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

[Steak]

stop being such babies. Calzaghe will probebly beat him up anyway.

I actually laughed out loud when thats what I found out he said

[kayjay]

Hopkins comments were uncalled for...but trust me they WILL SELL THE FIGHT.

Hopkins is smart...but in a sick way.

So you would be fine with Joe selling the fight by calling Hop a n.igger?

How is Hopkins racist when he is rooting for Hatton? Don't be blinded, he just doesn't like Slapzaghe, and that's why he punked him like his broad.

He highlighted a difference between black and white people. That doesn't annoy me as much as the double standards. You would not let Calzaghe get away with saying something similar. I know for a fact

Its boxing girls not a knitting contest. I cant beleive those who think the most violent of sports that there isnt gonna be psychological warfare being played out. We all know its pretend in wrestling but when a fighter, most of the time Floyd, does this the unlearned wanna act like this is something new. My gosh this is how they suck you in to buying the PPV, not to mention of course Hop is trying to get inside his head, he has done it to every fighter but now someone has a problem with it? LOL, Calzaghe didnt complain so why is anyone else.

I am not buying any PPV including Bernard Hopkins.

[ThaHorseman]

Nard has been saying some really ****** **** since he got with GBP. This **** tops it off. I have mad respect for him as a fighter, but I really hope Calz puts it to him.

[Allucard]

I have a big problem with those of you who do not sign this.

Signed. I'm a proud black man and i sign it.

[starjammer]

Same **** I expected. If there's a racist comment towards white people, its 'LOL this is boxing people!'

Other way around, lets lynch the ****er.

This thread is for people who DO NOT condone racism in sports

You are certainly not included in that

Honestly, even though I consider you to harbor a bit of deep seeded, if not overt racist tendencies, I didn't know Hopkins said that. I didn't hear it and am just now getting around to reading the comments in this thread, wondering why people were so angry. I definitely do not condone what it is reported that he said... I truthfully did not hear it and thought people were responding to the confrontation.
