    Is Bernard Hopkins a Racist???

    I think Hopkins is clearly a racist, his racist comment towards Calzaghe was inappropriate and uncalled for. If Calzaghe made a racist comment like that about Hopkins he would instantly be villafied by the media and Al Sharpton would show up at Calzaghe's doorstep demanding a public apology.

    I dont think Hopkins is a racist, he's just playing the race card for the PPV sales. He's using that as an angle to generate interest but I don't believe he's a racist at all, I mean he's a business partner with De La Hoya remember!

      Hopkins says too many ****** things to be taken seriously. I wouldnt put too much weight in any one thing he says.

        if you have been a boxing fan at least the last 6 or 7 years, you know bernard, and you know hell do and say anything to get you interested in something, when bernard disrespected the puerto rican flag like he did, he had a whole nation ready to kill him

          there is a big difference between being a racist and trying to get under Calzaghes skin and sell a fight. hes not racist at all.

            I don't think he's a racist, but I think Calzaghe got under Hopkins skin. And thats why he said what he said, it wasn't just for publicity Calzaghe got under Hopkins skin.

                  Most people on this board have been fight fans longer than you and understand the dynamics of what bernard is doing better than you, thus, this is why nobody is really going crazy over whats happening, i know you wanted to just get people to agree with you in this thread, but alot of us have been around the sport and bernard for a very long time, we know better.
