    Hopkins says he wont be botherd if the Anthem is boo`d

    Just seen an interview and when asked:

    "are you still going to go right after him because they boo`d our national anthem"

    Hopkins said:

    "No, did you see what America did to Joe Louis the other night?"

        No, what he said was 'No, not after watching The Joe Louis Story'

            So I'm guessing Hopkins hates America then. Joe Louis was a great American hero and an ATG, but he should have paid his taxes. His managers did more damage to him than any tax collectors.

              lmao, shut the hell up. If you don't think the government did him dirty, then your either very ignorant or in denial.

                After what Joe did for America they should have gave him some slack he was an icon until the day he died.

                Remember what America did to Muhammad Ali?

                Thats what hes saying, truth is he has no intention to go after Calzaghe he would be ****** to do so.

                I also think that American can be ever so slighty over patriotic i mean i get Fox in the uk i see Bill O`Reily, lol.

                  I have a huge amount of respect for Joe Louis for what he did for blacks in boxing and serving his country during the war, but he should have paid his taxes, point blank. And how in the hell does he hold on to his title for over 4 years without defending it once?

                    Joe Louis was an ATG and cultural icon. Like many other stars, he got accustomed to living the high life and continued to try to live it when the cash flow just wasn't there.
