I would watch a Joseph Vincent video on the treadmill for an hour. This guy has effected my development as an adult. I officially had my first amateur fight at 28 and won by unanimous decision after I rocked him twice with two eight counts. Thank you Joseph Vincent. I would love to have a conversation with you at some point.

@@erikmendez8798 That is correct on the paper. But I choose to take into the account that before that Hopkins proved to be THE best mniddleweight champion and that the other champions ran from him to unify. Hopkins was like few men so obsessed with becoming the undisputed and had motivations far larger then the other title belt holders from WBC, WBA and even WBO included. Not until that Middleweight tournament arranged by Don King and HBO, BUT Hopkins was forced to sign contract with King for a while in order to get that and by then many believed he was old and ready to be taken....and they would all be wrong. happend he got his chanse

What's impressive about him is the late start. Then becoming better than those born in the sport.

These Documentaries you Do are Top notch Boss. I appreciate the fact that you showed the robberies he had with the Taylor fights and the first Pascal fight but you also showed how he bounced back with getting Straps at 48 years of age.

One of the best inside fighters of all time. They way he can generate power from short distance is legendary

Excellent boxing technique, discipline, god-given athleticism, ruthless aggression, bad intentions, a razor-sharp mind, and an unbeatable spirit is a helluva combination. Bernard had all these. Truly a remarkable fighter who doesnt get talked about enough. Criminally underrated (No Pun Intended)

Goosebumps. Legendary. Immortal.

The first fighter I look for in any boxing game. B-Hop & Joe Vincent 2 legends

Wow! I never really knew much about B Hop. This video was an excellent documentary. Total legend

One of the toughest guys I’ve ever seen. Definitely an all time great people don’t mention much. It’s hard to find 10 better .

I like how you’re helping to keep boxing history relevant with these videos. Make one about Mike McCallum “The Body Snatcher”

I feel like at this point, we should be paying for these films! These should be shown as a mandatory part of a schools curriculum for sports history. Fantastic job Mr. Vincent!

I consider myself lucky to have watched so many greats in what could be considered boxing's golden era between 80s and 90s. Bernard Hopkins was without a doubt one of the best to ever do it and an example of what a determined and disciplined man can accomplish with hard work and dedication.

I asked for a B-Hop doc awhile back glad its finally here

Imagine having all of these masterclass documentaries as a Blu-ray collection at home..

It's Saturday night I've had a couple beers and a few hits and I found this video!? Hell yes thank you very much my man! Amazing work!

👏👏 👏 This is what you call a "This is your life" Bernard Hopkins boxing special!!! Loved every minute of it.

Another classic Joe! Thanks a bunch for doing what you do!

so sweetly done always so emotionly and greatly done, thank you so much JV

Bernard Hopkins. He was special. One of my favorite of all time. Remember he started boxing late also

Simply, thanks! Love your work

Great documentary, as always. This channel really deserves more recognition.

These documentaries are not just the best sport docs, but some of the best stories told on youtube! Great job. I love the Gatti vs Ward trilogy doc but i would love to see one on specifically Arturo "Thunder" Gatti.

What a great documentary. I love the commentary, the vintage videos and the original music you put into these classics. I must have watched your boxing docs 10-15 times a piece. Really impressive Joe. And it's always..... PERFECT TIMING!!!

Thank you for covering home loved watching him fight growing up

Hes my favorite fighter the man is a legit a legend. He took all his pain and struggles and instead of playing the victim card. Instead of taking easy way out He grinded until he became a success and a champion ppl should look at his story and realize with effort and determination comes success.

Great work man thanks

@josephvincent Thankyou so much for the amazing documentaries you put together-top drawer every time. I don't know if there's enough Footage but Sam Langford is well worth a film, amazing story(Started lightweight and went all the way up to heavy and was that good that Johnson & Dempsy both ducked him) best ever fighter to not win a belt. Also 1st ever black champion Jack Johnsons story is well worth sharing Thanks again for the great films
