The TRUTH comes out....

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

A fight nearly broke out between Bernard Hopkins and Joe Calzaghe today during their first face-to-face meeting at the MGM Grand Media Center in Las Vegas. "I would never let a white boy beat me," Hopkins told reporters. "You can print that. I would never lose to a white person."

WOW, I wonder if Calzaghe said he would "never lose to a black boy," would that be a problem for Bernard??

You and I both know that would be an instant public relations disaster for Joe. Bernard can get away with those kinds of statements. A white guy cannot afford to be racial at all.....at all.

I wonder if Calzaghe said he would "never lose to a black boy," would that be a problem for Bernard?? I would have to assume turning his fight with Calzaghe into a race war is not the way to go. I am surprised and extremely disappointed, shocked, really, that Hopkins would resort to this. That kind of takes away a little bit of the respect I had for him ("fighting scared" against Taylor didnt help, either). By the way, Will Jesse and Al condemn him for this?

Just another example of the double standard everyone in this country has to deal with.

And of course by that I mean some people exploit it, and others deal with, avoid, tiptoe around, and flee from it.

I seriously doubt his statements will generate anything but passing notice. It's an accepted double standard, but in the end it's just Hopkins that looks ignorant. He's done himself a disservice, but it won't end up being any big deal with the media. I bet I'm right about this.

It would be a problem for ME. Because it wouldn't be true. Roy would have destroyed Joe.
