    Why Is Everyone Crying About The Slick Black Fighter Comment?

    settle down ladies.....lol

    tho bhop was a little crude in what he was saying I think the point still stands that Pac hasn't fought a slick elusive fighter that can box on the backfoot....
    (African American fighters and Black fighters are well known for this style its not to say black fighters only exclusively use this style but many do)

    I swear if Manny hadn't of fought any Mexican fighters and a simillar comment was made "Manny hasn't fought any tough ruggued Mexican fighters" I doubt this many ppl whud be bothered....I certaintly wouldn't

    What is it about slick black fighters that gets u guys upset.....lol

    They want the fantasy to continue, this style of fighter will end the fantasy. A better observation is it culturally insensitive for Pac to make his mark overwhelmingly off the heads of Mexican fighters? Certainly Hispanics who are proud of their boxing heritage should resent being the preferred Target of Pacquiao

        Doesnt get me upset, but I will make the obversation that it was a very ****** remark with no substance. It was the fact that once again B-Hop who I really respect as a fighter, played the race card once again. Same thing when he said he would never lose to a white boy. As a caucasian who is a fan of Hopkin's, I think he is slowly but surley drawing a picture that he is a closet racist and that bothers me because I have bought that dudes PPV a few times. Im in the Army so its not like I make alot of it to begin with. But its cool, he said what he said and I will still watch him fight Pascal.

          bro bhop is a moron he got whooped by Calzaghe a (white guy) talent is in all skin colours....regardless of what bhop or anybody esle for that matter says.

          I just think he meant that stylistically many black fighters were well known for being "slick" just like Mexicans are well known for heart
