fame fighters except for a very young Bernard Hopkins and James Tony. Other than that he never beat a single Hall of Famer. He actually lost and got knocked out to some tomato cans. People like you fell in love with Roy Jones beating up on ESPN fighters
@@Timelykel it means nothing dude you can whoop Roy's ass at this age and so can I and that's a fact nobody cares about anybody beating up on a washed up fighter which is exactly why nobody cares they're both foolish for fighting past they're primes especially fighting Joe wtf were they thinking that they would win??? Boxing is a young man's sport period both are greats but we remember them at they're best not at they're worst what the hell is wrong with you dude two washed up fighters fighting for what an ass whooping that happened many years ago and you were entertained by that??? You're seriously not telling me you enjoyed that fight are you??? Two bums both washed up and one holding a grudge??? Understand something dude Bernard is not at his best here but he was when Roy beat his ass effortlessly literally one of the most one sided unanimous descisions in boxing history that's what pissed him off and that's why he wanted redemption which he still doesn't have because the world knows what Roy did to him when they were both young, strong, explosive, athletic, hungry, and at they're best boxing is about beating the best at they're best in order to lay claim to being the best dude and niether of them can say that but Roy can say he owned B-Hop and everyone else at his best facts now go watch some real fights with young boxer's the 90's are over get over it
Now the discussion is over sorry dude that's the way it is Floyd is undefeated Joe calzache is undefeated they have bragging rights Jones and Hopkins had they're run but Roy owned him get over it
@Gav DeLeon , true, I'm with you there. My gripe is just how he went on about a few illegal blows vs what he was doing, just made me sick. But then again, for some guys a win is a win and they are happy to take it however it comes.
Bhop is the greatest flopper! He acts like those petty fouls really hurt him then he flops to get rest because he needed the break after tiring himself out LOL
2 Legendary Fighters right here B-Hop never ducked ANYBODY he always had a heart of a lion but Roy Jones Jr. was special in his prime you'll never see another fighter like him
2002 - Hopkins Ducked Calzaghe at 168. 100% - He turned down $3m and a fight in Wales. So Frank Warren came back with $4m and said 'lets have it in America" Hopkins said yes. Then a day later, pulled out. No reason given Thats ducking
Hopkins is a great ! And a hell of a lot OLDER than Jr ! So why did Hopkins WIN because he's the man ! And one of FEW that went from middle weight to light heavyweight and beat the shit out of Antonio Tavares!!!! NOW WHO'S GOT something TO SAY!!!! I bet Hopkins could whip anybody's ASS that's talking SHIT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!
His career was done after tarver. He really should have went out at heavyweight against ruiz or maybe 1 more against tyson to be 50-1 undefeated. I never counted that bs DQ griffin caused him to get

You should Lose respect for hm because he tries to win by leading with his head! He does it every single fight true to cut his opponent with headbutts! He’s never had a fight where he doesn’t do it! Especially this one!
You are right on point sir. People don't realize he bulked up and came back down within the same year to face Tarver. So neither Tarver nor Johnson faced the same Roy that beat Montell Griffin for example. Prime Jones beats Bhop 10 out of 10 times.
@@sherrillraymond7595As much as I want to agree with you I can't. See my comment is mainly focused on his short run at heavyweight and the aftermath of him bulking up and then drooping all those pounds back so quick. At heavyweight (2003) he faced titleholder Ruiz who at that time ranked 7th. Now we where all waiting to see if Roy would face the top dogs but he didn't. So no... I can't agree with your "any weight class" assestment. At that time even old Iron Mike was still active he had real options
@@sherrillraymond7595 For that to be true he would've remained at heavyweight. Instead he went back down within the same year to face Tarver for a fraction of the money he would've made against a top 5 heavyweight opponent so no. No way he truly wanted to stay at that weight and fight Iron Mike.
I love it commentator Andre Ward! This is a good rivalry one of the best! Hopkins a dirty fighter! Hitting below the belt where ref can’t see! And head butts!
