Kovalev's manager: "Sergey is not a racist."

[jmrf4435]

I'm so sick of this bull****, and the double standard. Black and hispanic fighters say much more controversial racist **** on the norm. Remember when Hopkins said all that **** about calzaghe? Could you imagine if a white fighter said those things? Stop attacking Sergei because he' walking through a ton of african American fighters. This is a joke

BERNARD HOPKINS IS A RACIST

Sure he is, so is Sergei Kovalev.

i don't think kovalev meant anything racist by that. adonis does look and especially acts like a monkey, but is that racist??? i don't think so. some people act and look like certain animals. all black people don't look like monkeys. so is kovalev saying all black people are monkeys??? no absolutely not.

i don't think this is racist at all. people think it's racist because they associate black people with monkeys (so who is the real racists????). but truthfully adonis does act like one big monkey.

Why am I not surprised this vile, putrid ignorant bull**** would be spewed by you. Racist scum.

If that pic is legit, not only does it confirm that he's a racist but also a ***ing spastic. Why would you post that on Twatter? What a complete ****.

this was very immature of Kovalev. He acts like a man, very reserved and classy in front of reporters but acts very childish on social media. He should follow the example of the Klitschkos and GGG.

however people need to get thicker skin and there is definitely a double standard.

Remember Floyd Mayweather called Manny some racist terms. if Manny had done that, all hell would break loose.

Do you have an actual web address for this one? Or at least the precise date when Kovalev posted it on Twitter?... I'd like to check on this...

It's real he deleted 5mins after he posted the twit.

I'm pretty sure he is.

To be fair that looks just like Adonis.

I thought it was funny. Give the Russian a break. They grow up in a different culture then the pc culture of America.

Is he racist? could be. If he is not, he definitely needs some social education on how things are here. He lives over here now, and should adopt our standards on what is acceptable and what is not.
