    Is that a racial view? Yea.

    But i cant say he is racist even with that Calzaghe quote
    I agree with the first bit.

    I think he does see black as superior. the way he got brought up influenced this.

      Sure he is racist but he is from the hood in Philly, what do you expect? He still lost to a white boy though so it's all good.

        I think everyone is racist to some degree, but I think Hopkins is showing it a bit much.

          Don't stereotype Philly because of Hopkins, Philly is mixed with all types of races living in the same areas.

              I've been to Philly......there are some parts of it I should stay out of especially at night...same as in any city I guess.

                    Remember his comments "I'll never let a white boy beat me?"...

                    And the comments today about Manny Pacquiao avoiding black opponents because of not being able to defeat them...

                    What do you think?


                    Hopkins is not a racist!!!!!! That's impossible. He has no power to prevent someone from another race from pursuing their goals, dreams or climbing the economic ladder.


                    He may be a bigot!!!!!!!!! But I doubt that also.


                    I don't think PACMAN himself has avoided fighting AA boxers, but I do believe his people i.e..Arum and Roach knew it was probably better if PACMAN fights face first flat footed fighters.


                    Slick counter punchers will surely give someone like PACMAN a lot of problems.


                    I think thats all Hopkins was trying to say!!!!

                      Of course he is. He's disgusting with it. But you shouldnt be surprised because most spooks are like that. Seriously.
