Discreditingfighters like Bhop record but Praising Joe C not think by doing that all they are really doing is bring down there on fighter.
And as soon as some american poster says something about Joe C Hatton etc they cry about and make a thread bash the US then they call us babies when we try to defend our fighter .
And what up with all this hate towards fights base on the color of his skin.
Just asking?
some of them do but just wait you see others doing it to i think its just sad
True, i ain't tarning all the floyd fans with the same brush its just what ive seen so far since ive been on here.
The only people i see using colour as an issue are the Floyd fans
I ain't been on this site long so but its mainly those set of fans from what ive observed.

I hear what you're saying and it happens a lot with some Calzaghe fans that criticize Bhop.
For one, they don't realize critizing bhop and saying he really wasn't that good in the first place or whatever only makes Calzaghe look bad, because after all, he got a split decision in a very close fight and got dropped by a 43 year old version of bhop.
Second, Calzaghe and Bhop (love 'em or hate 'em) are similar in many ways. Their resumes are similar in that they both were champions for 10+ years and had 20+ title defenses and unified the belts. Hopkins has the bigger names on his resume, there is no disputing that. Calzaghe undefeated. You point and criticize bhop's resume, you're a hypocrite. And vise versa.
Third, to critisize bhop for wins over "smaller men" i.e trinidad and odh, is stupid for many reasons. For one, Trinidad/ODH were threats and challenged bhop and/or had titles. Two, do you honestly believe for a second that Calzaghe wouldn't jump on the oppurtinity to get paid more money then he ever has in his career to fight a "smaller man" like ODH? haha, he fought Peter Manfredo Jr. for money/exposure for crying out loud. Calzaghe can only hope he gets a huge payday like that before he retires (I mean that's what he's doing right now, going after big pay days, 40 year old Roy Jones jr and uh, the "smaller man" Kelly Pavlik).
Regardless though, both men should be respected for what they've done inside and outside of the ring despite whether or not you like the guy or not.
And like it or not, because they fought, their two names will forever be linked to eachother. So if you're a fan of one over the other, it serves no purpose to downplay the other mans legacy.
I can agree with that almost completely.

yea thanks man thats what i was tring to get at green k for you
So people that don't like Hopkins and his dirty, cowardly style of fighting, and don't agree with his status as "legend" based on two wins over fighters at their best two or more weight classes lower, are racist? F%$k outta here.
none man i think he saying why discredit someone your fighter just beat by call him a bum then praising your fighter for beat him.
MOst of the comments about Hopkins were made leading up to the Hopkins-Calzaghe fight in which Hopkins was routinely described as "a legend" and "an all time great" while Calzaghe was derided as a "protected euro" who "never fought nobody (sic)". The irony is of course that noth guys had a remarkable similar career ark so we're in a goose/gander situaion.
