His attempt at humor failed miserably ;D

He is just taking the piss. His whole team is white!

Its just a piss take at the shit Hopkins came out with.

That's what I thought.

Here's a link to his instagram where the videos originated - Instagram

TheBoxingTribune/BoxingMemes spliced together a few of his instagram videos to make him look bad.

I've no problems with that unless he calls me white trash whilst aiming a gun at me. Hyping a fight and acting silly is par for the course isn't it?

Its amazing. Could you imagine the stick a white guy would get if he said I will never lose to a black man?

Darn oppression of the white man. SMH

Seemed to me like he said it a bit tongue and cheek as well, no big deal. He almost definitely shouldn't be fighting at a high level imo, but no reason to assume he's a bad dude or anything, we don't know what happened the night he was arrested.

Is fighting Sam Soliman fighting at a high level though?

He could win a title here and then maybe Cotto?

Im surprised everyone seems to have forgotten about Solimans drug cheating...

I don't know, but it's still a world title and Taylor probably shouldn't be in that picture. Soliman being old and a non puncher might let Taylor compete or even win, but we haven't seen him fight a decent opponent since his bleeding on the brain and all of that. He was hurt badly against another club fighter on ESPN in one of his return bouts, I wouldn't be surprised to see him get hurt in this fight even, he's a liability.

I hadn't forgotten about the drugs either, pretty suspect that Soliman is even still around at his age with the way he fights.
