Comments Thread For: Hopkins Rips Philly For Racially Motivated Disrespect

The Rocky rant is laughable.

I get the jail rant, but that's the consequences of getting locked up. If I'm not mistaken, he's been on television plenty of times talking about his own incarceration.

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.

so true bro. i see it for what it is. Hop was a young black man who could have so easily been another statistic, but instead he believed in himself and look where he is now. He bucked the trend and fulfilled his potential and he deserves nothing but admiration for what he's done.

How are people actually even going against Hopkins in this one? Yes the guy often speaks too much and has made racially motivated and insensitive comments in the past but he is on point with this one. You have a city which has produced 2 ATG fighters, guys who have legacies unmatched by 90% of participants in their sports, yet Philadelphia is prouder of a fictitious character? Come on now.

I can fully understand what Bhop would be bitter about something like this.

popkins fights are boring thats why he can't attract any fans in philly nobody wants to go to his boring fights it has nothing to do with his race he threw like 4 punches per round vs kovalev he's boring

Bhop is still borderline-******ed and racist as hell.

The worst Rocky movie is a million times more exciting than a Bernard Hopkins fight. He got a little hype from winning a title as old as he is, but no one was ever really interested in watching Hopkins spoil his way to a decision.

Race has zero to do with why people don't want to see Bernard Hopkins.

You sound dumb ass...I agree with him totally ...Rocky was exciting to you because it's some **** that barely happens ....Sylvester could've beat my great grandmother ...steroid using ass can't fight his way out of a paper bag ...of course you like it better idiot it's fake, it's a production , it's editing ....but I'm sure if you watch the making if thus bs live you would see stallones I ***** actor ...who can't fight in real life

[Bep3373]

Lay off the crack ...Sylvester couldn't beat yo just bieber in real life

What?!?...speak English bro

[Bep3373]

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.

This guy lost respect when he has Floyd 44-4 lmao then used Hopkins ass as an example when 90 percent if PAC peers say he lost most said easy ...and we are talking all different races including foreigners ...Uhhhh PAC idiot ...now want to hate all out spoken black guys ...you must be a bitxh who was mad you girl ****s blacks ...wake up your a loser just like PAC

If I had the achievements B-Hop has i'd be happy and proud of myself and not constantly seek credit from the public. It's a very poor attitude from someone who claims to be humble.
