who the **** likes hopkins?

the guy is boring as hell. overrated too.

Clottey is too black.

Pac need to fight Pwill Black or Maynever Black before the black community shut the ruck up with this Slick African American Boxer Superiority Complex.

I didn't know Bernard spoke for the whole African American community...

[Heeb]

Pacquiao has faced and beaten the counter-punching Joshua Clottey, a native of Ghana, but Hopkins discounts that win.




"Clottey is 'black,' but not a 'black boxer' from the states with a slick style. So you can't really say that Clottey is an African American fighter in that sense," said Hopkins. "No, I'm talking about an inner city, American-born fighter who has the style of maybe a Floyd Mayweather or a Zab Judah or a Shane Mosley."

Shane Mosley is in no way slick. Oh, Bhop

[Russian Crushin]

dont mind Dios Dominicano aka Al Haymon aka Quisqueya...he's a 5'5 metrosexual dominican that's in love with Floyd's money

Yea i know

Dude just pisses me off sometimes acting like a pinoy

[nujabes77]

Zab Judah...didnt his blackness get the **** kicked out of it by Clottey's blackness?

I find this article to be quite reasonable. Manny Pacquiao is one of the greatest fighters of all time no doubt. Top 20 in my opinion. But the fact remains he never fought a great African American fighter. I find it funny when people always say things are racist. It is just an observation. Heck Manny could knock them all out, we just don't know.

Fighting Floyd would solve that. Floyd is the best out there besides Manny. And fighting Shane Mosley would quiet some of the critics as well, though Mosley is not what he used to be, he still is a formidble fighter and a hard puncher. But before people bash this as racist, you have to realize Pacquiao does need to quiet these critics if he wants to be placed in the top 5 ever where some already have him.

Pacquiao if he retires today is an all time great. But without answering this question, he can't be considered the greatest.

Floyd never fought a great Filipino fighter...

You don't have to be black to be slick...Marvin Hagler doesn't fight like Pernell Whitaker...

Zab Judah...didnt his blackness get the **** kicked out of it by Clottey's blackness?

that was just a weird series of name drops, all three of them have different styles and Mosley's even referred to his style of fighting as westcoast/Mexican...B-Hop would have been better off mentioning Joan Guzman or Zahir Raheem

who the **** likes hopkins?

the guy is boring as hell. overrated too.

show some respect he's the best welterweight of our generation