I love the old Roy Jones Jr. I wish the man didn’t lose that invincibility he once had. It’s just unfortunate for some of the best fighters to deteriorate just before getting passed their primes especially as incredible as Roy. Love him and Iron Mike but Tyson is a true monster. I wanna see him fight David Tua instead, I hope Tua gets in shape and make a comeback ‘coz he’s practically the same cut as Mike. Natural born strength who defies aging.
Scott, I agree. When both were at their very best, Hopkins would be lucky to go 10 rounds with Roy. Funny how early in his career the Olympics screwed Roy, and later in his career, he was screwed again by fighting too long.
Bernard Hopkins was much better for a longer time. Therefore, they have different primes technically. These are two excellent fighters and they beat each other. Let's recognize both great boxers in this fight.
@@realrhycethoughts3578 Jones is one of the best ever as far as talent goes. In my opinion B-Hop was a better champion. He was great into his 40s!! They are on similar levels, so to me it's a coin flip of "who is better". They are 1-1 head to head. Plus consider the records as well.
Can you believe a prime Roy Jones fought a young Bernard back when he wasn't even a world champion yet and Bernard still survived all 12 rounds and fought well
Hopkins fought a very dirty fight here. He was throwing low blows, rabbit punching, and hitting on the break. the entire fight. And then he falls to the canvas in a heap when Jones gives it back. Unreal.
@1 0f tha Watchmen You don't need to be born in the 90's to know what happened in the 90's you dumbass, there's plenty of boxing fans who talk about guys like Robinson, how many of them were around during the 40's?
B-Hop fighting skills obviously begin with headbutts, rabbit punches, and low blows, and culminate in Oscar-worthy play-acting and double standards. Not impressive.
Maybe watch more Hopkins then, not ther most enjoyable to watch but ya dont get wins over Trinidad/Delahoya/wright/Pascal,Johnson,Pavlik etc etc without being great, and yes hes also a vert dirty fighter who knows all the tricks, but if thats all he used he wouldnt be a great at all because thats not nearly enough to win elite level fights, let alone like 15-20 of them over 25+ year career,Roy Jones jr was better though prime for prime thats for sure.
@@javiercasillas6133 Nothing impressive about cheating. What's the point of rules. Just because too many referees are useless doesn't mean there is any virtue in fooling them. Guys that cheat ultimately just fool themselves. Look at Hopkins now, his bull shit has not made him a happy man. Deep down he knows the truth, that kills in the end. It's just very sad for those he cheats and even sadder for him.
@@TheNYgolfer No virtue in cheating. He only fools himself in the end. See Hopkins now, a deluded bitter man. It's not a matter of who anyone is to criticize. Wrong is never right. Money and fame? They ain't worth shit if you have to lie when you look in the mirror. This bullshit will eat away at most. Those that can live with it - it ends even worse for them.
This was after Roy had gone up to heavyweight and came back down to middleweight...When they first fought it was even a contest,...Roy completely outclassed him...
roy was just too good for b-hop thats why he played the fight out like that to get the win. b-hop is one of the most professional dirty fighters in the game. got to give him props for mastering how to cheat in every way and get away with it.
if the refs did their fkn jobs hopkins probably wouldnt have won half the fights he did. pretty sure it's against the rules to hold constantly but they let him do it the entire fight without a single warning. i'm so glad his last fight ended the way it did, if anyone deserves to go out in such an embarrassing way it's hopkins.
Hopkins had the only strategy that could ever beat jones and he used it perfectly, and those tactics could very much handle Jones in his prime as well, beautiful smart fight by Hopkins, he refused to lose and had the plan to match!! I met Hopkins at champs gym in north Philly in 90s when he was just work for guys like prince Charles Williams, ive seen him come into gym on a 10 speed bike, head upstairs at champs and get busy after he probably worked all day to survive
For those saying Hopkins should’ve been penalized for his penalties, I said the same about Ali when he used to habitually hold the back of his opponents heads when they were whooping him up. But people said otherwise due to their appreciation or over appreciation for Ali based on his out of the ring shit
Roy is one of the most kindest humans you’ll ever meet. Even inside the ring he never tries dirty tactics intentionally and doesn’t make a scene when others do him dirty. A real champ right there!!
Hopkins had one of the best lead headbutts in the game for years
I mean look at the size of that thing..he can't help but lead with it
dirty prison boxing tactic
Exactly!!!
