Never Let A White Boy Beat Me

it was all hype. just to boost sales for the calzaghe fight he woulda been in troubloe if he genuinly said it on public tv

hopkins was selling the fight, and he did worse to tito. i agree with you on double standard thou.

abadger is right. You can't simply pretend that we live in a world free of racism where all comments hold the same weight. You have to take into considering racism blacks have faced, both past and present, to understand why "white boy" and "black boy" are different. I don't think anyone is saying the "white boy" comment is OK, but in my opinion it's nothing worth getting upset over because there is power backing such a comment. It's the difference between being hit with a wiffleball bat and a wooden bat. The intentions of trying to hurt some is wrong but the pain felt is much different.

He backed up the Tito insult.....

Unfortunately like most of the crap that comes out of Bernard Hopkins mouth he can't back it up in the ring. It's all just hot air and the white boy comment is no different.

Wow. A childish statement that was perfect for striking a nerve, and was meant with the hopes of doing nothing but that: Ended up a quote that set off some sort of neo civil war. I'm going to end with one thing. If you're a White person, and you were offended by what Hopkins said: You're a stupid fucking worthless moron. It has nothing to do with race. It's fight promotion. honestly, you are quoting the wrong man, what abadger is saying goes along with what you were talking about, he agrees with you.

Erm. Are you agreeing with me or slating me?

I said how come if a white boxer said " i will never let a black guy beat me " there would be allegations of the white boxer being racist and in the kkk.

good post, But at the same time it dont make it right. I could'nt give a shit what any race called me regarding my skin colour, so why do they cry like babies when anything is said about them. The racism card gets pulled out far to quickly these days, and floyd mayweather is a perfect example. HBO racist because theres other great boxers taking over his p4p place. He needs to grab his sack.

In the absence of years of oppression by black people over white phrases like 'white boy' aren't anyway near as significant or insulting as their black equivalents. It became taboo to be racist because of the hideous history involved, but our ever expanding drive for equality has turned many people, white and black into whining children. "If they get to be offended, I do too." Wow.

It's called shock value promotion you jackass. Continuously harping on a fighter................. for making racist statements in the hopes of selling a fight, only reinforces the idea that you're captivated. Accompanied by the "I can't wait for Calslappy to own Hopkins". Then Hopkins gets paid the big bucks for another boring going away fight.
