Did I hear right? Hopkins told Kelly he needs to fight more like a black fighter?

LOL.. I cant understand why some ppl think Bhop is a racist person.. Im white and I can careless about those comments.. Bhop is just tellin him to keep his head up, thats all..

I mean he pretty much did everything but KO Pavlik. It was as one-sided as big fights get. Really career ruining when you consider Hopkins was 43 years old and Pavlik is in his prime. If you throw Pavlik in with a prime Hopkins, that fight is over in 5 rounds easy I'm not so sure we've seen a prime Pavlik yet, depends how he rebounds from this one sided whipping. At least he has his two belts as a condolence prize.

Hopkins was also telling pavlik to listen to his corner.

Yeah he did say that. Meaning be boring, hold, dont KO anyone, take it to the cards, JUST TAKE IT SAFE. I mean he pretty much did everything but KO Pavlik. It was as one-sided as big fights get.

after the scores were read and hopkins was declared the winner, he went to kelly pavlik's korner and said he needs to fight like a black fighter be elusive and bend your knees like pop says (jack leouw) Thanks man Anyway does anybody know what fighters said after the bell went in the 12th?

when hopkins does hang em up for good ....HE IS GOING 2 MAKE ONE GOOD ****ING TRAINER

That's really great of B-Hop! As I said before, I really like Pavlik but I couldn;t turn on Hopkins just like that at the end of his career, he's still one of my favourites. BTW when exactly did he say that? after the scores were read and hopkins was declared the winner, he went to kelly pavlik's korner and said he needs to fight like a black fighter be elusive and bend your knees like pop says (jack leouw)

he needs apollo creed to train him like rocky! haha I can see it now Hopkins seeking out a down and out Pavlik and training him back to glory. :lol1:

he needs apollo creed to train him like rocky!

I don't think it should be taken wrong at all. He was trying to keep Pavlik's spirits up, and telling him to keep working hard.

Pavlic needs to throw punches let alone try and fight like a black fighter whatever the fcuk that is..

"Don't let this fight destroy you," Hopkins told him. "You're a great middleweight champion. You have a great heart. Keep your head up. Keep fighting. You have to learn one thing. You have to learn that slickness that black fighters have and then you'll really be a great champion. I don't want you to quit. If I have to go to your house and take you to the gym, I will." how patronising does that sound :lol1: especially "If I have to go to your house and take you to the gym, I wil"

He's a real asshole when he loses but a nice guy when he wins.

Yeah he did say that. Meaning be boring, hold, dont KO anyone, take it to the cards, JUST TAKE IT SAFE. Stop fantasizing you have a Black mans dick & accept yourself for who you are. After you that you will be able to educate yourself on the history of boxing without being so jealous of all the great Black fighters.

Yeah he did say that. Meaning be boring, hold, dont KO anyone, take it to the cards, JUST TAKE IT SAFE. Your bitterness is quite transparent. If you love boxing, you will admit that Bernard Hopkins put on an absolute masterclass. 100% free webcam site! | Awesome chicks and it is absolutely free! | Watch free live sex cam - easy as 1-2-3

I didn't see anything wrong with the comment. It didn't seem like some black fighters are better than white fighters type comment, thats just how Hopkins is. I also thought his whole speech at the end was great, it seemed like a totally different Hopkins then the one that fought Calzaghe.

he wasn't as dirty tho beating pavlik.. he just schooled him plain and simple Yeah true he didnt need to resort to anything like that.

Who wants to hug and headbutt and run thats not being elusive or talented to me...thats just dirty he wasn't as dirty tho beating pavlik.. he just schooled him plain and simple
