    What is it then?

    If the shoe was on the other foot, is that too not racist?

    Oh he will be remembered and for many reasons, positive ones greatly overshadowing the negatives. It's trash like you that will never be remembered.

    Of course he'll be remembered as the excuse making egotist and in-the-ring dirtier-than-Pigpen's-knickers cerebral assassin he always was, boxing's own Ric Flair, but like Naytch his legacy will still loom tall (higher than all but a very small handful of his peers through history) in spite of that.

    He will be remembered for many things. The good,the bad and the ugly and this a far from gracious swansong but his accomplishments over such a length of time can't be denied.

    If you were familiar with American culture you would know better. The people who get mad about "white boy" being used over here are usually closet racists. Me personally I tend to refer to white men, as white man, or white guy if it is a situation where a racial differentiation needs to be made. I've used the term "white boy" before. As have white men around me. It was never viewed as a derogatory thing in places I've lived. There are plenty of instances where white men have even referred to themselves as "white boy."

    As far as you knocking anyones teeth out. :risas3:

    It's likely hard to understand if you don't live in the states. I don't know why it's like that. But black people can call a white man a "white boy." In most cases it's not viewed as being racist. It is just part of cultural slang. Many white people even refer to other white's as "white boy." around Blacks. And yeah, due to the history in this country, a white man calling a black man "boy" is racist. You would probably have to ask a sociologist who studies American culture that question for a better answer.

    It's definately 1 trillion percent racist even if not all white men realise it

    And you only weigh 175 your teeth would be easy to knock out of your head

    Gotta argue with you there. Would a racist do what Bernard did for that kid in his gym years ago ?
    kid got cancer Bernard paid for all his treatments & sat with him . He didn't ask for publicity he did it out of the kindness in his heart When he passed Bernard paid for his funeral & all other expenses, This was, as you dissed Bernard for saying , A White Boy
    Bernard Hopkins is a LEGEND truly one of the greatest of all time Enjoy your retirement Bernard You Earned It

    We will continue to disagree on the first. I'd hope so. Besides the fact that I'll never meet you, I'd feel bad embarrassing you like that. ;)
