All due respect to Smokin' Joe where you could make a case. My tiebreaker would be that B-HOP was BORN and raised here. Smokin' Joe is all Philly but he was born in South Carolina and came here as a teen.
jjayphilly yea, but joe frazier learned to box in philly by getting the shit kicked outta him by 2 middleweight brothers. frazier is a classic Philadelphia fighting system boxer.
I love B-Hop, but he sound like a hater against Floyd during this interview. B-Hop is not in those negotiation rooms with Floyd, thats why he never sees him do deals. I guarantee Floyd arrogant self is not sitting silent on those negotiation deals.
unirave Does't mean hes in those meetings. Not his area otherwise, he wouldve simply said Floyd doesnt negotiate his deals instead of "I never heard or seen Floyd negotiate..." as if hes not there.
This is probably top 5 interview for the breakfast club. I was able to take notes and learn from this and apply it to current situations I'm going through
This man is speaking knowledge and wisdom. I shut my mouth and listen. He’s 52 in this interview and looks like he’s 38. Smh. These are the type of men I look up to. He’s a living legend, a great businessman, and a martial arts genius. I’m all in.
Jason Voorhees y’all can’t get over the way he talks if you listen to the words he’s saying it’s actually good info for fighters who want to become businessmen
I would love to see Bernard Hopkins graduate from college with a degree in English. But all joking aside, this man really had my respect b/c he is so disciplined and focused.
I used to detail his and his wife's car. Wilmington Delaware at Prices Corner car wash one of the most humble individuals I have ever met. He talk to me like he knew me my whole life! a good soul and in my mind the greatest fighter to ever live I salute you brother✊💯🙏
I am 41 and I box very well at the lower divisions. They sell us that age thing. All you need is Discipline. I don't do alcohol or cigarettes, no clubbing, no junk food, always working out, no artificial things or anything food in a pack. Though in Africa our food and body make up is different, our water is natural, some of us have amazing genetics. When u see me you would never agree I am up to 40
He is one of the best businessmen after boxing. Floyd Mayweather has a lot of business he's involved in that Al Haymon has made sure he will always be a rich man. I appreciate boxers who listen to another savvy business person.
i love how he didnt make himself look like a sucker for getting knocked out the ring. he took that one like a man and kept going forward and kept it positive. no rounda rousey shit lol
5:48 - LMFAO This dude is a character. hahahaha. Would love to hang out with him one day. Dude looks like he's really ethical, though. I respect him for that.
"Don't always...Never always..." OK, BHop. Bernard's my man, but his problem is he loves to hear himself talk, and he should sit down and listen to himself on tape some time. He's the man, but he's not as smart as he thinks he is. Naazim had one of the best quotes in an interview right after BHOP got KO'd.
I didn't know he was as informed as he is. a guy from prison most had counted out. a black felon sending his daughter to collages. how can you hate on that. this man knows his boxing. great interview.
As a boxing fan I have to say that watching B-Hop still boxing in his 50's is like getting the bike you wanted as a kid at 35.. I'm over it that time has passed.
Marine Vet you never had that fighting fire burn in your soul. Boxing is life, you never lose the itch. We are insane, that's why we fight. U wouldn't understand
Best interview of the year so far. That's a million dollar dude giving somewhat of a guide. But when I think about sports I always think about the invisible man by Ellison .
Man don't hate on Yee, she's the only female interviewing men. She has to add her comments or what is she there for? She's cool, everyone just need to chill. Her background is hip hop so let's just chill.
Why do black folks always down talk other black folks. Like Bernard could've said he is a good business man with out down talking Floyd. Part of being a businessman is hiring the right people and outsourcing as many things as possible. Bernard doesn't get that concept. Just do you get your money with out down talking other black men or women.
Trane SFC Floyd is a better boxer than Hopkins ever was. Maybe not in a street fight. But that's besides the point, they discussing business and money here. Hopkins is not worth nearly as much as Floyd because Floyd makes better business decisions. I don't understand what Hopkins gets out of focusing on the only black man making real money in the sport. Lets support each other instead of always working to tear down one another.
