B. Hopkins: When will Pacquiao fight a Black fighter?

[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.

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!

Raheem scored an upset on Morales. Morales had beaten Manny 10 months prior to their rematch. I am not sure what makes you think a fighter gets old overnight. Why would Manny not want to avenge his loss against the fighter who handed him the defeat? Would it have answered more questions if he fought Raheem?

Sometimes, I swear, Manny Pacquiao can do NO right in people's book. Let it go, man. He's only human, and his promoters set up the fights.

So I guess we should all say Manny "ducked" Raheem? Also, He also hates black people everywhere and uses PEDs.

To Bernard Hopkins:

You wanna know why Manny hasn't had to fight a black guy in so long? (sure whatever Clottey doesn't count) Because all the Mexicans beat up the blacks in the lower weights. And Manny beats up the Mexicans. It's the food chain.

Hopkins is talking about a black american, not a african. He's basically saying a slick american style fighter.

What black american fighter was beaten up at the lower weights by a mexican that pacquiao faced in this silly food chain you speak of?

Yes i agree Erik Morales did look totally shot against Zahir Raheem, infact he looked terrible. But you can't blame Manny Pacquiao for fighting Erik Morales. He's a bigger name, he wanted to revenge his loss, more money, exciting, ETC.

Zahir Raheem is/was a total runner, if he would of fought Manny Pacquiao. He would of been the running man, and it would of been a terrible fight. Hell even though Erik Morales was past it, he still gave a very good showing in the 2nd fight.

A hell of alot more effort, than Zahir Raheem could ever dream of.

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.

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.

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.

It's a good job Bernard Hopkins keeps reminding us he was black, I'm sure most of us would've forgotten.

Dunno if anyone in the states saw this, from a couple of years back.



Never stops using the race card and there is absolutely no need to. It's very weird.

Hope Pascal sends him into retirement.

Oh that bastard in the vid deserves nothing less than that from Hopkins...the only way that video makes me happy is if the thing ends up engulfed in flames with the two of them stuck inside it

Like the homie O said,

Pac got no problem fighting Africans . He gave Dominicans a try. But he got his ass whooped and almost started to cry. So he never went back. Thus the ducking of Joan Guzman.

He hasn't attempted Cubans or African Americans at all, at least not anyone we know. Picking David Diaz over Joel Casamayor and Nate Campbell (the real Champions) was just shameful. His fanbase excuse doesn't even work there. Both clearly trump David fukkin Diaz.

It must really be hard on you that another ES-A joined the victim list.

Blame it on promoters. Nate was a Don king fighter.... He didn't get any good fights after the title win, but based upon his performance in every fight since beating Baby bull, he's shot and it wouldn't have mattered. Plus he's not a slick "black" fighter.

Casa would have been good, but he never had big payday fights. If he was Arum promoted, he might have gotten that fight. After Diaz, Pac fought ODH and Hatton. 2 paydays that were more than Casa's whole career.
