yeah I agree I think some of the silly racist comments he made were playing in the back of his mind the whole time. Ive always been a big hopkins fan but during the whole Calzaghe build up and fight I lost alot of respect for him. the whiteboy comment was such an embarrasing thing to say especially for a 43 year old man to say. then in the post fight interview he tells the crowd that they just watched a execution the old fashion way. When anyone who knows anything about boxing actually saw a ugly fight where calzaghe just edged hopkins by 1 or 2 rounds.