This has to be the best interview yet. Other than Boyce Watkins but I relate to this one so much more. thanks y'all for what y'all do and the risk y'all take with letting the truth be unfiltered
how floyd aint a good business man when he been making the most money in boxing for the last 10 years obviously he must be a good business man when he been the highest paid athlete in all sports period for the last 10 years stop hating. most boxers that keep fighting until they 50 need the money so how good of a businessman are you if you have to keep boxing until you 50 plus
Kendrick Moore so you arent allowed to have an adviser or management team to be labeled a buisness man?? as a black people we have to do better without putting the next man down..
Hold on, Now I'm a B-Hop fan but he is being a hypocrite. Floyd owns his companies and partners with Al Haymon. Has Leonard Ellerbe and others handling his business. When you are at the helm of you empire you put people in place to handle those deals. B-hop on the other hand is a pawn in Oscar De La Hoya's game with a smal 5% interest in Golden Boy promotions. So of course YOU got to work for your moolah, you're a shooter; When you at the top you just sit back like the Ruler. (BARS)
Philly's REAL Rocky.
This man needs a statue in the city.
jjayphilly word up💯💯
all due respect to Bhop but Philly's real rocky gotta be smoking Joe Frazier
jjayphilly They'll wait til 10 years after he's dead. Sad.
All due respect to Smokin' Joe where you could make a case. My tiebreaker would be that B-HOP was BORN and raised here. Smokin' Joe is all Philly but he was born in South Carolina and came here as a teen.
jjayphilly yea, but joe frazier learned to box in philly by getting the shit kicked outta him by 2 middleweight brothers. frazier is a classic Philadelphia fighting system boxer.
B Hop look like that uncle that you hoop wit but foul you hard af everytime you go up for a lay up 😂😂
Tavion Kizz W 😂😂😂
Lmao punch you dead in your chest and be like: "Foul!? What foul!? Your generation is so soft!"
Tavion Kizz lmao!! Yep. You sho right.
Tavion Kizz lmao
And he say he's making your tougher.
But low-key he just dont want a younger person beating him. 🤣🤣
You know you talkin to a OG when he keeps touchin you're elbow while he's speaking!!
Rotter Dam on some real shit. hahaha and with the hand shakes they at like 40 hahahaha
Lmfao
You a are a black dude a 100%
😂

CompuBox stats show Hopkins landed 92 jabs to Charlemagne left arm.
rrmond hahaha!
rrmond lmfaooo!
rrmond Funny!!!
Charlemagne wanted to move away.
Compubox number always lies he landed more
When i was 35-0 i went through the same thing Bernard
-Angela Yee
72vince27 😂😂😂😂
72vince27 I almost spit out my juice. That shit was funny af
lmao
😂😂😂🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Bernard is that one good Uncle that everybody needs to have!! That one uncle that always got your back,even when u fucktop again.
first ten minutes it felt like they aint ask him really no questions he just start going in lol I like that
Mookie Woods thats what B Hop always does
Omar Scruggs im not familiar with him other than rappers using him in a rap line but I see why now
Mookie Woods he said "this my house!"
Mookie Woods thats a fighters mentality... go in...
Mookie Woods He always does that.
angela yee- " you know I once watched a boxing match at this juice bar that I started up myself"
James The Dolphin LOL!!
started herself with Dj Envys money
FACTS LOL
James The Dolphin 😂😂 Stupid😂😂
LMAO!!!!!!
I learned so much from this dude growing up. My grandpa was a Pro boxer and inspired me to start fighting. He's truly a legend!
bernard hopkins the kinda guy thats keeps talking after you hang up the phone
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Random Genius Hold this W 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
hahahhaa
Random Genius I've never heard Hopkins described better
Random Genius hahaha
God blessed this guy to be his age, still boxing, and still healthy physically and mentally... b-hop definetly one of the greatest.
God Bless this man. Great rags to riches story.
From prison to 1st ballet boxing Hall of Famer.
NEVER GIVE UP.
Yes sir he is a pure example of never giving up.
B Hop just dropping MAD knowledge, some ppl just can't even grasp it to appreciate
Bernard is too smart for the average person they don't get it. they will catch up eventually.
@@medieval4433 straight up when he talking about the jewish
Bhop a crackhead
Bernard has a lot of personality! I enjoy these kinds of interviews (especially when Yee doesn't have much to say since there's no gossip topics).
Lol
Life Advice : It doesn't matter how much you work out, it's about how much work you put in.
