    I don't see this fight as cutting on racial lines, oddly enough. Hopkins has plenty of white fans, Calzaghe plenty of black ones

      Yeah. You'd have to refer back to Hatton-Mayweather for some real racial tension.

      Pac-Morales was the best, though. Pinoys and Mexicans...

              Not really. You are basing it solely on skin color, which I just find weird. It's up to you though.

                  Yes of course it is.


                  Not all racism is terrible though. At least you admit it and hopefully don't let it carry over to other aspects of life

                    I'm white, and rooting for Joe. Not because of skin colour though, because i am a bigger Calzaghe fan than i am a Hopkins fan. Why does race matter in boxing?

                    It's like, who honestly goes like 'He's a good fighter...but hes a different skin colour to me so i hate him'?

                    Its just something that does not even matter imo.
