I had lunch with Joe Smith jr today at splish splash water park...
It was pretty cool chatting with him, he is such a super nice guy.. We talked about the barerra fight which was probably the most interesring topic to me, the hopkins fight, fonfara fight, bivol vs barerra fight, russell fight and last but not least, whats up next for him...
I wish he had so many more fans, he really is such a down to earth really super cool person.
I had to share it with all of you because i dont think anyone else would actually gaf lol.
thats why i said we got our wires crossed.. i thought u meant that he never called joe smith a common man which is why i posted that link..
Cool story. Joe is a likeable guy.
Interesting about jacobs.
OK...I don't doubt you. Just was a bit confusing because you did say...

We have our wires crossed.. reread my original post.. I asked joe if that comment hopkins made about never losing to a white boy bothered him.. thats all, i never said hopkins made that comment to joe smith... i know he said it to calzaghe but i figured it would also get joe fired up and would be in the back of his mind being joe is white as well..
As i said it didnt bother him at all but what did really bother him was when hopkins went on his “common” man rant at the presser.
You dont have to believe me, im cool with that.

but your wrong in saying he didnt say it to joe smith jr. He 100% most certainly did!
No "white boy" comment there :dunno:

Awesome, Bazooka Joe is an exciting fighter who's a warrior!
No doubt in my mind he would've beaten Sullivan if he never had a broke jaw, you can tell something was off with Joe, he was fighting way too pedestrian for it to not be suspected him being injured!
I think he should hold out from a Kov fight till late next year, he just came back from a broken jaw that's been broken before!
I saw that to. I'm not saying he didn't meet with Joe Smith Jr. I've met some famous people and things like that happen sometimes and I know a lot of people won't believe you when it does. I just was questioning that one point.
Me too. I’ve hung with Floyd, Suga Shane, the Garcia’s to name a few
They have like 4 vid with Joe Smith and they all start the same with bhop telling calz haha

I already posted a link but here's another on from Wikipedia...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Hopkins_vs._Joe_Calzaghe
On December 7, 2007, Hopkins and Calzaghe met face to face in the media room set up for the Floyd Mayweather, Jr. vs. Ricky Hatton fight. Hopkins and Calzaghe began shouting insults and taunting each other, with Hopkins shouting, "You're not even in my league! I would never let a white boy beat me. I would never lose to a white boy. I couldn't go back to the projects if I let a white boy beat me." Hopkins would later explain his comments, saying that it was not meant to be taken as a racial slur or a reflection of his feelings on white fighters, but simply said to create some hype for his fight with Calzaghe.
Saying it to Joe Calzaghe. Link it up where he said it to Joe Smith Jr.

He said he said he called him a “common man.”
Jeez man why would he make this **** up?
Sounds like it was a cool convo
And he also said...
i kind of figured that it got under joes skin when hopkins said he would never lose to a white boy but to my surprise that had no effect on him at all
I'm not saying he didn't meet and speak with him...I'm just wondering where he got that from.
