    It will do wonders for his bank account. And it will help his poor widdle self esteem.

    I guess , its difficult for to get the race issue in the US. I've been there loads of times but I guess you have to live it.

    Where I grew up there were only three black families and only one of those was 100% black ( both parents )

    Its hard to understand it when you haven't grown up in it.

    hopkins might have dental issues, but he definitely doesnt have self esteem issues
    TBH though, I would rather dish out the $$ to see him avenge his loss to calzhage than this jones fight

    its not "alright" in a perfect world it would never occur but because of history its kinda to be expected.

    The white dude would get crucified. I had never witnessed so much talk about racism until I moved to the USA, they love to talk about that here 24/7. (even though the slave trade and other racist acts have happened in so many other countries including mine).

    Just from observations, the black dudes can get away with it but whites can't, it's pretty dumb.

    So youre saying everything else between the two races is 100% even and this is the only imbalance ?

    I dont understand the outcry of racism about hopkins from white people
    for ****s sakes, he was pretty racial toward trinidad back in 01
    and didnt he say something along the lines of he would never lose to some country ass hick like taylor
    Imagine hopkins and ann coulter having a kid together
    that kid would be mouthy

    This is nothing new. They are all racist just like Mayweather. They think they are the superior race.

    You're right it's not the same thing at all. Still not cool though.
    "Do unto others" as they say.
    personally I couldn't give a flying nut if someone were to comment on my skin colour.
    Dunno why so many grown men moan about it on here.

    One reason why I would interpret it differently is because black fighters have been so regularly dominant champions across so many of the boxing classes for decades now and white champions have clearly been the exception, rather than the rule, that I could understand someone thinking it likely that the white fighter who is currently a champion, may not have been properly tested.

    So it has been the case that many black champions in the USA(at least), have never lost to a white fighter, but no white champion from the USA(and likely elsewhere, unless they are protected), ends up never losing to a black fighter.

    I guess Rocky Marciano is an exception to the above(but perhaps he is of Sicilian origin - think Dennis Hopper in True Romance), and Calzaghe has ended up being an exception too, but if Calzaghe had spent his career fighting in the USA instead of Europe, I doubt he would have maintained that record.

    If you wanna talk that kind of crap, go ahead but the minute they do it to you (or your race, whatever), don't get all offended, that's sad.

    Like a black person makes a joke about a white guy, then it's kind of expected for the white dude to take it and laugh or at least just take it, but don't he dare reply with a black joke himself cause that's racist!

    That's just ridiculous. The imbalance thing is irrelevant. That's on a personal level. "Hey he's white!, other whites are racist, therefore he needs to accept my joke and laugh!". That's lame.
