I already posted a link but here's another on from Wikipedia...
On December 7, 2007, Hopkins and Calzaghe met face to face in the media room set up for the Floyd Mayweather, Jr. vs. Ricky Hatton fight. Hopkins and Calzaghe began shouting insults and taunting each other, with Hopkins shouting, "You're not even in my league! I would never let a white boy beat me. I would never lose to a white boy. I couldn't go back to the projects if I let a white boy beat me." Hopkins would later explain his comments, saying that it was not meant to be taken as a racial slur or a reflection of his feelings on white fighters, but simply said to create some hype for his fight with Calzaghe.Comment

I saw that too. I'm not saying he didn't meet with Joe Smith Jr. I've met some famous people and things like that happen sometimes and I know a lot of people won't believe you when it does. I just was questioning that one point.Last edited by jaded; 07-28-2018, 01:14 AM.Comment

Awesome, Bazooka Joe is an exciting fighter who's a warrior!
No doubt in my mind he would've beaten Sullivan if he never had a broke jaw, you can tell something was off with Joe, he was fighting way too pedestrian for it to not be suspected him being injured!
I think he should hold out from a Kov fight till late next year, he just came back from a broken jaw that's been broken before!Comment

We have our wires crossed.. reread my original post.. I asked joe if that comment hopkins made about never losing to a white boy bothered him.. thats all, i never said hopkins made that comment to joe smith... i know he said it to calzaghe but i figured it would also get joe fired up and would be in the back of his mind being joe is white as well..
As i said it didnt bother him at all but what did really bother him was when hopkins went on his “common” man rant at the presser.
You dont have to believe me, im cool with that.Comment
