Hopkins: "When Will Pacquiao Face a Top Black Fighter?" - Boxing News

The article is about how Hopkins says that Pac don't fight top black fighters, as in African Americans with that slick style. You know like the Ray Leonard style that B-Hop was talking about.

BTW, just in case someone brings up Lebwaba and Clottey, they aren't african americans. And I think when B-Hop is talking about a top black fighter, he means black american.

Well Bernard just who the fuck has he been trying to fight?

[:::PSL:::]

"I would never let a white boy beat me".

Why is color so big deal with him?

[Julius Rain]

Well onces that black boxer Floyd grows some balls and quit stalling, Pac would get to fight a black boxer. It would be a win over the best black boxer around.

It really aint about race or color, Pac is just a Beast. You can hit him but he too will hit you and it comes in combos.

How can you be slick and elusive against a fast combo artist like pac. You got 12 rounds to try and survive but it will be hell. Floyd knows this.

Last time I checked Manny has been trying to fight the top "Black Boxer" for 2 years now.

It's funny how the longer these guys like Hopkins stick around the more you turn against them. I use to be a huge BHop fan but he just needs to disappear sooner rather than later. I hope to God Pascal kicks his freckin" butt next month.

...And he will.

Wasn't Clottley Nigerian? Or similar.

That makes him more black than an African American surely?

Racist bullshit that I'm sure we'll hear more of from Floyd soon.

[Chrislfc17]

Why's he so hung up on colour? Does it matter what colour skin a boxers is? I agree with jdonaher1, the longer these old guys stay around the more I dislike them. I had loads of respect for B-Hop (still do as a boxer) but why does he need to open his mouth? He just sets himself up to be shot down.

[SweetPea]

This is Bhop stupidly discussing race, when he should instead be saying that Pacquiao hasnt beaten a topnotch fast defensive fighter, many of whom have happened to be black

[JonesJrMayweather]

BHop's lack of vocabulary and intelligence just means he's wondering when will pacman face a slick boxer, seeing as how they kept him away from Zahir Raheem after Raheem clearly schooled Morrales. They chose to face the obviously faded and done Morrales.

[Conrad]

B-Hop is a prick, plain and simple! The whole "never get beaten by a white guy" things just proves it.

The reason Pac hasn't fought many black Americans is basically down to size. The lower weight classes are mostly made up of Latinos and Asians, simple as.

Not to mention the very man he's trying to fight is the definitive black boxer of the modern era!

WOW! What a really good point.

How about whenever Floyd Mayweather signs and step into the ring with him.

So elaborate on this Black American who has "Ray Leonard style". Clottey don't count because he doesn't have Black American style and he's not African American? And the black American styles are like Floyd Mayweather, Zab Judah or Shane Mosley; Whatever the hell that means?

A Boxer style is not 'race' based. It is relative to the individual's experience and development as a boxer. Example: Muhammad Ali and George Forman are both Black but have completely different styles and both were top Black American fighters.

BTW: If Clottey is already an American citizen he is an "African-American" Black American's born in the US have roots that come from many different Nations and not just the African content.

[El Kabong]

You aren't a color or a country or anything but a boxer when you step in the ring at that high of a level.

[Ant Live]

B-Hop is crazy and shouldn't have brought race into the ring. But what people don't realize, B-Hop is a business man. Although Shane is not under the GBP tent, B-Hop might still be invested. And I believe B-Hop gets a check if Manny fights Floyd just because Floyd will be co-promoter by GBP.
Also, don't think that it isn't beyond Floyd to make a phone call to B-Hop to help get under Pacman's skin and to sell even more tickets.

B Hop. All time great now just a daft racist.
