    If your going to be fake racist do it properly.

    Say his dad looks like super mario and his grandad was probably a ****
    That would require invention and a little knowledge of history. Instead he compared him to Larry Bird. Calzaghe has probably never heard of Larry Bird

              Yeah classic! Enzo has very limited boxing knowledge, doesnt see any good sides to his opponents

                Don't you guys know about the history of this? Invective, especially racial invective, have always been a part of the sport. It's what energizes ethnic bases and part of what makes the sport exciting.

                You're as big an ******* as you can be before the fight and then after the fight you hug the guy... c'mon everyone, let's not be so sensitive.

                    Whatever. It's all fake. I enjoy it. If you were at Hopkins Trinidad or Cotto/Judah... you'd know that it makes it alot more fun.

                    BTW... I hated that all the American journalists got so indignent at the booing of the national anthem... I thought that was nonsense too.

                      Oh no he did not. Did he compare Joe to Larry Bird? He really knows how to get Joe mad!

                      This is rubbish IMO, i though Hopkins was meant to be good at trash talk, this is desperate.
