The Reality Hopkins must face

I believe all these matches would be very competitive. By no means would Haye win easily. He was on the floor against Mormeck, and has proven to be chinny. If you watch Houck beat Tokarev, you will realize how good he is. I believe Dawson is very vulnerable. A weight drained Adamek dropped him. Dianocou has tremendous power. I could see him stopping Dawson. Have you seen Erdei box? Very skilled. What makes you think Dawson is superior to these guys?

 

I have seen every one of Hopkins fights since he became IBF middleweight champion. His level of competition over the years is relatively weak and has caused most Americans to overrate him. At 43 his reflexes and stamina are diminished. Calzaghe is in his prime. A bad beatdown is forthcoming. Deep down Hopkins knows it. It is why he may avoid the contest.

 

I believe the Hopkins comment racialized this fight. However, the myth that black fighters are better than white or latin or asian fighters is just that a myth. This is being proved out in the real world. Look at recent fight results and champions and rankings. Also look at Mixed Martial Arts.

So stop saying things like "overall more great blacks". Just not accurate.
