    Yeah I remember posting that up a few days ago, but no we don't want people finding that out about him because it'd destroy the carefully crafted figure of Hopkins people have created in their minds.

    There was all this story though I must warn you if you're a Hopkins hater you're going to want to stop reading now.

    I bet when he found out the district was mostly white he regretted donating. Btw speaking correct means to use English correctly, any race on the planet can do this if they choose.

    I'd take you up on that bet because I'm not stupid enough to believe Hopkins hates white people based on a few insensitive words rather than his actions.

    By the way, the standards of language change all the time and aren't tied to any one polar standard, unless you have a eurocentric perspective of what things "should be" like.

    Oh and that man in your avatar respects Hopkins greatly for his accomplishments. You'd do well to put away the hate and objectively admire what the man has done.

    The language is ENGLISH, A COUNTRY IN EUROPE you ******. Blacks talk in southern slang, so do white southerners. It is incorrect English and makes you sound dumb.

    Hopkins was a great fighter and he still is. He proved that, giving the great Joe Calzaghe such a hard match (although Hopkins did lose, but only slightly).

    English, a country in Europe huh?

    What about Texan accents? What about Canadian accents? Brooklyn accents? Scouse accents? Yorkshire accents? Australian accents? Southern accents? Surely it's use of language, and it all depends on context and area. You not being able to gasp that makes you look ignorant. Be gone with you.

    Was there ever a fighter at his level that was so many times the underdog and won?

    Hopkins sucks. Only wins cause of holding, hitting, crying to the ref, etc. A complete disgrace, rofl.

    Yup, cried his way through Pascal, held his way through Trinidad, cheated his way through Pavlik, manipulated the ref against Winky, grabbed against Tarver, fouled against De La Hoya....

    I think that's more to do with his opponents being overrated (Pavlik, Pascal) or external issues (Tarver, Winky).
