Bernard Hopkins: "American Fighters are Better"

[tyson]

i agree it doesnt matter but was just making a point.. hopkins is a **** tho and after he takes a hammering he wont be able to come back for all the crap hes talked all this time... alot of people down here in the u.k are speculating that if hopkins starts to realise in the fight that he is loosing that he will get himself dissquallified as a cheap way to say he never lost and that he was dissqualified etc..

People who speculate such a thing are the same people who would do that themselves. It's disrespectful to a top athlete like Hopkins who's proved himself over the years to even discuss such a scenario.
Deal with it if it happens, not before.

Hopkins won't get hammered, he might be outboxed and lose, but no hammering. If he realize he might lose, I doubt he'll pull a ***** move like that.

whats wrong with Bernard stating the obvious? haha, i like this rivalry too bad this might be the end of it, or at least for a bit.

he definitely WONT be outboxed either. IF, and im saying IF, he loses, it'll be because joe was able to get to the punch faster than hopkins b/c his age finally catches up with him. But I doubt that too, and shame on me for even thinking such a thing.........

you lot dont know about calzaghe.. he is a warrior! so try not to dig yourselves a hole as come sunday morning we will all be back on here and your not gonna feel to great knowing all the stuff you bernard fans stated was rubbish and that i was right the whole time.. trust me youl feel really ****** and make yourself look like you know nothing about boxing even if you do, mark my words this isnt a hard fight for calzaghe! its a clean up for him! dont dig yourselves a whole cos calzaghe will win and win convincingly, hopkins just wants a big payday before he gets retired by the best and hes fooling you lot along the way, but i cant blame him as thats his job but wake up! if you fancy bernard winning keep it on the DL lol and if he wins you can call me all the names under the sun come sunday morning..but it aint gonna happen! im british an i knew hatton would loose but calzaghe...NO WAY!!! calzahe is the mayweather in this situation..

Why does he try to make it a nationality thing in a bad way. Joe fairly says, its not country vs country, people vs people, it's 2 fighters, and a sport. Right on.

The fans in the video's haven't been that bad at all, waving a few British flags, shouting baldy, and only one Calzaghe, maybe few other things. All pretty standard stuff really. In any fight names get called out, and often flags are about too, I don't see much difference at all.

So where does his attitude on the Brits come from? "They and Calzaghe threaten me, and will respect me after" wtf with the word threaten, how so? Some Hatton fans booed the US national anthem, not all. Overall they were loud, but respectful over the week of the fight, even Floyd complimented them and Hatton, so it's odd Hopkins would have such a different take.

This from the guy whom threw a Puerto Rican flag on the floor, and stamped on it? He's making statements that the US are better than the UK in boxing, that's crap. Understand basic population and comparisons Bernard.

On almost every point he criticises, he's ironically more guilty of it himself, delusional and hypocritical.

P4P is more opinion than fact.

[GodOfWar]

what hes really trying to say is that AFRICAN american fighters are better.

Yeah, like the way Calzaghe beat Lacy up and so on. Skin don't mean ****, I hope you're against the crap Hopkins has been saying. Honestly this may sound sick in some ways but I really hope Calzaghe hurts Hopkins because hyping a fight up with racist comments is not cool and there is no excuse what so ever.
