Why does Hopkins say racist comments...

[Sox8055]

[QUOTE=Kunty McPhuck;4457452]It's what B-Hop does to get into a fighters head, thats it nothing more nothing less. People are reading too much into it, if he was really racist I don't think he would of went over to Pavlik after there fight and told him what he did.

Just like in wrestling, action films tv shows like 24/prison break you need a good guy and a bad guy and Bernrd like Baby Floyd know how to play this

my point exactly, would be pretty boring if every boxer acted like DLH....boxing needs bad guys...

"you'll be like a Black boxer".

eh? not sure what this means

Why even bring race into the equation in the first place?

Nobody else does it.

Why not bring race into it? He's a grown man and this is America right? So he can say whatever the **** he wants.

Hops is his own man and doesn't need to pander to anyone to get their approval. You don't like what he says then go say it to his face and see how many teeth he leaves you with.

Thats what Hopkins told Kelly, if he does this and that, change some things up, he'll fight like a Black boxer.

I never knew there was a certain way Black boxers fought.

Who said he wasn't a grown man and this wasn't america?

Sure he can say what he wants, but it doesn't excuse him from being an ass.


What other fighters bring race into the equation when discussing their opponent?

Ever heard of Roberto Duran? Mother****er never missed an opportunity to diss black and Puerto Rican fighters. Like Hops, that guy just said whatever was on his mind and didn't give a rat's ass what guys like you thought about him.

By the way, aren't you Mexican? Damn man, our own grandmothers get away with saying worst racist things than this and somehow a whiteboy comment gets you all worked up? Geez, quit being a puto.

[J.R.]

hahahahaha.. Exactly.

Oh ok, I was on more, don't let this defeat take your soul...

But thanks for cleaning it up