Ik right only Holyfield’s comes close to his
Hopkins is also one of the top 5 middleweights top ever fight and rated much higher than Jones jr all time pound for pound
Watching Roy Jones at this point was painful when you remember how untouchable he was when he was younger.
Agreed.
@Vercingetorix i agree. Toney , hopkins and virgil hill were definitely overrated bums.

B hop actually won¡ So this is how he became undisputed champion when he fought Jermaine Taylor¿
Lol the face of Bernard is so funny when he was crying
Head butts elbows low blows. Damn bhop smh
All the flops too so he could rest and escape the heat. Smh. Only true losers win the wrong way. As a man, BHop should be embarrassed.
Win that's all..
Nan please Roy Jones is a "Boxing God". End of discussion. GOAT!!!
What about joe C?
lol
Scott, I agree. When both were at their very best, Hopkins would be lucky to go 10 rounds with Roy. Funny how early in his career the Olympics screwed Roy, and later in his career, he was screwed again by fighting too long.
What A Fight I remember this like yesterday
Calzaghe schooled them both, never the same after!
@BEASTMODE 2020 so was Joe washed up at that point tho
Who would win in a fight Floyd Mayweather Jr or Joe Calzaghe they are both undefeated and have dominanted most fights they have fought
@BEASTMODE 2020 lol so was Joe, they were his last two fights
Рой джонс легенда он КОРОЛЬ бокса 🔥🔥🔥🔥👑👑👑👑
Translation?
@@himothyvanguard9542 Jones best and king
B Hop, was a dirty fighter. Oh, and a crying baby!👶
And a racist
I'm disgusted by hopkins cheating. This is anything but boxing.
Johnny Tapia, Roy Jones Jr are my to all time greatest
Can't wait for Pacquiao Marquez 5 in 2030
😀😂
I’m fucking dying here
Dandie Pascual gadaam I’d pay for it fux
I don’t get what’s the connection with the video
For what? Marquez beat his ass like 3 fights and almost killed him in the last one. The guys here were more evenly paired
in their primes Roy schooled him. That's all that matters.
Bernard Hopkins was much better for a longer time. Therefore, they have different primes technically. These are two excellent fighters and they beat each other. Let's recognize both great boxers in this fight.
@@davidrieger1483 well one is arguably the best ever and that's Jones.
@@realrhycethoughts3578 Jones is one of the best ever as far as talent goes. In my opinion B-Hop was a better champion. He was great into his 40s!! They are on similar levels, so to me it's a coin flip of "who is better". They are 1-1 head to head. Plus consider the records as well.
Even though Hopkins was 28 in that fight, that wasn't him at his best. The best Hopkins was in his late 30s when he beat Trinidad and De La Hoya.
He’s was on drugs lol
Can you believe a prime Roy Jones fought a young Bernard back when he wasn't even a world champion yet and Bernard still survived all 12 rounds and fought well
Hopkins fought a very dirty fight here. He was throwing low blows, rabbit punching, and hitting on the break. the entire fight. And then he falls to the canvas in a heap when Jones gives it back. Unreal.
He couldn't do this to Jones in the 90's though.
Thats because he was "Ster-roid Jones" back in his prime in the 90's.
Jones fought really timid and gun shy in their first fight. Bernard improved and bounced back
@1 0f tha Watchmen You don't need to be born in the 90's to know what happened in the 90's you dumbass, there's plenty of boxing fans who talk about guys like Robinson, how many of them were around during the 40's?
@@AaronEstebanSEO Have you got any proof that he was on steroids? For all we know, Hopkins could have been juicing too.
@@H.K.5 he has none and there is none. Jones was just a freak of nature for how fast he was.
B-hop a straight hussie for this whole fight. And the "Theatrics"lol smh
Never wished Roy knocked someone out this much.
Dos grandes boxeadores, dos leyendas...!!!!!!
Lost respect for bhop on this one. He claims he wanted Roy so bad, to go out like that?
Yes he’s a pussy!!
This Rematch would've been 10x better 15 years sooner
Meh Roy woulda won again
Them boys couldn't see Roy in his day
Nobody ever claimed Hopkins was a clean fighter...but he was sneaky as hell!!
