    yes, I am rooting for hops. I think hopkins has what it takes to beat calzaghe but whether he does or not, we will have to see.

        I think we all know that I'm rooting for Hopkins, what we may not know... is yes, I am white.

          Support Hopkins? I think Hopkins will win. But he's such a de****able peckerhead I fail to see how anyone could legitimately support the douche. I hope Joe gives him a boxing lesson.

                No. Rooting for a black fighter because he's black is not racist.

                If you root against a white fighter because he's white, that's racist.

                To love your own race is not racist.
                To hate another race is racist.

                  i want calzaghe to win because he entertains , takes risks and is great to watch.

                  hopkins takes no risks, fouls, and is one of the most boring fighters i have ever seen.

                  calzaghe will try to knock hopkins out, he really doesn't have a chance at winning on points with american judges unless he wins every round.

                      I am an english white boy and I very much want Hopkins to lose. Not because I am racist but because of his racial slurs, I'm a Calzaghe fan and that I am British. I can't ****ing wait to see the interview after with Bernard if (hopefully) Calzaghe wins! I think Hopkins attitude to race relations is damaging, especially as a sports icon considered 'one of the greats'. I am all for fighters slagging each other off and mind games but Bernards racial slurs (several) were spiteful, I don't give a **** about his background you can't excuse it, hyperthetically if it was Calzaghe claiming 'I will never lose to a black boy' in that situation in a manner similiar to Hopkins all hell would of broken lose. Even if he was just doing it to promote the fight (which I very much doubt), if he gets spanked on Saturday it will be a lesson to other fighters not to pull the race card.
