    He's hyping the fight, he did the same thing against Winky we he shoved him. Personally It doesn't really matter its a fight, say whatever you want just back it up.

    Still no excuse, he should be shunned until & unless he has a formal apology news conference to apologize to all the white boxers & boxing fans that made him rich. Even then, many won't be fooled...................remember Imus?

    Hopkins is a Philadelphia garbage thug. I can't believe some of you are surprised.

    Just fight hype people, take it easy. B Hop and Golden Boy know how to sell a fight. Remember the flag incedent.

    the comment doesn't bother me at all.maybe if you came from where bernard came from upbringing and all that then you could understand it.i certainly don't think hopkins would have meant it in a rascist way.what i would imagine is that he means there aren't many good white fighters in the usa,traditionally.sort of like all the best basketball players are black.

    I'm a fan of both Calzaghe and Hopkins. Hopkins is past it and Joe would kill Bernard if they ever fight.

    What hopkins said doesn't bother me in the least. He's trying to hype the fight. The comment was for the public. If they were sitting down having a few jars, the remark would probably never get made.

    Everybody's getting way too worked up about a piece of meaningless banter.

    BHop's not any more racist than Don Imus was. (And what a load of over-hyped shyte that was).

    In the immortal words of Rodney King: Can't we all just get along.

    BTW, are you sore at Bernard because he finally got to make some of what he was worth and joined GBP, or is it because he whupped Tito so one-sidedly?

    You know what -- you guys convinced me. No excuses for it. I don't buy B-Hop as a racist but I will pledge not to buy the fight because I don't want to support the race card as a marketing strategy.

    He did fight scared against Taylor. :lol: I said that on the night of the fight. I am glad a real boxer with ring exp confirmed it.
