    You can't possibly know what percentage of the British crowd that night booed but even if we presume that it was 100% of them it does not say anything about me. It would be a bit like me asking what your war-mongering President says about you.
    No, it wouldn't.
    I didn't vote for Bush, TWICE. My political views on the war in Iraq, I'll keep them close to the vest.
    I can't possibly know what percentage of Brits booed. Your right. But I know that the whole lot walked out with tears in their eyes, and a hangover after Hatton got dropped. And if wasn't 100%, then it was as close as you could get.
    It's whatever. Me being a white male, was not offended by what Hopkins said.

      wether it was 100% or not does'nt mean that u can stereotype about British people in general there happened to be millions of British people not present at the fight

        You are wrong again. Several of the Brits in attendance were representing media outlets so you can guarantee that none of them were booing. You can also guarantee that the British celebrities, of which there was a sizable number, were not booing either. You can also take it as a given that none of these people woke up the next day with massive hangovers.

        You didn't vote for Bush and I didn't boo your anthem hence it would be ridiculous to judge you on the misdemeanors of your leader as it would be to judge me on the behaviour of an intoxicated gathering of Brits at a boxing match.

          You'll have to invite some of these American guys over to an Old Firm match, if they want to hear proper jeering of their opponents!!!!!!

            Haha! If this is how they react to booing a song an Old Firm game might just be the straw that breaks the camel's back for a few of them.

                its like this Hopkins says he will never lose to a white man it is passed off as him hyping the fight selling the fight etc

                Calzaghe says he will never lose to a black man & all of sudden he is public enemy number 1 & his face is on every newspaper in the world ,wether he is selling the fight or not Zag pays a huge price

                the comment does'nt bother me personally ,what does bother me is the hypocricy if the situation was reversed

                  Hopkins is racist scum. I sincerely hope Joe puts him in hospital with permanent brain damage, so he needs feeding, washing, and his arse wiped for him til he dies a slow, undignified death in his own piss-stained nappies. I mean every word I just said, I hate that ****.
                  wow, so you would basically be happy seeing Hopkins lynched for talking bad about white people. Perhaps you would be better suited living in America during the 1800's.

                  Pot, meet kettle.

                    ...Yeah, I think that's already been determined in B-Hop's fights.
