That prime Roy swagga was something else.

"I think I should be number one" "well damn it we gonna fight!" God damn Roy and Hop talking fight with out any animosity true pros.

I love Roy, he’s the one who sparked my interest in boxing. But I respect Hopkins’ accomplishments and his career. His longevity made him legendary.

That's timeless man......can't watch this Enough.

As talented and gifted as Roy is, I'm more of a fan of Bernard Hopkins. Coming thru Philly and prison, to become an All Time great makes me mire proud of him. Also Hopkins turned out to be a wonderful big bro and a role model. I hope and or at both greats live long and give back. They both have so much to give, in so many facets of life.

ROY in his prime was unbeatable

Two of the greatest! Brilliant fighters in their own styles. RJ was great to watch while BHop’s style, discipline and determination was simply admirable. BHop winning the second fight again proves the old adage the hard-work and discipline will outlast talent.

Roy Jones JR in his prime was unstoppable. They should've fought each other more than what they did, their egos just didn't make that happen.

Roy jones jr from 1992 to 2003 was the best boxer and would’ve beat anybody below heavyweight including the great hopkins

Man I wish I had a time machine. I miss these days

I remember watching this live... just as funny now as it was then

i agree. nobody beats prime roy. But hopkins is a hell of a fighter, one of the greatest ever

OMG Roy Jones is soooo funny Lmao

Absolutely love this. Two of the greatest just having fun. You can see the respect they have for each other, irrespective of the rivalry. simply brilliant.

Man I remember this like it was yesterday. Where the hell does the time go.

Them 2 had great chemistry! hahaha

Great interview. Fantastic fighters and thorough professionals

holy shit what a GREAT UPLOAD!!!! these cats are my two most fav fighters of all TIME!!!....thanks for share man.

Awesome Interview!! From two Hall of Famers!!

this is classic. thanks for posting

The good days...

Much respect to both fighters. Roy’s instincts is beyond this world. A prime Roy Jones Jr was a highlight reel. Bernard’s style is what kept him fighting at this high level till his late 40s. This is amazing. And the respect they both have for one another. Very awesome to see. Like they both said. “Too many friends in boxing”.

Lol, I have never seen this until now. I love the ending between these two🤤😂🤣

Roy Jones Jr: “D***** I want my title back" Hahaha 😂 the great days.

2 legends 👊🏽

prime roy beats every body. b hop is a freak of nature to fight as long as he is at such a high level. but he is not better than roy jones jr. he just out lasted him. roy jumped up and down too many times and it wore his body out. hes still the p4p great. he just needs to learn when to hang em up. and that was nearly a decade ago...

damn B HOP reminds me of THE GAME

How respectful was Roy and Bernard to each other

Two legends

Think its only fair to Bernard that we acknowkedge his dedication n consistency as talent 2. Hes a truly incredible professional athlete, a unique 1 off n fueled by extraordinary drive. He'l definately deserve his high ranking wen alls one.1 thing is he didnt hav the gr8 fighters in his weight class, so may nt b rated as high as sugar ray/ monzon but hes done it at super middle n lighth heavyweight. Pure athletically gifted wise,Roy was the most astonishing boxer ive seen. Just on a dif planet.

I love this

Roy keep looking at the camera subtle, funny. Him and Bernard two different men but both have their own personality in and out of the ring. Boxing should always have a little something like that with the styles make fights thing always has always will. That’s what really fills the seats.

Funny how Trinidad was knocking out all these guys bigger than him, then he fights hopkins and people say Bernard was too big for him. Bullshit! He just ran into a bonafide champion.

Good old days.

Fricken James Brown, stirring the pot. Some classic stuff

"I don't want to be 2nd" lol that's good shit!

Well damn it we gown fight i love it the days where fighters weren't scared of fighting each other

and a decade later b-hop is still a champ

Class act gentlemen!

They waited too late for the rematch. It would've been huge. They were both past their primes when it happened.

The good old days when superstars really entertained in and out of the ring and left legacies. These guys fighting nowadays aren’t even mega stars or crossover household names, but want to act like they can demand things before they have any real signature fights. The only thing they can do is entertain in the ring and they’re not even doing that. Long live the real Kings of boxing like Roy Jones Jr and Bernard Hopkins!!!

Roy comin' with that ultra alpha omega country boy accent.

Was that Joe Calzaghe at 5:11 standing up and looking around right behind Roy and Bernard?

He offered Bernard $6 million to fight in 2002 which was at time a career high pay day for Benard and he turned it down. Not Roy's fault. After that the only think left for Roy to do was go up to heavyweight.

the best!

True respect 👏

Got damn..the comparison between this Barnard and the present Bernard in interviews is night and day 😔

Interesting comments... Both are Hall of Famers But...If you look who is better of them...Then Roy Jones is better! Roy was defenetly one of the best ever.

Classic!

Who’s here because they said they might fight again?

