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

[LJay]

You wont get many replies KayJay I imagine. As I said in another thread, sever double standards.

Joe's career would be FINISHED if he said 'I'd never lose to a black man'

GOD DAMN RIGHT IT WOULD
DOUBLE STANDARDS > ___
TO HELL WIT CALZAGHE
DON'T EVEN KNO WHAT HOP SAID BUT I SUPPORT HIM 100%

[Knicksman20]

But white people shouldn't stand for it. I won't stand for it.

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".

[kayjay]

Kayjay, it's getting old. You can not be serious.

How can't I be serious? Would you react the same way if Calzaghe said he'd never lose to a n.igger? Do you honestly think that's different?

I'm saying. This is ridiculous.

Don't worry white folks, Calzaghe will beatdown the racist Hopkins, Hopkins just lost a lot of fans, his comments were uncalled for.

Yeah sure but I get villified when I say that. So if you're happy to switch roles in this case, so be it. But now I know a little more about you.

It's different to attack someone personally than it is to attack a whole race.

It worked.

[Azteca]

He's hood. He's got street smarts. The guy went to prison.

This isn't some articulate country boy who golfs twice a week.

This guy beat the **** out of people for a living. And in a sadistic way, probably enjoyed it.

No it's not politically correct, but I guarantee you've probably thought or said the same thing at one point in your life. I guarantee it.

[C'MONMANG']

Tyson once said this...then a white dude knocked him on his ass
Hopkins is a real **** talker...Mayweather plays around, Hopkins can dig under your skin and piss people off

bingo. why would Hopkins say this if he wasnt a little worried about Joe? first a silly purse offer, and insulting one at that. then a comment about NOT LOSING TO A WHITE BOY?? thats just dumb and uncalled for.

[Welter_Skelter]

Ive never understood why what a fighter says bother people not even fighting. Dont you think Hop knows what he is doing. Fighters try to get in another's head because when the other fighter fights mad or with emotion he isnt as tecnical. Hop is very technical, Floyd is very technical, doesnt surprise me these two are always talking smack. When Hop threw down the Puerta Rican flag it was smart, it worked, he pitched a shutout. Not like Hop hates Cal or anything, he doesnt know him. Thats why Floyd gives props to the fighters after the fight, he is just trying to sell fights and get in the other fighter's head, for people to not understand this is ridicolous, how can you be a boxing fan and not know whats going on, I could explain this to my 8 year old son and he would understand.

Could You imgaine Wlad Klitschko saying something like.. " I cant wait to knock out my Next Black man.."

Anybody defending this as mere smack talk.. Is being as racist as the comments they are defending.. there is no defense.. By Black people's very own standards as to what is RACIST.. This comment was vey racist..
You dont have to disagree with Hopkins... But you cant deny..it is what it is..
