If Bernard Hopkins were white?

[Roxas]

Hopkins would be an atg no matter what his color.

The guy is still on top at 44yo and has the resume of a god.

He could be called Bernard Bin Laden and you would have to accept he is not only one of a generation but one in a 100yrs.

Hopkins is a black boxer though so he'll never get respect.....

No, black boxers receive far more respect than white boxers.

I disagree I think it's the other way around.....

Many white boxers are hated on though for their skin colour....it's ****ed up and is one of the many reasons I'm kinda Misanthrope but thats a diff story

He will be the jailer guard not the prisoner.

[boxing_pundit85]

Would the way he boxed be seen as cowardly and mostly dirty instead of supreme boxing skills?

If Hopkins were white:

- people like bsrizpac and daggum would be on here making threads to ridicule him and trying to prove his opponents were all bums.

- B-Hop wouldn't have been able to get away with fighting all those smaller men like De La Hoya and all the taxi drivers like Andrew Council, Steve Frank and William Bo James during his time at middleweight.

- Simon Brown would become as famous a name on boxingscene as Tocker Pudwill, even though he didn't have as good of a record.

- the Ring writers like Rosenthal and Raskin would be saying Hopkins should never be considered a great fighter, only a good fighter.

- the Bringer, Street Bully, Bhopreign and many others wouldn't have him as their favorite fighter.

You know I am a big fan of Vitalli, Adamek, and Pavlik Tunney. I don't discriminate based on skin color.
