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

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?

"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.

Yeah genius...how can you be slick and elusive and survive Pac...wait a minute...Marquez did it twice. Stop being a nuthugger. It's easy to give "hell" to fighters that are slow and walk into your punches. Don't jump off a bridge when Floyd does what Marquez did except 100 times more effectively.

JMM wasn't slick or elusive, he counter punched his way throughout 12 rounds. What the fuck are you talking about?

Floyd wont even get in the ring with pac cause he knows he aint going to be 100 times more effective against pac.

Your the one nuthugging floyds pussy where there once balls.

If Hopkins wasn't an ATG boxer, he'd be just another loudmouth, racist jerk. So basically, he's just a loudmouth, racist ATG boxer. It should surprise no one that Hopkins says things like this. It's ALL about race with him. He reminds me of old Larry Holmes, except that I don't dislike Hopkins as much as I TRULY DISLIKE Holmes. But what else to expect from Hopkins? He's a street dude... self-made... has done his time... shoots from the hip, pays little or no attention to how people might think or feel. Well, actually it's about race and MONEY. He's always quick to point out that boxing is a business, which in itself isn't so bad except that you sort of wish that fighters would at least PRETEND to care about the sport itself. Once in awhile Hopkins crude candor can be refreshing, but most of the time it comes across all wrong, which is why many people dislike the guy.

Yeah. If JMM was so elusive then how come he got knocked down 5 times (counting the one when he held the rope) against Pac?










Even a slow Barrera caught him with a good one (or two)



Plus Pac fought him twice in their best weight class. Floyd fought him at Floyd's best weightclass after he cheated JMM at the weigh-in scale.



Floyd is catchable too...

Simmer down and get Pac's balls out of your dirty mouth. JMM isn't slick compared to Floyd...but than again, no one is. Marquez, out of all the fighters Pac has faced, made him miss the most and countered him the best. Now, try to wrap this around your pea sized brain. Floyd is a better athlete than anyone Pac has faced. He is more intelligent and more skilled. Pac could have fought him earlier but he was scared of a needle. When they do fight...and they will, because it will be one of the biggest pay days of all time...there will be no stationary target to make your glorified hero look good.

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

Why is color so big deal with him?

He's a 45 (46?) year old black man from a major American urban center. Given the era he grew up in, race almost certainly played a huge role in his life as he grew up.

[0james0]

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
