Joe's all white on the night

[Unanimous]

I think Joe should wear all white the night of the fight. White gloves, white pants, and white shoes with white sox and laces. That way he can tell hopkins that he was beat by a truly white boy.

Sorry, don't agree. He doesn't need to sink to his level. All he needs to do is beat him.

[TheGreatA]

Joe should come out wearing black and white like he always does, fight for every minute of every round like he always does and win like he always does.

Too many people focus on HISTORY rather than the PRESENT.
Too many Ethnic Groups INCLUDING WHITES dwell on HISTORY.
What these Groups FAIL to REALISE is when they DIE NOBODY WILL GIVE A ****.
All the people they worried about when they were alive will be dead when they are...... therefore making any grievance null & void.
Those people who dwell on a life they NEVER experienced are just angry at their OWN ****TY LIFE and need to find someone or something to blame.
People should judge all men equal.
Until they prove themselves to be ****s.
No matter what colour.
Unfortunately there are too many Sheep in the world.
Suckers.

Hopkins will Win. He will pose many problems like Calzaghze-Bika. Bika's style was all wrong for Joe. Joe almost lost.He was very frustrated all night. He complained after the fight about bika being too wild and taking him off his game. Imagine what Hopkins will do?

The comment made me feel bad for Popkins honestly. It proved to me how much of an unsportsmanlike person he is.
You must be a real stiff ***** to let that comment get to you.
Anything Popkins says, I don't take it seriously, in fact he made the fight more interesting.
I'm calling like 15 friends in my crib, telling them there's a good fight because of a racist remark and so on. As soon as I told them they were willing to come, instantly.
Unless you're Al Sharpton or a political figure that stands against racism you shouldn't worry about it, you're just pissing in the wind for no reason.
This is no rocket science. Yes this involves racism but there's no need to start with the "black people have it worse in schools" and annoying **** like that.
It's so pathetic.

[Nate126]

boo hoo , he called youa white boy. He didnt say i'm going to lynch you, get over it Calzaghe.

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

No, it exactly the same thing. Racism is racism, no matter who it's from or who it's directed against.

Actually, "racism" isn't present in what B-Hop said. You can call him a "bogot" but not a racist. Very few people can actually be called a racist in the true meaning of the word.

In order to be a racist, you have to weild some sort of power against a group you are trying to oppress. Just calling someone a "******" or "****" isn't being a racist, it's just being a bigot.

Now if you refuse to hire people because they are black, or pass over opportunities to people based on their race, then , YES you are being a racist.

What B-hop said was just a reflexion of the way he was raised and the way we talk in America. Most outsiders don't understand it and I'm not saying it's right, it's just the way it is. White's in America refer to blacks as "******'s" and blacks refer to white's as "cracker's". It's very bogot and ignorant but it's the way we live over here unfortuantly.

The term "white boy" is a reflexion of where B-Hop comes from and Philly is a very "black" city and that type of talk goes on in every major city. It's like when I was locked up, blacks used to call me "chico", they would call every hispanic a chico and I never took offense to that.

It has nothing to do with Hopkins calling Joe a name. He could have called him anything he wanted and it wouldn't have bothered me in the slightest. But what he said is that no white person on this earth is capable of beating him, past, present or future. That he is a member of the vastly superior black race and no white man could ever stand a chance against him, even at 43 years old.

[TheGreatA]

No, Hopkins simply said that a white boy won't beat him.

The comment was made to infuriate 'white' people so they would pay to see the 'good guy' Calzaghe beat the 'bad guy' Hopkins. Calzaghe knows this and he plays along with it.

[typeone]

Look there is only one way really to look at it Hops should have known better than to come out with a crap comment like that!!! What was going through his mind I never know! Hes a bit of a disgrace to the normal black race and other boxers, Let him crack on...As I have said before act like a twat get treated like one.
