Answer 1

Listen people..it doesn't matter what who said who cares?? The fact is if you bet against hopkins I hope you have some money saved up because you will lose. Who has JC fought compared to who BH has fought?? manfredo? bika (who is great but not top material)? c'mon people....dnt sleep on hopkins.....

Hopkins wins split decision

Answer 2

Does this surprise anyone here ? Um, he took the  Puerto Rican Flag out of Trinidad's hand and threw it on the floor.

It's just a ploy that he has always used to generate more interest. Don't take him too seriously. He is going to get pummeled!

Answer 3

I would have been cheering for hopkins had he not made that comment. As and American I want to see Calzaghe beat the tar out of hopkins.

Answer 4

I didn't hear it, but if he did, I hope Killa Cal beats him down!

Answer 5

any true boxing fan knows hopkins loves to disrespect  others. remember the riot in puerto rico with tito- he stomped on the p.r. flag. his time is over with.he is old and every one of his fights are boring, but you cant sleep on his ability. he can fight. joey is a great boxer he beat manfredo jr.- who cares! its all about selling seats and ppv. no knock outs here. hopkins has that jail mentallity. hopkins will win. dont be a sucker dont watch this fight.

Answer 6

Eh...who cares..makes the fight more interesting. its BOXING, fight is gunna be good though and the best part its not PPV!, and 2morrow the Cotto fight isint PPV either, h**l YES!

Answer 7

yep and hes about to eat his words

Answer 8

Little peaice of advice "Dont bet against Hopkins"

Answer 9

Im a little confused was the comment even racist...as a white person i dont feel racially abused by what Hopkins said, but every little comment that Hopkins makes like this will just make him look like even more of an idiot when he gets punished in the ring!

Answer 10

Yah, Bernard Hopkins said that.  I'm normally immune to prefight hype and all the BS that goes with it.  But Hopkins crossed the line, as he said it directly to Calzaghe's face.  He was trying to bait JC into saying something that would have used the double standards between races as a tool to paint Calz as racist.  Hop came off as a jack ****, and really isn't smart enough to run his mouth in any kind of way.  The mouth is engaged, the brain is out to lunch.  Check it out.

Answer 11

Bernard Hopkins is one the realest persons you will ever meet.

He speaks nothing but the truth and never holds back words.

Answer 12

Yeah, Bernard actually said "No white boy would ever beat him", but some how I don't think Calzaghe was impressed.

Answer 13

I like Hopkins and dont agree with the remark he made. I dont pay no mine to what he siad. Its his problem, he dont get why we call it the United States. On a persional level, I play my part by keeping it UniteddddddddddddddStates and loving others. I believe Hopkins will win the fight. Calzaghe is to soft and haven't fought the tipe of guy's Hopkins fought. If Calzaghe wants to win, he better stop that pit pat punching and puts some power behind it. Anything can happen in boxing.

Answer 14

Yep he shouldent of said that im not sure if Hopkins is a racist or not. I dont think that he hates white people as such, but he probably belives that he wont lose to a white guy which is a racist way of thinking to an extent. I think those words will come back to haunt him, as good as Hopkins has been i can see no way he will beat Calzaghe.

Answer 15

ruddiger said it best. calzaghe will not crush him, i guarantee you that
