    If Calzaghe said the same about him, only "black" what would you say then?

    It's the double standard that I don't like.

        Yes he should have. Just cos Ali was a good boxer doesn't put him above moral law you thick twat.

          There is absolutely a double standard. I do not argue that for a second. Is that fair? No. My point is... BIG ****IN DEAL. I'm not going to mock indignation. I like when fighters talk ****. I think we all, black and white, have to stop being so sensitive. We all live together. Let's move on.

              No, nor would I see it any different had Calzaghe called him a black boy, Oscar a ****** or Naseem Hammed a curry smelling Arab. It’s all pantomime and it sells.

                Thick twat? What the hell? You British have absolutely no class. It's not America's fault your country has rallen to the depths of irrelevancy.

                  Did you mean "fallen", or is "rallen" a word I have never heard of before? And pray tell why my country has fallen into "irrelevancy", or was that just a random comment with no thought behind it?

                    Not really. Hop is cool. I'm only worried about any blacks out there who said to themselves, "yeah he'd never lose to a whiteboy." Hop is cool, but c'mon in terms of boxing skill he's never been in Calz's league. We have here a fight in which he's a heavy betting underdog, despite his higher p4p ranking (proof there that the rankings are biased tyowards Americans). Even the black posters hesitant to pick a white European are all saying Hop has little chance. I don't worry about what Hop says. But if you're picking him to win, you need to ask yourself some questions. Granted, some can fairly pick the underdog based solely on boxing considerations. But if you're picking Hop, ask yourself a second time why. Just in case.
