    Why doesnt anyone call out Hopkins Blatant racism?

    This guy makes the most vile, racially charged comments of any celebrity in history, and no other boxer has condemned him for it, and the media is too squeamish to say anything to his face. He does this year after year, and the news shows pass it off as Hopkins being Hopkins.

    Imagine if Joe Calzaghe said "Id never let a Black bloke beat me!" No doubt Jim Lampley would call that racist, but he is dead silent when Hopkins does it.

    So why do people allow this, are they scared?

    Hopkins is not a racist, he's just being himself.

        Did you or all of your fellow Englishman raise a fuss when your beloved Alan Minter said he would never let a black man beat him?


        How about when England's own National Front threw bottles and went into attack mode after America's Hagler turned cuisenart on Minter's face?

        When you say why do you "allow this" what do you mean? Elaborate sir.What do you want? A public lynching?

        Stop being a hypocritical imbecile. Your racial views are no different from Hopkins and probably worst.

          Because most boxing fans realize he's referring to a slick counterpunching elusive style, not necessarily a race. It just happens to be a coincidence that many African Americans employ that style.

            You do realise that Hopkins is an ex convict and is not employed by anyone, thats why he gets away with it. I do agree that if Calzaghe said the same, more would have been made of it. But Hopkins being a boxer and an ex convict, people kinda know that he knows no better. Again, boxers are no role models, they are just ordinary men who participate in a sport that many of us enjoy.

                  I'm white, and I have never encountered racism against my race. It might be that throughout history, whites have never not been in a position of power... or it might be that white people are just secure enough in their race to not care.

                    In the same way Racism against black people doesn't exist. And never did according to your ilk.





                    However, I do have a lot of sympathy for drooling mongoloids like you. 39? You poor soul.. Do you have to wear diapers as well?
