I think "we" have heard enough about Hopkins. How long has it been since the fight with Mr Calzaghe? And you're still talking about it? If it was a person of African decent doing this regarding white racism you would quickly say "let it go" "you're playing the race card" "you have a black president" etc..etc.....
I also think you carefully pick and choose when you talk about racism. Very clever on your part. It's OK to talk about Hopkins but when I can use other examples from other races, you grow silent. Why is that, sir? Double standards?
Don't be a hypocrite. It demeans you.Comment

Because no one wants to hear the responses from racists defending him, like the ones on this thread. Everyone with any sense knows Hopkins is a racist, there's really not much to do besides boycott his fights when they air.Comment

Ugh no the double standard is that you use other examples of ****** racist behavior to condone Hopkins ****** racist behavior.
And stop talking to me like Im white because im not.Comment

Does anyone care that 1 week before Hopkins said this, Bob Arum told Dan Rafel he could market a Mosley PAc fight as Manny's 1st time against an african american? Since Bob acknowledges this truth, its hard to call Hopkins a racist for pointing it out.Comment

Nothing he said was racist, all he said was pac didn't fight black fighters with a certain style.
You guys make it sound like its not true.
Besides, this is boxing, we don't give a **** about being politically correct. Boxing is a sport more catered to race than any other sport.Comment

Reported for 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?Comment

Because he just recently made some more comments, kiddo.
Is that like when you pretend to be battling racism, while sending me a racist, slur riddled PM?Don't be a hypocrite. It demeans you.Comment
