Hopkins remark was a comment plain and simple.

For a boxer like Hopkins to say that regarding a fellow fighter he's trying to make a fight with is no more racism than a disgruntled employee telling a coworker that the boss is a c*** is an incitement to rebellion and mutiny within the workplace.


Hopkins may not be a racist but in truth comments like that do not come out unless somewhere inside you have a small hint of those feelings...There may hve been a part of it for hype but you know what resorting to such things to sell a fight makes it even lower in my book......You have F'IN Millions of dollars your nor your family is starving now or will they ever inb the future....And iof you feel the need to make comments like that to help cash another paycheck then that brings you down even another rung in the ladder
