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

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Yet Williams, Hopkins, Floyd, Shane, dont all have the same style at all.

Its a vast generalisation to group all American black fighters into a boxing style.

Its like grouping Hatton, Froch, Calzaghe, Lewis, Bruno and Prince Naseem together.


But i do think Pac looks amazing against these big walk forward punchers. He does need to prove himself against a good boxer.

I can only think of floyd who fits the bill.

Yeah Hopkins is off big time. But I get what hes saying.

Another angle to think of is that Hops feel that Pac doesnt give African American fighters the chance to fight him. I cant think of a top black american that Manny fought so thats maybe another angle Hops is hootin for.

But imo its the style not color.

Very good point.

Hopkins is referring to the slow, plodding, come-forward, type fighter.

Damn, before you pointed that out..... the 34 pages that this thread has generated led me to believe that maybe.....

..... ALL ROADS LEAD TO BERNARD HOPKINS

*****s in 3 2 1.....

but you *******s doesn't need a countdown, this place is crawling with people like you.
and on to the pressing matter: I used to like BHop, for what he's done in boxing, but lately he's so wrapped with this racist comments that he's started to annoy me. "I won't let a whiteboy beat me" and that exactly what happened. Bhop should know how evil racism is!

Convince Floyd jr to come out and fight Pacman next year!

[straightleft]

Bhop is ****** to say this. Pac fought all boxing styles except the coward Floyd. Pac fought Ledwaba, Sanchez, Julio, Clottey (all blacks)
Sasakula, JMM (slick and counterpuncher)
Morales, Barrera, Cotto (brawler boxer)
Margarito (pressure fighter)
Floyd is a better boxer but no way a better fighter than Pac. Floyd knows he can win all those rounds if he decides to fight but can't ignore Pac chances of knocking him out. Floyd vs Pac will look similar Pac vs Sasakul. Sakakul winning all the rounds until Pac koed him. or Pac just outworking him.

B hop needs to grow up

Y does b hop have to bring the racist thing up every time, he needs to grow the f@!k up. As if manny has even thought about colour when picking opponents, joke

[Bernard]But how would Manny do against a Latino slow, flat-footed, come forward brawler doe? [/Hopkins]

We're going in circles with this Pac-Maidana question now

[hectari]

When has Floyd fought a slick black fighter B hop? He seems to fight nothing but flat foot slow guys and gets praised for it, Pacman has fought Bradley twice, its funny reading the comments in here of the guys who agree with hopkins and 3 years later they are dissing Pacs win over bradley and dissing Bradley to downplay his victory, smh.

Bradley is very slicka nd crafty, lots of head movement and mixing up styles during fights he can box and brawl, he just lacks pop. Watch how he outboxed and out slicked Peterson he can adjust. Pac beat him twice. He looke better against Bradley than Floyd looked against the tailormade flat foot Maidana

We're going in circles with this Pac-Maidana question now

Hops is funny as, There is no excuse May Vs Manny can now be arranged.. May is black Manny wants the fight... Or is there going to be every excuse under the sun why the fight can't happen... How people can support the guy I will never no..

Pacman is gonna face reality when he steps in the ring against a non Mexican.
