    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.

    Ugh we are talking about hopkins and not playing a game of tit for tat.

      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.

        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.

          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.

              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.

                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.

                  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?

                    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?
