If Hopkins were white:
- people like bsrizpac and daggum would be on here making threads to ridicule him and trying to prove his opponents were all bums.
- B-Hop wouldn't have been able to get away with fighting all those smaller men like De La Hoya and all the taxi drivers like Andrew Council, Steve Frank and William Bo James during his time at middleweight.
- Simon Brown would become as famous a name on boxingscene as Tocker Pudwill, even though he didn't have as good of a record. :)
- the Ring writers like Rosenthal and Raskin would be saying Hopkins should never be considered a great fighter, only a good fighter.
- the Bringer, Street Bully, Bhopreign and many others wouldn't have him as their favorite fighter.
You know I am a big fan of Vitalli, Adamek, and Pavlik Tunney. I don't discriminate based on skin color.
Would the way he boxed be seen as cowardly and mostly dirty instead of supreme boxing skills?
Bring on the red K
u are asking if bernard is looked upon more favorably BECUASE he is black?...highly unlikely..
I dont think anyone really calls him cowardly, but if he was white i think he would be much more famous but still called the same things by people like us

But you would. Also, Wlad_Owns would be named Bernard_Owns.

If Bernard Hopkins was white he wouldn't be a boxer. He only got into boxing to change his life after prison. He only went to prison because he was a black guy from the poor side of Philly, thus he started slangin.
If he was white. He wouldn't grow up on the poor side of Philly. Would have stayed in school and never went to prison. Which means he would never have boxed.
White Bernard Hopkins is a Cop not a Boxer.
So white people arent poor and in bad neighborhood's huh? Wow...****ing wow...I love how some people like to assume that all white people have it easy and come from money and just have everything in life given to them. Are you joking or just stunningly ignorant?

Is he seen as cowardly? Ive never heard that. Dirty? Yeah without a doubt. But he is also considered brilliant in the ring.

Another insecure individual bitter about his standing in the world!

you ever been to philly mang?
Your bait is piss poor. I just wanted to add that.
I'm just using bread with a good weight at the moment they don't seem to be biting, gonna go pike fishing tommorrow and probably use a bit of mackerel on the hook.
Can you recommend any bait?
Is it mandatory rules that we have a "If (insert black fighter) was white....?" thread every month or so?
Anyways- if B-Hop was white, it would make it even more strang and hilarious that he said "I'd never lose to a white boy!"
4 real. Dead that shit and take the homo and religion threads wit it.