DJBVA08 I don't get it
RCH 32 you could work out a 3 times a day but if you not actually working hard you aren’t gonna have any tangible results
"Niggas don't wanna win. They just wanna look good losing...."
But salute to B Hop...look out for Lil B Hop outta NYC on the Netflix doc Counterpunch
robert latimore great documentary.
I love B-Hop, but he sound like a hater against Floyd during this interview. B-Hop is not in those negotiation rooms with Floyd, thats why he never sees him do deals. I guarantee Floyd arrogant self is not sitting silent on those negotiation deals.
he is, he works with golden boy boxing.golden boy co promoted floyds' fights until 2014
You can say the same for Floyd hating on Andre Ward.
unirave Does't mean hes in those meetings. Not his area otherwise, he wouldve simply said Floyd doesnt negotiate his deals instead of "I never heard or seen Floyd negotiate..." as if hes not there.
This is probably top 5 interview for the breakfast club. I was able to take notes and learn from this and apply it to current situations I'm going through
Bernard Hopkins knows way too many sayings he hasn't memorised properly 😂
😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
It's not that. He has silent senility compounded by his boxing-career, induced trauma. Shhhh!
Bookedonphonicstizzery
old heads always want like 5 hand shakes during a convo
all I can think about is how perfect Jamie Foxx would play him in a movie 😂 mannerisms the same!
SadieTheScienceBeauty I agree
Wow they even dress similar
This man is speaking knowledge and wisdom. I shut my mouth and listen. He’s 52 in this interview and looks like he’s 38. Smh. These are the type of men I look up to. He’s a living legend, a great businessman, and a martial arts genius. I’m all in.
He was dropping some low key gems this whole interview
.
Jason Voorhees y’all can’t get over the way he talks if you listen to the words he’s saying it’s actually good info for fighters who want to become businessmen
I love when people speak both truth AND fact! Respect to Bernard.
Lemme guess Angela yee got a ex that used to box
Cashley Banks she got a friend for every situation 😂. It really be her going through those situations or she makes it up 😂
Cashley Banks Y'all are beyond corny...
Cashley from MD? 👀
Box that lil Hot Box....💯...good observation 🤣
I would love to see Bernard Hopkins graduate from college with a degree in English. But all joking aside, this man really had my respect b/c he is so disciplined and focused.
Jason Voorhees and you’re an internet fan who has nothing better to do than try to diminish people you don’t know. Sucker
Show us your college degree from Harvard, all jokes aside.
One of my favourite boxers of all time. Absolute legend.
I used to detail his and his wife's car.
Wilmington Delaware at Prices Corner car wash one of the most humble individuals I have ever met. He talk to me like he knew me my whole life! a good soul and in my mind the greatest fighter to ever live I salute you brother✊💯🙏
Boxing from the ages 40-52 is unreal.. most underrated feat in sports history.. Bernard Hopkins, legend
I am 41 and I box very well at the lower divisions. They sell us that age thing. All you need is Discipline. I don't do alcohol or cigarettes, no clubbing, no junk food, always working out, no artificial things or anything food in a pack. Though in Africa our food and body make up is different, our water is natural, some of us have amazing genetics. When u see me you would never agree I am up to 40
Philly Legend
I love boxing but what is southpaw?
- Envy
DICKRIDIN HATER he ask dumb questions
It's a different way of fighting. Left hand
Desi Doo 😒
Cookie! Where Ned and Suzie!?
Desi Doo he was making fun of Envy.. but he forgot to put, "for those who don't know explain to people what a {insert simple subject} is"
Bernard hopkins da type of dude to give u a long righteous lecture when u ask him to pass the salt...
The executioner!
Ray Choco the alien
B-Hop with the one-two.
You know he REALLY SPITTING on Charlamagne and Angela Yee...they need to wipe their face...RESPECT to B-HOP
Even Roy Jones was forced to lean back
- Fat Joe
@A Warrior you already checked me tho
One of my favorite! So underrated . Went from boxing in jail to being a world champ 👊🏽
George Foreman is the greatest boxer turned businessman. He has way more businesses besides the grill. People sleep on Foreman
He is one of the best businessmen after boxing. Floyd Mayweather has a lot of business he's involved in that Al Haymon has made sure he will always be a rich man. I appreciate boxers who listen to another savvy business person.
