Calzaghe and Hopkins heated exchange

[Kris Silver]

Hopkins is one of those idiots from the Nation of Islam..
niccas are racist as hell.

Oh dear...

[Sin City]

Oh dear...

did I say something untrue? no.

One of THOSE idiots from the Nation of Islam? Doesn't mean they're all idiots as that statement inters.

All nicca's are racist? A bit generalistic.

I don't think Bernard is racist at all, doesn't mean you can say stuff like that though, it's dis respectful at best, racist at worst.

And yes, saying the europe stuff was dumb your right, woulda been far better off dissing the fighters. It's ironic to considering Joe wanted Bernard anywhere years ago, and Bernard said no. Even for this fight, Bernard wouldn't come to the UK, he said put some weight on and come to the US. Well there he is lol.

I'd agree with 90%. 31 years old is NOTHING! Hopkins is living proof. Whatever anyone says, Calzaghe won't get the credit he deserves for defeating Eubank. It's always "Eubank was too old!", and also "Lacy was too young!" (I've heard this one before).

It has nothing to do with Eubank being old you moron. It has to do with Eubank losing his desire and failing to pull the trigger after the Watson tragedy and never being the same again. Wake the **** up. I thought you where following boxing since the seventies? You must have been asleep at the wheel.

Get a grip.

Get a grip.

I got a grip. Get a clue!

I agree with RFKO, although I wouldn't put it in so many words. I don't think Calzaghe would have any problems with anyone on B-Hops rez including Roy and Winky. The only one I see B-Hop having problems with on Cal's rez is Kessler.

Should be the best Hopkins fight we've ever seen though, as I think Joe will make the fight. Hopefully we don't see the pop shot-grab-break-pop shot-head butt routine we usually see with Hopkins.

Most of the black people that I personally know make anti-White racist statements all the time.

But what is the big deal?

It is only words.

You'd have to be rather child-like, immature and emotionally lacking to get really upset over mere words.

Determining what constitues racism is largely a personal thing which you've demonstrated. I too have friends, whereby we can call each other anything and it's funny, playing up to it, it's why racially controversial comments are often so common in comedy.

In different area's different usage of racial words are taken differently, there's so many factors. But with racism laws so strict in much of the civilised world, it doesn't take much to constitute racism. These are professional sports men, and saying I wouldn't lose to a white person in any other sport like Tennis for example, would stir lots of controversy, and like it or lump it, many, even official bodies, would determine it racist. It can't work both ways.

I think other opponents on Joes's CV that should in particular worry Bernard and demonstrate ability to overcome such tasks include Eubank and Bika. Eubank was an older, more known, wiser, legend, confident, ****y, great countering etc. Joe overcame that. Bika fought dirty, head butted cutting Joe, warred Joe trying everything. Didn't work, Joe overcame that.

Not saying it's the same but definitely some similar aspects of Bernard there, which Joe has prooved he can over come.

Eubanks and Bika are NOTHING like Hopkins.
