    You dont enter into any debate to "let anyone win it" ever! white or black.
    If they have won and you keep talking because you cant admit defeat then that is your one eyed shallow end of the pool mentality showing its true colours agaisnt the majority vote.
    Your statement means you are either stupid enough to lose this one all by your self right there on your first comment;
    Or I have missed the plot in which case I will appoligize.
    He was just making a joke in light of Hopkins comments about the Calzaghe fight, least that's how I took it.. Hopkins said he'd never let a white boy beat him, then later wen't on to say it wasn't a racist comment or that he didn't have racist views etc. No need to nitpick at the wording he used.
    Thank you my man. I'm glad someone got the joke.

    Why? I'd never let a black person beat me at a debate either.

    This has prob. been said already, not sure haven't read all replies...

    But I believe nationalism brings a lot of fans to the sport who might not otherwise be involved, rooting for the hometown person etc.

    The more fans walking thru the doors and tuning in on the tv for our sport the better I think, no matter how knowledgable or the reason.

    Since that i saw this Thread i knew that these could happen , i really don't like this , this is a Topic that a lot of people cant assimilate and cant make his expression at the correct way , before i made a Thread with just one Question without referring to and some friends took it at the wrong way and created an big issue and after that i deleted it , so is good sometimes to see how peoples think about different Themes , but when the thread is getting too far is better to stop........and have some Fun in Boxing Forums and that is what we are talking about BOXING......

    GOOD LUCKS MY FRIENDS.............

    Honestly, I have no bias towards nationality. Just check out my favorite fighters list.

    Julius fave fighter:
    Pacquiao
    Donaire
    Penalosa
    Concepcion
    Banal
    Bautista
    Elorde

    Also to further prove I have em not bias for my own race, just check out my opinions.

    Pac can' beat the shyt out of ali in 1 and a half round

    Donaire would ktfo tyson in 2 seconds

    Jack Johnson is Penalosa's towel boy.

    See nothing exagerated and are all facts



    p.s. sugar ray robinson can't wear elorde's g-string
