I take what he said with a grain of salt. It was really no big deal and with the over use of political correctness out there these days it was kind of refreshing. I'm as white as you can get and not offended as long as it was only a one off remark.

I do wonder if Joe would have said "And I will never lose to a black man" back to Bernard if he would have been called out by the media on it?

The one thing that bugs me about this is, if Bernard and Calzaghe end up trying to sell this fight as being some race war ethnic bullshit, like Cooney/Holmes was, they both deserve to have their licenses suspended. We are supposed to be way beyond that BS and it should not be tolerated.
