Hopkins wants Adamek !

How do you know the Negler story was not a publicity-stunt - to show what a good guy he is - and the racist comments actually represent what he thinks? Either way, there are other / non-racist ways of hyping fights, which a sensitive guy like the Executioner should be aware of, right? So it's funny / a strange coincidence that he repeatedly chooses not to...

 

Hopkins is hilarious! I love it and want to it to happen. Go Hops!

 

i would like to see this fight. Hopkins would win but I think adamek would do significantly better then pavlik did.

 

I can't believe so many people are taking these quotes seriously. They came from boxing confidential. You can't take what that site says seriously.

 

Is n_igger acceptable as well? How about stupid, ****ing, n_igger? When does it start being racist? And yes, oddly, some people do give a flying ****... (try even using the "n_" word without the "_" and it gets automatically censored...)

I do know the story. You choose what you believe in, but that doesn't make it the truth (though I do believe BHOP was being geniune, for all it's worth).

How many people know of the Negler story? How many have heard his racist comments?

The fact that someone does something that is good, doesn't mean that you should try and justify the bad things he does. Hitler did build highways, but that doesn't give him a license to kill a few million Jews...

Dude, you've got in excess of 30k posts. You're obviously someone who does care about words, irrespective of how hard you claim otherwise...

I'm pretty sure that I could use 'just words' to offend you - and your increasingly emotional replies imply I did raise your pulse a bit... So it's either one or the other...

There is no more direct equivalent of the n-word than "white boy"... So one is wrong because of negative historical connotations, but the other is fine. If that's not full of ****, I don't know what is. But hey, it's just words - means nothing...

I can give you many stories you wouldn't have a single reason to doubt, which turned out to be false... And only a real simpleton would think that Negler's parents had to be in on this one... Ultimately the truth is in Hopkin's head and there alone.

You wish. :hi:

I understand your frustration bro and if it means anything to u i agree with you and this is coming from an African American. Although "White Boy" is not an equivalent to the N word as there are much worse than "White Boy", the way in which hopkins used it made it equivalent to it. I like Hopkins and i dont feel he is genuinly racist, but i do believe he is a complete idiot and ignorant for saying that because i know that I would be deeply affended if calzaghe would have said "I would never lose to a N_igger." It just shows that there is still a long way for us as people to go when it comes to racism. If anything i gained a ton of respect for Calzaghe for not retaliating in a racist fashion. I did not lose any respect for hopkins as he is still one of my favorite fighters, but I just think he took a real ignorant approach in hyping the fight.

 

HAHA did he really say that. If he is really willing to move up and fight someone that is the kind of fighter I want to see. Haha I wonder if he is crazy enough to go fight Wladimir at Heavyweight ahhaa

 

weakish champ? he just dominated oneil bell and cunningham 2 of the best in the cruiser division. I would pick adamek to destroy haye if they fought at cruiser. top 15 of all time? maybe not, but to call him a weakish champ is some bull****. The only ones who I would expect to call him a weakish champ is chad dawson haters.

 

No, he did not say that.

 

I suspect Hopkins is possibly on Testosterone shots and HGH. Most fighters are completely done as fighters at about 35-37 years old. HTF is Hopkins still going strong at 44-45 years old ? It don't seem right. Hopkins is an *******, a rascist and I think a cheater.

 

Then it's confirmed: Hopkins is absolutely ducking Dawson.

Still, I like BHop and there's no reason, IMO, he couldn't beat Adamaek and pick up another strap.

Let's do this!
