Hopkins calls out Adamek: "I'll beat this robotic white-boy!"

[alframsey]

Whites dont owe blacks anything. Dont ever buy into that.

Hes the big scary black monster from prison(what hes marketed and hyped as. lol) but in reality hes probing, clinching, careful and defensive. That only proceeds with caution.

He knows what hes doing, he said what he said. But in the ring hes only 1-1 VS his beloved saying 'whiteboys'. Time for a tiebreaker, while hes at it he should fight Kessler too.

Co-sign!!!!!!!!

Yeh, cus im sure all the black fighters aren't robotic. Right, you need a slap if you believe this............FACT!

name me one robotic black guy

i won't hold my breath

[alframsey]

too bad the other scared white boy(calzaghe) won't fight hopkins. too scared. he knows he can't hit hopkins and hopkins can hit him at will. must be a terrible feeling. at least he can pretend he's punching hopkins and hope the judges will be fooled.

Not sure whether you are being sarcastic, or you actually mean it! If you mean it you must be a very bitter person and blatently cant accept his fighter lost.

Williams, but are you serious that there is not any black robotic boxers??? come on!

Being a caucasian myself, I find Hopkins' remark hilarious. Don't you find it hilarious?

It's hilarious if you know Hopkins' character, if you know he digs mischief-making and if you also know there isn't a prejudiced bone in his body. Peep mt102879's avatar and tell me what you see.


This **** is only worth getting worked up over when there's anything resembling malice or hatred motivating it, as opposed to crafty baiting.

The 2 examples Flawless cites are legitimate examples of such, if admittedly from bygone eras.

I agree with most of what you've said. There's a reason why Chris Rock can say "cracker" 100 times during a comedy performance in front of a white crowd and get laughs. It's because there's no harm behind such a comment since historically black people have never had the power to make a slur hurtful. The only people who are upset over the comment are generally racist themselves. They don't like that "one of them" would dare say something like that about "us", as though there is no reason for black people to ever be upset. It's not because they've actually hurt by the comments, it's because it came from someone they already feel hostility towards.

I would condone Hopkins comment but I think it's painfully obvious that he's only saying it for promotion. Yet some people apparently don't want to believe it no matter how much supportive evidence (such as Hopkins winking at a reporter after saying it to Calzaghe) there is. Likely because they WANT a reason to attack a black fighter.

Paul Williams, get the fuck out of here. Williams always mixes it up but is NOT one dimensional

[SnoopySmurf]

Easy pickings for Hopkins.

i was being sarcastic

but on a serious note, (now that i think about it) i dont think i can name one robotic black fighter

50 years ago black people couldn't even ride the damn bus and they had to go to seperate bathrooms and places to eat. not to mention the constant persecution they endured in daily life just for being black. consider this a little well earned payback that the black people get to hold over your head for years of racism.

an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind

Hopkins would beat Adamek easilly. Though i realise his white boy comment is for promotion, his comment was still in bad taste.
