Bernard Hopkins is an old fool.

[REMOVED SHARK 97]

Borehard was always an ignorant racist, nothing new here.

[Tiozzo]

he's trying to get a fight for his friends shane mosley and ****m. that's really all there is to it.

remember when bhop had mosley bum rush floyd after the marquez fight? same type of thing, he's trying to get them $$$$$$$$

most likely yes

at this point, undeserving Berto is more deserving than Mosley

[_original_]

It surprised me, Hopkins has always had nothing but respect and praise for Pacquiao.

[Xyei]

lol You people are soo ******.

Mosley isn't even a "slick black fighter" that Hopkins is talking about.

All Hopkins is doing is hating on Manny's success plain and simple. Has nothing to do with Mosley.

After Shane's Performance against Mora I doubt anyone would give him a chance in hell to catch Manny. If Mora was too slick for Mosley, Mosley won't even be able to find Manny.

I think you misunderstood what Natas was saying. He didn't say Mosley was a slick fighter. Anyone who knows boxing knows Shane isn't a slick boxer. Hopkins was more referring to Mayweather.

Australia is not Europe.

just their convicts....... haha, just messin, it was too open to not smack.


anyways hopkins is out their promoting, might not be directly for GBP, but is for someone who he has in mind, obviously, as mentioned here and on other threads, mosley and ****m, although, it could go south and if pac takes the bait (of sorts) by fighting a "slick black fighter" or whatever was being said, ( lots of noise here can't hear myself think) but pac could pick someone else other than mosley. i think a way to sell that one better is to have mosley fight someone who looks to be legit enough for the people and have him get an impressive win to sell mosley as a REAL threat.

i love mosley, but i think he's on the downside of his career, prime, and natural talent on the A level.....


i'd love to be proven wrong but mosley didn't look like himself in his last fight and i think that he is winding down........

any who, hopkins is playing ringmaster again, which he's decent at, got to give him that, he's obviously stoked your flame.......... so there you go.

B-Hop may be a living legend in the Ring but that's it. Out side of the ring he has always been an uneducated ignorant ****** ******. Not because of his skin color, simply because of his mentality. And he never was the brightest bulb either.

This is the same fool who (After Danny Green Knocked Roy Jones Jr out in Australia) proclaimed: "That's why I never go to EUROPE tofight."

He said that because Green's wraps were dirty...geez people hate so much they leave out the facts...

[Kimo]

Bhop might say a lot of ridiculous ****, but that makes him a legend as well. Fits his character.

The Puerto Rican flag incident is still legendary!!

[120]

Bhop has ALWAYS been a fool and an a55hole.

[MikeRo1972]

not true

he is a very clever and articulated man

you can't use just the Europe case to decide he's an uneducated ignorant

First,
With all due respect...if you think B-Hop is articulate then we have degraded as a public. He is clever though, I'll give you that much.

Second,
I'm not basing my opinion on his Manny comments alone. it comes from a history if ignorant behavior and rhetoric.

1- At the PR press conference to promote his Tito Trinidad fight; dude took the PR flag, broke the stem and threw on the floor...I know he was promoting the fight but c'mon man.

2- The "I'll never lose to a white boy..." statement

3-Jumping into the ring post fight at the PBF-JMM bout. He instigated the PBF-Mosely argument, Max Kellerman damned near crapped in his tux

4- His "MMA is gay ****" comment

Look, I dont think the dude is racist or ****phobic. But he is the poster child for why you stop "Keeping it Real" when you become a grown a** man. You say whatever you want whenever you want and all you do is come off looking like a fool.

ATG-Yes
Boxing HOF-Yes
Clever-Yes
Intelligent- Nope
