Comments Thread For: Hopkins: "When Will Pacquiao Face a Top Black Fighter?"

[shishaw]

I can remember PAC beat 2 African fighters, Ledwaba and Clottey. And to tell you the truth, I don't see any difference in the style of fighting between African and African-American. And what d you mean top Black fighter BHOP? Mayweather or you include Mosley there? FMJ on vacation and Mosley is a Grampa like you. We filipinos respect the elderly, we don't punch them in the face! You're not suggesting Berto.. coz he's Haitian.

Good move by hopkins.

An up and coming african american will now get a chance to fight pac.

Hopkins is a racist piece of ****...

It's 2010, 90 percent of everyone has some sort of other races blood in them... stfu about race... what's next? pacquiao hasn't beaten a top eastern european? or a top cuban? LOL... when you start basing your theory on race, **** gets real contradictory, real ****** sounding, REAL QUICK... Anyway, NO BLACK fighter has a big enough following to put on PPV... None are even a legit C side opponent, forget B side... Anyway, Pac already beat a top 5 WW Black guy by the name of joshua clottey... Shane Mosley is the only black dude in his weight that can even reasonably be mentioned as an opponent because he proved he can be a good B side opponent, BUT HE DREW WITH SERGIO MORA! nobody wants to see that ****... no true boxing fan anyway... williams, bradley, alexander - NONE can bring in anymore buys than clottey... MAYBE williams and bradley or alexander in a year or two

Cheap shot from jealous Bernard. Who are these "top black fighters" he's referring to?

[Kamelion]

Maybe when they earn a shot?Wtf has Shane done to earn a shot at Manny?A loss to Floyd and a draw with Mora?Oh yeah that sure earns a shot lmao

Well he did knock out Margarito and I don't know what Margarito did but he got a shot at Pacquiao. Maybe there is some truth to what Hopkins said, maybe.

I can't believe a dumb thread like this would reach this much pages.

LOL and the fact that pacquiao beat THE BLACKEST BOXER IN BOXING! STRAIGHT OUTTA AFRICA! LOL THAT IS AS BLACK AS IT GETS! Clottey - who arguably is better than both cotto and margarito... IMO he is equal with cotto and better than margarito... He would WAX shane mosley, paul williams (PW aint manny; he cant keep clottey covered up with his slow, lumbering ass)... AND LEDWABA, another black ass, top 5 contender at the time

[Ryannn]

man, stfu bhop.

he's clearly promoting a fight with shane mosley, which is a bullshit fight at this point.

and he had to take the black supremacist road

[jbpanama]

Pac is an EQUAL OPPORTUNITY ASS KICKER!!!

Joe Louis, Ray robinson, Henry Armstrong, Floyd Patterson, Ali, leanord, Tyson, what do all of them have in common? Argued to be the best of all time..oh and they happen to all be African American..what Bhopal is trying to say is that if you're going to label PAC to be one of the best, first he has to beat someone who emulates the greatest boxers of all time. The definitive description of an African American is one who is a decedent from those brought over from the slave trade. Hundred of years of different societies, breeding, nutrition, and focus divide the cultures and there athletic ability. In order for PAC to be able to say he was the greatest ever, he's gonna have to fight an African American boxer, not an African brawler.
