    Whatever he said, there's no denying that he's a racist. Let's be honest here. I'm a big Hopkins fans, and even I gotta' admit he's one. There's one thing having a tendency to support a fighter because he's got something you can relate to (their nationality, town they come from, and yes, their race if you're a minority in a country). That's totally normal. But it's a totally different thing to be so narrow-minded, that you're willing to give credit/respect only to black fighters, and completely dismiss anyone else (if they're not of benefit to you; i.e. Jessie Vargas). I remember in the lead-up to the Mosley fight, he was asked whether he was supporting Mosley back when he fought Margarito, and he replied with something like: "Of course I was supporting him. He's black". :lol:. And of course, it doesn't help when you've been seen making racist rants on internet videos, either.

    he is saying, i support 1 race of people above all others, WTF IS NOT RACIST ABOUT THAT? look up racist in the dictionary

    i dont think floyd intends to be, but the stuff that comes out of his mouth, unbeknown to him proves that he is in fact racist

    It's no different to Mexican American's supporting Mexican American's. Most of Amir Khan's fan base only getting into boxing because Khan is a successful ****stani boxer, they never would have followed boxing if Amir was white. Aren't you Pakstani and an Amir Khan fan yourself? Isn't Amir your face active boxer?

    Let's not forget Black American's are a very distinct ethnic group who didn't have civil rights until 40-50years, that's a very common bond

    I'm not a fan of supporting someone based on them being from the same background, but most boxing fans do it

    With this definition, we can all agree that Hopkins is a racist when he said: "i'll never lose against a white boy".

    Floyd brings up great points when he said why these guys want to see a chump fight so bad? He was gone for 2 years and he is always the 1st fighter to be brought up.

    He's not my favourite active boxer (Pac is), but yeah, I am Pakstani, and I do support him. Which is why I said.....

    "There's one thing having a tendency to support a fighter because he's got something you can relate to (their nationality, town they come from, and yes, their race if you're a minority in a country). That's totally normal."

    But the problem I have, is with what I said after....

    "But it's a totally different thing to be so narrow-minded, that you're willing to give credit/respect only to black fighters, and completely dismiss anyone else"

    Come on man how dare you mention the Mayweathers in the same sentence as those talentless hypejobs. The Mayweathers earned their fame through talent. Kim and Paris can't act, can't sing, and all they would be good for would be porn. The Jersey Shore people are just hopeless.
