Thats cold. At least Max and his dead brother tried to help us black people out. It obvious Max was down for the hip hop and lived in Jones jock strap but its better than hearing some redneck sportscaster. James Butler or whatever his name was is a fcked punk for doing what he did to Max's brother. I think his was naive.
I wouldn't say Stephen Smith is clueless about boxing. He writes for a Philly newspaper and has written about Hopkins fairly extensively. I've also seen him write a number of other boxing articles for his newspaper, as well as interview quite a few boxers on his now defunct talk show. As far as mainstream writers/sportscasters go, he is quite knowledgeable and keen on boxing.
