[quick reply]

Your Mexican, then you've disrespected your fellow Mexicans...Yes of course Mexicans were best boxers in the lower weight divisions...There were so many great Mexican boxers...You're a clown...

Don't talk to ******s

What Bernard said was NOT Racist. IT WAS THE TRUTH!!! Manny beat two AFRICANS!!! We're talking about African Americans here!! And everyone knows Manny and Freddie ducked Shane after he destroyed Margarito. And now that he's looked like **** "he's a very good possibility" Team Pac is a joke. And how was Clottey a guy that noone even knew the best possibility financially?? According to *******s Manny sold the fight by himself, and filled the stadium by himself. So don't take us for fools. You're not fighting the best! Simply setting Manny up for success.

Are you suggesting that African-Americans are superior? Floyd hasn't fought Asians with pressure fighting styles. Floyd hasn't fought Asians who are on a roll. Does that prove crap in your opinion?

at the end of the day. b hop is right on this one.

ur an idiot...ledwaba was the champ and manny took the fight on 2 weeks notice...

He is ******, just come out from joint

pac technically ducked mayweather using the scared of needles card.but pac really has'nt ducked any african american fighter.its arum that did the ducking for pac.both peterson bros and kendall holt were giving pac the beat down in sparring sessions for the david diaz fight and arum is no dummy.

oh my.. that comment was just pure non-sense.

Incorrect. Ledwaba, while not the lineal champ, was still regarded as the best 122 lb fighter in the world when Pac fought him (and on short notice, if I'm not mistaken). No cherry picking about it.

As far as Roach's comments - that he waited this long to say something makes them a little more ignorant considering he had to time to research his response.

I know he was speaking tongue-in-cheek, but Freddie's missing the point - there aren't an overabundance of Canadians for Hopkins to fight, even though he has beaten one (Vanderpool), and was calling out Bute before landing the Pascal fight. So that comment falls a bit flat.

As far the slap in the face over the Calzaghe fight - last I checked, wasn't Freddie in his corner thant night?

Kind of like Arum talking **** about the stuff Floyd and Oscar did back in the day, glossing over the fact that it happened on his watch while they were Top Rank fighters.

yep freddie was part of hopkins team against calzaghe who is welsh! not english,that's for freddie's statement nothing you said mate.

Pac definitely ducked Zahir Raheem. Look at his face at 9:20 and 9:01 after finding out Morales lost to Zahir.

This is so far the most idiotic comment in this thread. Pac would wax that Zahir a$$ in a heartbeat. Thanks for the laughs. Please keep posting. lol

[medium-deek]

Not sure if this has already been noted: Calzaghe is Welsh. Not English. And Hopkins has already fought and beat an Englishman in Howard Eastman.

[AmericanFighter]

both peterson bothers and kendall holt were killing pac in sparring leading up to the david diaz fight.there's no way pac gets in the ring with bradley,judah,corley,alexander,and especially mayweather. but arum will let him fight the old mosley and no defense berto.

Another idiotic comment. Thanks for the laughs. lol