Nigga did a whole interview by himself
i love how he didnt make himself look like a sucker for getting knocked out the ring. he took that one like a man and kept going forward and kept it positive. no rounda rousey shit lol
One of the best Interviews the breakfast club has performed. I watched Hopkins' fights growing up but never knew the extent of his knowledge.
This interview is good. I'm not a big fan of boxing but I still enjoyed
I havent heard charlemagne this quiet since master p checked after he made inappropriate comments about a female P knew
Suga Ray Mercedes had a fat ass pussy😂😂😂😂 That Asian nigga came in had Cthegod on hush mode.
the dmx of boxing.. Mr Bernard Hopkins
the straight edge DMX tbh
Bernard is a PASSIONATE man!!! He speaks with passion and wisdom! You can tell that man is pure motivation and has been through some real shit
B Hop spitting them gems #legendary
Bernard Hopkins can be a great story teller at a bonfire camp ground... he should look into that
Jason Voorhees disrespectful
one of the best interviews I've seen
Bernard is one sportsmen that talks more than the talk show hosts, and all three of them combined!!
appreciate this interview Breakfast Club One Love
Ladies & Gentlemen, The DMX of Boxing
New Word: "You Got To Make Up What You SPUND"! Bernard Hopkins word.
Great guy i met him 15yrs ago at his prime and he was very humble
Marques Labbe best comment on here...
Sometimes u can't get back with the get back to get back what u getting for 😂😂😂
I don’t understand that shit for real
🤔
5:48 - LMFAO
This dude is a character. hahahaha. Would love to hang out with him one day. Dude looks like he's really ethical, though. I respect him for that.
B hop, a legend, but talks in one big run-on sentence. No pauses. Comma after comma...😂
Shayne McC commas are pauses lol
All bulshit it is
Thats wat crackheads do
great interview!
droppin GEMS!
ANGELA YEE DONT HAVE A CLUE SHE AINT SAID ANYTHING.
Low Key this interview was Classic hahahaha

Great interview!!
B hop look like the mma dude dan henderson lol
IAMJUDAH he sho do 😂😂
lmao true. their face and head are very similar.
IAMJUDAH lmao
B Hop put them hands on Trinidad. He had some dirty tactics but he was a helluva boxer.
Jason Stewart Bernard wasn't dirty. He just a true old school Philly fighter. They hard nose fighter
love to hear the og's dropping knowledgeable jewel's for you to carry on to your children.
LIVIN LEGEND, from the streetz to jail to boxing world championships, respect from France!!!
B HOP YOU ARE A FRONT MAN TOO

SELMA LOYALITY IS YOUR MIDDLE NAME YOU'VE BEEN REPRESENTING FOR YEARS

Yeh I noticed that too, I thought that was jus me Canelo started to use Mayweather's fightning style, i definitely saw that
HE PROBABLY WATCHED HIS FIGHT WITH FLOYD A 100 TIMES!
Salutes and much respect my brotha
Gotta love this!!!
cthagod waiting on every interview to quote lines from 48 laws of power!!!

Real OG. Went from being a stick up kid to a millionaire in the corporate world. Respect 👊🏿
Bernard & Hov (and maybe Puffy via his 'Can't Stop, Won't Stop' Apple Music doc) have spit the most game this past week…
#FactsOnly #Facts
benard to charlemagne : you talking that mason stuff now ! .... charlemagne awkward silence ! lol
"Don't always...Never always..." OK, BHop. Bernard's my man, but his problem is he loves to hear himself talk, and he should sit down and listen to himself on tape some time. He's the man, but he's not as smart as he thinks he is. Naazim had one of the best quotes in an interview right after BHOP got KO'd.
#J_B What Quote was that? " That Nergo Went Flyin.."?
Do you have the link for the Naazim interview? Would love to see it
I didn't know he was as informed as he is. a guy from prison most had counted out. a black felon sending his daughter to collages. how can you hate on that. this man knows his boxing. great interview.
The very definition of a man who talked the talk & most definitely walked the walk. The most interesting intelligent inside & out the ring.
Great interview
As a boxing fan I have to say that watching B-Hop still boxing in his 50's is like getting the bike you wanted as a kid at 35.. I'm over it that time has passed.
Time has *what*??
Marine Vet he need to sit his old ass down somewhere
yea but he has retired though.