These two in the ring together is one of the highest combined fight IQ's in one ring than you will ever see.
Why do I not remember this fight? What year was this in? I must have been deployed or something....
Hopkins didn't have IQ he had agression high punch output and dirty tactics and the best headbutt in the world
B-Hop fighting skills obviously begin with headbutts, rabbit punches, and low blows, and culminate in Oscar-worthy play-acting and double standards.
Not impressive.
If you are/were a world champion, Hopkins might care about what does, or does not, impress you.
I'm impressed I agree about being dirty, but it's impressive that he manages to get away with it. He does anything and everything to get the win.
Maybe watch more Hopkins then, not ther most enjoyable to watch but ya dont get wins over Trinidad/Delahoya/wright/Pascal,Johnson,Pavlik etc etc without being great, and yes hes also a vert dirty fighter who knows all the tricks, but if thats all he used he wouldnt be a great at all because thats not nearly enough to win elite level fights, let alone like 15-20 of them over 25+ year career,Roy Jones jr was better though prime for prime thats for sure.
@@javiercasillas6133 Nothing impressive about cheating. What's the point of rules. Just because too many referees are useless doesn't mean there is any virtue in fooling them. Guys that cheat ultimately just fool themselves. Look at Hopkins now, his bull shit has not made him a happy man. Deep down he knows the truth, that kills in the end. It's just very sad for those he cheats and even sadder for him.
@@TheNYgolfer No virtue in cheating. He only fools himself in the end. See Hopkins now, a deluded bitter man. It's not a matter of who anyone is to criticize. Wrong is never right. Money and fame? They ain't worth shit if you have to lie when you look in the mirror. This bullshit will eat away at most. Those that can live with it - it ends even worse for them.
B Hop straight dirty boxing. 1993 fight Jones beat him
19JUN67 19JUN67.When was this fight?
Beat him with a broken hand at that!
Never liked the dude. Never saw a nice highlight of Bhop always trash.
Young Jones will beat anyone
This was after Roy had gone up to heavyweight and came back down to middleweight...When they first fought it was even a contest,...Roy completely outclassed him...
roy was just too good for b-hop thats why he played the fight out like that to get the win. b-hop is one of the most professional dirty fighters in the game. got to give him props for mastering how to cheat in every way and get away with it.
B-Hop is a drama queen
He is not that great as he thinks he is. Canelo and ggg much better fighters
I wasnt a fan of B-Hop. Never liked his style, specially on the game fight night champion lol
It was the era for the middle and light heavy class.
Tell me about all that over acting should've gottin him a Oscar😂😂😂
James Bell When was this fight?
“Common..Special”, was he talking about his “special moves”? Low blow, acting? Jones, in my list, is way above Bhop.
Watching this my admiration 2 Tito Trinidad has increased how he survived those 2 beasts.
B hop was looking like a soccer player with alll that flopping! 🤣😂
At near 40.... I appreciate dearly how great these guys kept up their fitness.
Yeah its impressive how im shape they are but then again its not because they are athletes.
That was dirty boxing at its BEST 🥊
if the refs did their fkn jobs hopkins probably wouldnt have won half the fights he did. pretty sure it's against the rules to hold constantly but they let him do it the entire fight without a single warning. i'm so glad his last fight ended the way it did, if anyone deserves to go out in such an embarrassing way it's hopkins.
Hopkins had the only strategy that could ever beat jones and he used it perfectly, and those tactics could very much handle Jones in his prime as well, beautiful smart fight by Hopkins, he refused to lose and had the plan to match!! I met Hopkins at champs gym in north Philly in 90s when he was just work for guys like prince Charles Williams, ive seen him come into gym on a 10 speed bike, head upstairs at champs and get busy after he probably worked all day to survive
For those saying Hopkins should’ve been penalized for his penalties, I said the same about Ali when he used to habitually hold the back of his opponents heads when they were whooping him up. But people said otherwise due to their appreciation or over appreciation for Ali based on his out of the ring shit
It's not even remotely the same
So one foul is equal to six fouls?
Back watching Bernard, God was he a dirty fighter sometimes. He would do anything to win to like jump on the ground from a hit that did nothing.
