    And I notice that guys who like steroid abusers and coke addicts cheer for anything with a white face no matter how shitty their work resumes are. You can play history revisionist on this forum but the facts are the facts Hopkins is better than Golovkin and that guy gets away with fighting nobodies because the fringe white audience that's left in boxing cheers for him. Just go watch UFC if you want to be around a 100% audience that agrees with you and your covert hate. At least those guys are honest over there.

    Yes, Hopkins beat Tito, but Tito was a 147 lb. fighter, I predicted Hopkins to beat Tito right here on this board before the fight happened. Hopkins was the much bigger fighter.............

    Golovkin is, by far, the much more exciting fighter, he gets knockouts...............I like him, Eastern European fighters are hated in America.............

    I think it is a good think. It starting to show that GGG is gaining popularity. Hot fighters from the past get the same treatment, the greater the fame the greater the fans and detractors. It happened with Jones jr, Oscar, mayweather, pac...

    I got it!

    Golovkin has too much hair.

    All the well loved boxers like Holyfield, Foreman, Hagler and Hopkins have little to no hair. Damn. Took me a while, but I got it! :D

    Willie, there does not need to be animosity between whites and blacks. Please consider taking the higher road of not engaging in the race baiting that goes on here.

    I'm not a great fan of Mayweather but it's nothing to do with his race. I like or support many other black or part-black fighters including Andre Ward, Errol Spence, James DeGale, Buatsi in the amateurs, Roy Jones Jr, to name just a few. It's simply because of Mayweather's private life (some parts of which are indefensible, I'm sure you'd agree) and also because he is not TBE: he is not greater than Ali, Robinson, Louis, etc. (all of which were black anyway).

    You'll get nowhere posting sensible comments like this my friend.

    This site is the equivalent of two young toddlers screaming about which flavour ice cream is the best, despite niether of them having eaten ice cream before, and it's actually just one kid shouting at a mirror.

    another day...another bumdog joyboy trying to use the name of the great Hopkins to prop up golovkin

    if Hopkins stopped fighting after mw...after taylor...his reign would be scrutinized to holy hell these days...hed be ripped apart by hardcores....or the ESB klansmen.....the reason he ISNT is because of what he did after.......I don't need to go over that with you....those who already know are well aware and it needs no explanation....

    history wont ask why Bernard moved up....it wont ask when...it will just remember that he did....and that he lined his resume with some elite fighters from 168-175....

    these desperate losers feel embarrassed about gggs career and resume and keep clinging to the Hopkins name because hes a legend and an ATG....but let me remind you once again...it isn't because of his MW reign.....yes boxing scribes will tell you that part of his career is legendary and worthy of respect...I assure you on ESB, if there was no calzaghe fight or 175 campaign, Hopkins would be torn to shreds too.....you guys so badly want to attach gggs name to a legend...its pathetic

    ggg will never have had the nuts to take on ward at 168 and go up and go through the 175 division...heck...fonfara would eat his lunch at 175 and most of you know that.....golovkin aint built for that Hopkins life

    Why do you always criticize those who defends black fighter for getting involved in these race wars and not the posters who are for white fighters like person who started this thread. Would make more sense to address the thread starter wouldn't it?????

    attn. bumdog superfans,

    keep saying Hopkins name over and over...like 1000x...and maybe one day golovkin will be held in the same regard as him without ever having to take the fights/risks did at smw and lhw

    I was just responding regarding the "blacks hate GGG" and "whites hate Mayweather" assertion that Willie made.

    I agree that there are people who hate fighters for being black, and that is deplorable.

    The OP wasn't criticizing anyone for being black, he was merely pointing out a case of racial bias. The converse bias is also present of course and both are equally wrong.
