Comments Thread For: Hopkins Rips Philly For Racially Motivated Disrespect

[Mr. Philadel]

What an A55hole. Jealous of a fictitious character. Probably mad because Tarver got that final role in the last Rocky movie too. Hey Bernard, Rocky would've beat your ass and you know it.

who raised you?....your words have no pop...another feather fisted poster lol

[Mr. Philadel]

Geez guy it was a joke. Its also kindergarten level so even you could read it.

don't get all sensitive, son.

that's more like it.

people really arent riding with BHop on this one? really?

i thought myself MANY times, about how ****ed up it is that philly pay all that attention to a fictional character from the movies rather than the actual warriors of the sport.

they even raised a statue of this dude! you have joe frazier and you give a statue to rocky freakin' balboa!?

you really arent with BHop on this one? im afraid its for the same reason he brings up, its racially motivated. if giardello was alive and brought up the same point people wouldnt question it.

the thing BHop says about how behaving well doesnt sell, thats true too. look at tyson and mayweather, people want to see black men behaving poorly to confirm their own prejudice. admirable people like BHop they want to sweep under the rug.

every word hopkins spoke is pure uncut truth.

While I get this view point, that Rocky statue is an attraction that people all over the world go to get pictures of and with.

The movie appeal is much larger than boxing, it brings that city a certain amount of visitors that a Bernard Hopkins statue would not.

[Mr.Daddy]

BHop is right. This worship of Rocky Balboa is an insult to any and every Philly fighter.

Haha well said! Borenard wants to get credit for living a normal life? Well that's what we all do you dumbas...

50 years old and still needing attention. I can't imagine how whiny he'll be once he leaves the sport for good.

[texasboi15]

damn, you are ******.

he wants credit for turning his life around, which he deserves.

he thinks athletes living a normal life should merely get the same amount of credit for their accomplishments within their sport, as athletes who behave poorly.

is it fair that athletes receive more attention and money as a result of getting in trouble? does that send a good message to the youth?

I wonder if the people he used to rob and steal from thinks he deserves any credit?
