    are you saying that everyone that doesn't like Hopkins is a racist?

    or did you mean something else? If not explain yourself.

    I mean what I say. This board is racist as **** and one thing racists like to do is try to rob a Black man of his legacy. I don't care if you get offended, if so I'm glad.

    well in that case you sound as biased as the hateful racists on this board by lumping them all in together as one that thinks the same, which is exactly the same stupid thinking conclusion that all racists jump to, lump them all together as ONE group so its easier to hate them.

    My point is simple, not all people that have a issue with Hopkins are going to be racists but you have too much hate in your heart to see that.

    Being honest here I question you about the 0-5 part
    1,, Nard went 1-1 against Jones jr
    2.. No way in hell did Slappy Calzaghe beat him
    3.. He was also robbed of wins TWICE against Taylor
    That leaves Sergey Kovalev ? Heck man Nard was 48 yrs old when he took on Sergey Thje man no one else wanted to face
    Jones always had excuses not to rematch Nard Until he was broke the Nard kicked his ass
    Bernard Hopkins is a legitimate top ATG I'm glad I got to meet him & follow he career

    I thought Tarver was a great win, especially given the Jermain Taylor disappointments.

    Wasn't lumping everybody but this type of bull**** doesn't happen to other fighters when they retire so why Hopkins. I am openly questioning the motivation of this thread. Calling out racism isn't racism. If you don't think Hopkins is a first ballot HOF then you're ******ed at best but the dude can click a post button so I'm going with everyday racism.

    hundreds of people are threatening you on this forum? And nobody has done anything?

    wow, I had no idea it was that bad. Do you mean REAL THREATs or those stupid threats that emotional guys claim as a threat? Big difference is why I ask. A guy on here told me he would BREAK ME if I came at him, that's not a THREAT in my opinion as if I am coming at a guy he has every right to attempt to BREAK ME. However, if I was a emotional coward I would become defensive aggressive about it and cowardly claim I was being threatened.

    you better not be twisting your words while making such powerful claims. Not saying that you are, just giving you the chance to think about exactly what it is your saying so as we can all understand you more clearly.

    calling out racism can be racist if the dude calling it out has his head even partially stuck up his ass in confusion. So don't go making 100% rules to get out of jail free (symbolic jail, lol)

    which of course wouldn't mean you weren't right about in your assumptions about some individuals, it means you would be incorrect about your assumptions against all individuals that didn't like Hopkins.

    second of all, I think Hopkins is a first ballot HOF so again, stop with the BLIND assumptions against anyone that has a issue with Hopkins. Its what helps perpetuate more closed minded racism to ebb and flow back and forth.

    Yes. This coming from someone who's not a huge fan of him as a fighter or a person. Most of those losses you can't really hold against him, and MOST if not all a solid case can be made for him winning those fights when he was a younger man. He was at his best at a MW, but what he accomplished as an old fighter(late 30s-mid 40s) mostly as a LHW isn't too shabby either. Between his overall accomplishments and consistency/longevity, how can anyone not give him his due? You don't have to be a fan or even like someone to give them credit.....

    What's not to love? The man was an X-con, a dirty fighter in the ring, and in denial about all of his losses. It's possible he fakes injuries or the severity or them too. Oh, he had to add racial garbage in some of his fights. And he was rather boring in most of his matches.

    If there's such a thing as karma, Popkins went out of boxing head over heels, so to speak.

    As I said before I think the totality of his career is good enough for the hall of fame, but the Popkins isn't a top 10 ATG at any weight class and is a bit over rated.