Marine Vet that was pretty stupid but if you say so....
Marine Vet you never had that fighting fire burn in your soul. Boxing is life, you never lose the itch. We are insane, that's why we fight. U wouldn't understand
Best interview of the year so far. That's a million dollar dude giving somewhat of a guide. But when I think about sports I always think about the invisible man by Ellison .
why so?
HUMBL Ain't in the top ten.
Great interview 💯
Great interview.
Angela Yee: I have a friend that's a boxer...
Man don't hate on Yee, she's the only female interviewing men. She has to add her comments or what is she there for? She's cool, everyone just need to chill. Her background is hip hop so let's just chill.
Dope interview
yessir Philly legend
DIABOLICAL -VO wow
Why do black folks always down talk other black folks. Like Bernard could've said he is a good business man with out down talking Floyd. Part of being a businessman is hiring the right people and outsourcing as many things as possible. Bernard doesn't get that concept. Just do you get your money with out down talking other black men or women.
Zee Aye Floyd deserves to be talked about he's not a real fighter
Trane SFC Floyd is a better boxer than Hopkins ever was. Maybe not in a street fight. But that's besides the point, they discussing business and money here. Hopkins is not worth nearly as much as Floyd because Floyd makes better business decisions. I don't understand what Hopkins gets out of focusing on the only black man making real money in the sport. Lets support each other instead of always working to tear down one another.
Zee Aye Floyd doesn't have skills also boxing is rigged
Trane SFC, According to your definition? Floyd is one of the best boxers ever in the game.
AgentJ2007 by your standards he is
finally uploaded this interview
Amazing interview. I'm a geek & I love you too Bernard. #PHILLY
This guy is a GENUIS
Envy: So you're a boxer, explain to the audience what boxing is
lol the get back to you was fire.
This has to be the best interview yet. Other than Boyce Watkins but I relate to this one so much more. thanks y'all for what y'all do and the risk y'all take with letting the truth be unfiltered
unfortunately, I went thru the ropes... 😂
hahahahahahahahaahaha.
That is unfortunate. hahahaha. I love how he said 'unfortunately'. hahahaah.
He got KNOCKED OUT of the ring with clean shots
Breakfast Club has been getting more than musicians for their interviews lately.... to remind everyone (aka everyday struggle) who the big dogs are.
Who Cares .. Long As The Content Good
I agree^
The could never. Everyday struggle is good, but the b.c. is a radio show. E.S. is a web show about entertainment discussion.
Much love to the brother for holding it down till the end. Big ups BHOP!
I read about him in newspapers years ago never heard him speak before. He made it.
how floyd aint a good business man when he been making the most money in boxing for the last 10 years obviously he must be a good business man when he been the highest paid athlete in all sports period for the last 10 years stop hating. most boxers that keep fighting until they 50 need the money so how good of a businessman are you if you have to keep boxing until you 50 plus
James Stocks
because Al Harmon and Richard Schaeffer are behind Floyd. And it may be hidden hands behind those two too.
James Stocks he said he doesn't do his own deals that's it lol that's all he said
Anthony Carter naw that's not all he said he threw mad shots at floyd
Kendrick Moore so you arent allowed to have an adviser or management team to be labeled a buisness man?? as a black people we have to do better without putting the next man down..
michael McDonald exactly somebody need to tell him that
1) An "L" sandwich. Lol Yee 2:08.
2) 12:56 Best part of the interview.
I love brother Bernard.
This is the BEST INTERVIEW so far..... I love the Geeks!! Bring this Bernard back.
Hold on, Now I'm a B-Hop fan but he is being a hypocrite. Floyd owns his companies and partners with Al Haymon. Has Leonard Ellerbe and others handling his business. When you are at the helm of you empire you put people in place to handle those deals. B-hop on the other hand is a pawn in Oscar De La Hoya's game with a smal 5% interest in Golden Boy promotions. So of course YOU got to work for your moolah, you're a shooter; When you at the top you just sit back like the Ruler. (BARS)
Aubrey Harris fire
Straight bars 🔥🔥🔥
Good point...possibly lost on the unintelligent! Most these dudes don't own shyte. They use them a fronts, and give them a paltry sum/percentage!
Preach!
50 debunked that,50 said he didn't have any promotional company
