Yes, it's true that there is a double standard, however Hopkins isn't responsible for that.
Regardless, lets be real - Hopkins was trying to get under Joe's skin, he wants to fight him, and because of that it's likely going to happen.
Like I said in the other thread, Hopkins gave rice and beans to Trinidad and stomped on the Puerto Rican flag. Double standard? Yeah, probably but what was the end result? Every Puerto Rican across the globe ordering the PPV!!Comment

He's responsible for taking advanatage of it, though, and that's really wrong. Alienating an entire race of people to seel one of your fights? Like I say, imagine if Steve Largent ever said no black DB could ever cover me consistently? There would be pickets of the Seahawk training camp, etc etc. Plenty of Al and Jesse's would be out in force. I am surprised this came from Hops... I guess his true colors are out for all to see because I do not believe for one second that he said this just to sell the fight. The fight will get made regardless. And guess what, he certainly didnt do his own race any favors with that statement.Yes, it's true that there is a double standard, however Hopkins isn't responsible for that.

Clazghe doesnt have the ballz to say that..Bernard would punched him the face asap.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??Comment
