Respect to you Daxx, when you're a fan of a fighter, as I know you are/were of Hopkins, it's easy to dismiss some of the things they say as just trash talk or whatever, but you fronted up and showed you stick to your princples right here.

However, I don't think that it is quite the same as Calzaghe saying he could never lost to a black man, (which would certainly cause a whole heap more uproar,) because of the historical links and white people traditionally having been the ethnic majority in most western cultures. And if he said he would never lose to a black man, he'd lose me as a fan too.

CC Man.

And CC back to you Rhun....It has nothing to do with the fact he said it in a demeaning manner towards white's...I am not even white...I am Half Mongolian half Puerto Rican...In was the racial comment or hint towards or attemp to build the fight...(depending on whose eyes it is looked upon)....

I would have felt the same way if it was a comment from him towards a latin, oriental, jewish or any other race....it's just low class.....
