Hopkins will lose to a white boy.

[fabianc]

It is what it is...Always the double-standard. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. That is one of the great things about this country - freedom of speech. If Tito Trinidad would've went to Africa and threw their
flag down when promoting that fight, all hell would've broken loose. Hopkins is a racist-pig for doing that. There were other ways to promote the fight. But the best thing about this whole "white boy will never beat me" is that yes, indeed, the white boy will beat him. Hopkins will be eating his words - bank on it! Just for the record, I am Puerto Rican. We all shed red blood - no one should be playing the race card. M.R. NYC

i'm not here to argue. but i don't think hopkins is racist. i think he threw the flag down because he probably thinks you should repersent yourself and not a country. the country is not fighting in the ring it's the fighter. i'm black and white. and i'm not racist at all. but tell me why the majority of mexican and puerto rican fighters wear they're flag colors and symbols on their headgear, trunks, and everything; in the amatuers and pro's. Honestley how many american or african fighters do you see wear their nationalities flag or waving their countries flag all over the place. and Don King doesn't count.

yeah, you make a good point. with latins it is more about of a cultural and country representation than it is racial. most latins tend to be more tolerant and respectful of other races than whites or blacks....

you got the "blockhead" name right. idiot ass blockhead don't be a cry baby hypocrit *******. if it is wrong then it is wrong and take a stand for it consistently.

you spineless, piece of ****, jellyfish.....

HAHHA U KIDDY WANT UR BOTTLE? IDIOT LOL sorry but that post made u look dum.
Anyway it isnt world war 3 its just bhop hyping a dam fight by talking crap thats all and it doesnt mean you gta talk **** like him to because he said white boy

[Allucard]

Hopkins is checking out people. He was a great fighter like 10 years ago but more recently he is not. Lawl at people saying Hopkins is better of old, you can't be serious. He has to hype that fight for the cash out money so he uses race. He had too really, in america noone knows Joe Calzaghe cept for the hardcore fan of boxing (us) but everyone will want to see "white boy" beating "black boy" in an over announced antecipated victory. That will sell the fight. Hopkins knows that.

[mick66]

If Joe said that it would be all over the press.. and probably he'd be in the ****.
Hopkins says it and people just say..He's hyping the fight..

Things are not equal...
Do we care...

Not really..

[PeROxiDE]

I dont condone what Hopkins said, I think its racist and totally uncalled for. Anyone who thinks it isnt racist, can you please define the word racist? Where I'm from, stereotyping a whole race in a negative light in racist, and as Hopkins might as well have said "white people cant fight" then its a racist staement, but this hasd been done over and over. All that really matters now is the fight, and Calzaghe will whoop him badly, thats what counts at the end of the day, the W's and the L's, race has nothing to do with it.

[RageX]

Ofcourse he would lose, he is a ****ing old man.

i hate when black people ( well around my community ) clown on other races so damn hard but when someone says somethin about a black person its world war 3 and ****..( not being racist to any black people )..i reall dont think hopkins should of said that..and this aint the first time hes done somethin like this..i remember when he threw the PR flag on the floor..i will be rootin for hopkins though..

they were going to kill him that ***** had it all set up even in philly they were looking for his old ass.
