The Flag is a symbol of every country, you see people cry when they see their flag in the olimpics, they are proud they represent their country with pride. we admire those that do that, regardless of race, color or religion. but when you pay no respect to a country, that show you that your values are very low. That's what Bernard did in Puerto Rico years back and that is in the mind not only in all puerto Ricans but those who knows that what he did was extremly wrong. because he feel his shame no matter how much he try to hide it, he never rematch trinidad. i never watch a Bernard Hopkins fight and many that i know that are NOT puerto Rican, i do not want to mention the names people call Bernard every time he speaks.
you know in boxing someone can step on the American flag and i dont think anyone would get mad..hell most american fighters dont even come out to that flag like every other foreign fighters(mexicans, puerto ricans) even those who live in america will not root for the home team but their mother country!!
but in poilitics they will
people spit on each other flags all the time you know its funny though when it happened some used all kinds of racist overtones, i always asked myself in laugher did they forget their country has black people lol...
mess like that always crack me up
Hopkins trolled your entire island and walked away with bags full of cash.
I don't know why but this comment has had me on the floor laughing for the last 5 minutes!
Hop sold that fight brilliantly though It has to be said.

except chad dawson lol...whom he b1tched out and faked an injury that everyone in their right mind knows was staged cuz he was gonna get his a55 whooped!
Really? Is that why the California Medical Association said it was legit and it was diagnosed as a separation?
hahahah, internet tough guys calling the great Hopkins a b1tch.....

it was worst then De La Hoya's rolling around actually
Thats one of the reasons I like bhop. I dont always like what he says, but that flag **** served its purpose. Puero Ricans need to lighten up anyway. They are a territory of the US, so they should get used to our flag. Hispanics seem to have this flag hysteria nonsense. They are so lazy they want credit for something they didnt have to earn, their nationality. I guess when you have a job cleaning sh*thouses or mopping, your flag means alot because the rest of your life sucks. Listen, I love our flag, but I dont need to drape it over the hood of my car or anything. Not because I dont love it, but just because I dont need to do that to show that I love it. That and it would make my car look ****ty and mexican.
I see people with U.S. flags on their cars all the time...
Hopkins is a genius when it comes to fights. He clearly got into Tito's head with the flag incident and like always controversy sells.
Tito wanted the rematch for a while and blamed the 911 because the fight was not going to happen and got pushed back. IMO it wouldn't had matter cause Hopkins does his best work with pressure fighters

definitely a redneck...just hang urself bro u sound so racist and its obvious ur life sucks!
Bernard is from the streets of Philly and spent 10 years in the pen. He didn't give a fuk then and doesn't give a fuk now. He "apologized" for PR reasons.
Hopkins isn't scared of anyone.

It did it's job and wound Trinidad up.
It just a flag who cares.
Hopkins tried to wind Calzaghe up with that white boy comment, never came close to succeeding
And no need for a rematch.
Puerto Rico is not even a sovereign country, owned by the US but Puerto Rican's don't get to vote in the US elections.
Whats up with that?
why rematch when hopkins destroyed him? Maybe hopkins should rematch kelly pavlik too while we're at it.
And the flag thing was genius. Every Puerto Rican and their mama ordered the PPV to see Hopkins get his ass kicked...only that didn't happen of course. Hopkins trolled your entire island and walked away with bags full of cash.
Perfect post for this topic
He should apologize for all the head butting instead.
:lol1:
As for the rematch never happening, it was never necessary. Trinidad was a "fight every three years" fighter after Hopkins got done with him so there was no demand for it. There was some talk in 2008 of it maybe happening, but thank god Jones beat Trinidad instead.

You're pretty dispicable.

:lol1::lol1: I feel you!!

I'm Puertorican from PR born raised till my teens I honestly believe it left a dent in our hearts but we forgave B-hop...The reason I say that is because he was not murdered when he flew back plain and simple. Trinidad had a lot to do with the fact that Hopkins apology was accepted.