Hopkins is so easy to listen to. Very intelligent

this is so cool when did they go wrong?

Lol love this

it was hopkins to. at 1st he wanted a 70/30 spilt (and thena 60/40). don;t forget this was before jone had been up to hw so he was still primed

Roy Jones #1. Bernard Hopkins #2. ALWAYS.

Tbf in their 1st fight, Roy won the first fight by 8 rounds and he won that with one hand.

Roys the more talented but hopkins will be rated higher in history tho.

it's really cool to see them like that, they respect each other !!! but i had to hoose a winner at this time, for sure, i'd go with roy jones even if i like bernard too !!!!

Young Roy was a monster. and no one could beat him. His ego got the best of him, and caused his demise. If he would not have given in to tarver mind games, and let his body recover after that first tarver fight, he would have never went down so bad. He should have took tune up matches unill his body redeveloped

If only a fight between a prime Hopkins and Jones jr. had been as easy to make as it seemed here.

Competitive without being adversarial nor disrespectful. Other athletes should take note.

Class

haha that was great!!!

Crazy we were coming out the 2nd Greatest HW Era With Tyson Lewis Holyfield Bowe Foreman and The smaller guys was Became Cash Cows Roy Hop Trinadad DeLaHoya Mosley and Floyd

Roy ♥

2 greats having fun and notice how they both agreed to fight like men. None of this diva stuff using every excuse in the book to keep you away from fighting 50/50 fights. They wanted to determine "Who's the best." They don't make'm like this anymore. #GoodOlDays 💯🤝🏿👊🏾💥🥊

Jones would have OWNED him then.........he beat him 8-4 the first fight with 1 hand, would have been a similar type fight........before Jones had chin problems...........too bad Hopkins wouldn't agree to the weight and the split. Guarantee he regretted it after it was too late when Jones lost to Tarver and Hopkins to Taylor........but I'm sure Tarver was a nice consolation prize...........but not the $$ they could have made at 168......too bad.

@ilovefrankandbeans haha completely agree.... two hall of fame fighters there!!!

Real gentleman shit!

I honestly think they both would because Roy went up to Heavyweight and became champ.

Your guys can bicker all you want but both guys are concrete legends, roy could lose 10 times from now and that wouldnt damage his rep. hes already spent 10 years being p4p kingpin, and mayweather took the throne right afterwards, hopkins has spent most of his career chasing number 1 which was whom roy jones...but hopkins does get credit for his longevity in the sport...keep in mind that foreman fought in 2 different generations, but that doesnt make his career better than alis

It's sad we didn't see the rematch so much earlier, boxing promoters and politics have ruined boxing and the primes of boxers. We should have seen Roy, Hopkins, Toney, Eubank, Benn, Calzague etc all fighting each other. It's become more open now but the talent isn't quite there. We see Canelo running through the Middle and Super Middles, but if he was around then, i doubt if he could.

PENSACOLA, FLORIDA IN THE HOUSE BABY....

Back when JBs hair was real

@Ryang43 Roy never took steroids. James Toney took steroids after the Evander Holyfield fight.

why couldn't they fight around this time?

@Flashboogie14 Hopkins for me is a equal to jones in legacy because he beat names but also guys that on paper he should have lost to like: Taylor (I think he won), Pavlik, Tarver, Winky Wright, Calzaghe (I think he won, a draw at worst), Pascal twice. Although at there peak I still go with Jones as a favourite because of he beat Toney and Bhop and made everything else he did look so easy.

Classic

You can tell they’re actually good friends.

Man the good ol days compare this to the BS of today. No ducking and diving no BS promoters sticking their nose where it doesnr belong

what happen to this in boxing????

LEGENDS!! 4EVA!!

Ali Hagler Hopkins my Inspirations

When boxing was great

When Hopkins was normal

They don’t make them like that anymore

Tito Destroyed Joppy👊

To be fair, it was RJJ's fault the rematch didn't happen. Either way, Hopkins got his revenge.

had they fought at this time, roy would have won easily

5:27 😆😆😆

If it wasn't for JB in the way. B-Hop and RJ was about to get undressed and fight. James Brown stick to singing/dancing. ☺

I'm old. I remember trinidad killing Joppy n me n my pr community were going nuts for tito they cus he's pr me cus what joppy did to duran

totally agree. both need to retire ( i thought hopkins looked awful his last 2 fights), both HoF's imo

trinidad beat the living shit out that dude.

wait, what? "same athleticsm"? no, thats not true, roy was far superior. far far superior. everything else i agree on

Back before Floyd ruined the Sport and then Canelo

Lol

its false respect .. im pretty sure they hate each other b/c hopkings is a cheater cheapshot ass and roy jones is a real champion thats called Professionalism not respect

roy imo would have beaten hopkins anytime until he came back down from HW. would have tighter than the 1st fight but then again jones woul dhave had 2 hands. any time after HW tho and hopkins would win

😂😂😂😂😂😂
