The official "I disapprove of Hopkins's comments" thread

[RightHandLead]

Just said? Ok two years ago, but that wasnt cool, he was mad at the decision and thought he should have gotten it. Not cool for him to say what he said at any rate, sounds like a person detached from cancer probably or hasnt had a loved one with it. Not sure how his mom past but very insensitive for him to say such things.

He's a ****, and he's a piece of **** fighter as well. A crook at heart, man.

i always ask myself this.....

Because he has an entertaining style (Not exciting zomg this is awesome), but he's entertaining in his own right. The way he sees everything, counters, ****tates the pace, dominates most of his opponnets, etc.

That and is a pretty cool guy, he just says some negative things sometimes (Cancer thing) but he probably doesn't mean it at all.

it doesn't matter what bernard says because the day he gets in the ring with joe he's going to get fixed right on up by a white boy

It's funny you say the things you are because if Blacks say what you're complaining about they would get accused of complaining over nothing or playing the race card or being sensitive. But when the shoes on the other foot it's totally different as I can see. In your words that I've seen on this forum many times before; "get over it".

co-sign. He got ya there Kayjay and whoever comes in here thats white thats complaining. If they said black ppl are always complaining and playing the race card.

So...let me just make sure I have the rules down here:

1. It's ok to use racism if you are promoting a sporting event

2. It's ok for one race to use obvious racial slurs and insults, but not the other

3. If a black person (sports figure or comedian) make racial comments it's ok and while people should "get over it & stop being babies" but if a white person makes racial comments Jessie Jackson and Sharpton try to end their careers. Black people are funny and edgy when they are racist, white people are just racist when they are racist.


4. It's ok for this to be the case because the previous history of a particular ethnicity is full of trials and tribulations, therefore making it ok to have a double standard IN THE PRESENT.

Got it.

So he was mad because he lost his title. He was just being sore.

I mean no one gets made because tyson says "I'll **** you till you love me ***got!"
Because they know its promotion, in this case it's to get calzaghe to sign to fight him. The cancer thing was out of line, but he was just being sore for losing his title.

No One got mad???? Mike Tyson is the single biggest factor in Boxing's fall from a mainstream sport...

The man single handedly destroyed Boxing's Public image...

[bdevils]

Yeah he said he would never lose to a white man

He really said that ****? If so **** that racist bastard.

[GunStar]

Another 26 pages of garbage race thread in Boxingscene.

If Calzaghe said he will not lose to a black man then it would not be a big deal, some of you are putting the N world instead of black, of couse Calzaghe will get bashed if he says he will never lose to a ******.

Know the difference between the word black and ****** dumbasses.

As for Bitchnard, I think he knows this the only way he can sell this fight, knowing very well that Calzaghe/Kessler fight was the lowest ratings in HBO history.
