I just think that everyone looks for things to go apeshit over with & Hopkins is known for cranking up the controversy.

It's easy to say that he aint being a racist...but if the shoe was on the other foot & Gatti had said something on the color of Floyd's skin prior to there fight...Gatti'd be thought of as a Klansman.

There again...it's alright for Pacquiao to say that there isn't a Mexican alive that can beat him & that he is the "Mexi-killer"...again...personally...I think that everyone looks for things to go apeshit over.
