“White Boy” a Throwback to Holmes-Cooney

[kayjay]

I agree it was pretty loathsome and was incorrect in basic facts. For example Hatton was on his feet when the referee stopped the fight and although he fell down afterwards he wasn't down for the full ten count. But it's the patronising racist throwbackery that upsets me the most. Ooh ooh ****** Tough. Ooh ooh no white European can beat a black American.

What the ****, has he never heard of the Heavyweight division?

It's one thing when ****** teenagers write this on the boards, another when the site actually publishes an "article" stating the same nonsense.

That was an unprofessional move by the writer and the editorial staff. They have no standards here.

The editor of this crap should have not let this get through the cracks. I can respect a mans opinion, but this is piss poor at best. Calzaghe has beat up guys that IMO , Hopkins could not beat.(Lacy-Kessler, Eubank) How the hell does the writer think that Hopkins will KO an undefeated fighter who has only been down once and scored a KO in the same round to show that he has nuts and resolve? Pathetic son.

The Holmes v Cooney thing got way outta hand and this fight ain't nowhere near that magnitude of racist bull****. It's more US v UK than it is a black v white thing. And smart people are ignoring the whole white boy comment and just concentrating on the fight itself anyway.

First of all , the current heavyweight division is not relative to what the writer is talking about. There are NO great fighters in the division today period! It's just bum v.s. bum! Second, the writer is a moron and I agree with you on the racist bull****. The US ******s aren't the only ******s in the world and aren't the toughest either! Belfast, Ireland, London,England, Paris France, Brazil and the one I've just recently left Baghdad Iraq are just as tough if not tougher. While believe Hopkins should win it's based on his superior level of competition and the advantage of fighting in the US. Imagine how overwhelming it would be if our top fighters had to go to a crazed England to fight. Many of our top guys have lost over there as well.

"FACTS" like the "FACT" that Hatton was counted out despite the "REALITY" that he was stopped on his feet? **** doesn't this clown have the internet? He mailed in his article?

Why are you so focused on semantics? Counted out or knocked the **** out it doesn't matter! I don't agree with some of what he says but many events did actually happen. It doesn't necessarily mean they will reoccur in this fight but there are many facts in the article as well as opinions. What you're bitching about is something the size of a mole on a gnat's ass!
