    This weekend/the racial thing

    If a white fighter (Sergei Kovalev for example) said the things Bernard said in the past regarding race, white fighters etc ..Every boxing board would be trolling with articles/post/ideas about the injustices the sport of boxing subjects black fighters too. It seems the sporting world chooses to forget Bernard Hopkins has made plenty of bigoted statements(And no I'm not just referring to before this fight "to sell tickets") why do people not care about the double standard?

    Let it go.

    BHops comes out with some s#it sometimes but anything he's said pales in comparison to the virulent racist bullsh#t I see on boxing forums everyday from both sides.

    If you wanna start a campaign to clean up racism in boxing, get in touch with the mods or write to your Senator / MP / whatever your elected representative is called where you come from.

      its cause black people are sensitive so we treat them like kids to be honest.

      We dont hold them to the same standard we hold everyone else cause they speak before think and are like lil kids all emotions no logic.

        Kovalev made some very questionable remarks regarding black people in the past.

        Not condoning either, just pointing that out.

          Every white guy who comes up with that overused "If a white guy said it" argument thinks he's some kind of absolute genius who thinks he just discovered a cure for cancer. It's hilarious because they really are just fools with no clue about history.

            I get you're trolling and all. But you named yourself after a black guy from the hood which you obviously look up to. Now what kind of logic do you have lol

            Real Daylyt- troll god. You-troll peasant

              Slavery is not specific to Africans. Many other ethnic groups including Irish, ***ish, Greek, and Armenian have been enslaved throughout history. The white man did not invent slavery. History of certain peoples should not be a catalyst to justify Injustice. Please don;t try and claim you know history when you dont!! thanks!!

                  There are lots of racists fans, sadly most of them don't realize it. This thread is nonsense anyway.

                    Hopkins gave Kovalev full credit and respect in the post fight interview and presser.

                    So whatever he said in the past is irrelevant now.
