Calzaghe v Hopkins

I think Calzaghe will underline what a quality boxer he is. He intends retiring this year so this is probably his last or last but one fight so I'm sure he will be up for it.

Hopkin's racist attacks will also have helped focus Calzaghe.

I'm going for the complete antithesis of what you said.

Racists ftw.

Just to make it interesting.

What did Hopkins say about Calzaghe. :unsure:

Hopkins sparked controversy when he taunted Calzaghe by telling him ahead of their April 19 showdown in Las Vegas that he has never lost to a "white boy".

---

I suspect that it would have been described as racist if Calzaghe had said something like "I've never lost to a black boy".

is the fight on the tellybox?

Is it on terrestrial?

Can't see it in the listings.

Bummer if not.

Am away to watch the new Doctor Who. Newsgroups rawk.

It's on Satan tv.

Stupid O'Clock because the merkins have all the money.

I've got it but I don't know if I can be arsed staying up all night to watch. Tho' I really want to see it.

I've got stuff on tomorrow and I'll get my arse kicked if I do the shut knife thing.

True Story.

Ewe should link your fancy tellybox with it's fancy subscription channels up to the internets for us:smilie4:

Fuck knows how ewe'd do it, like, but it's probably possible.

I'll just download it in the morning and watch it after work. :smilie4:

Or stick a webcam infront of your tellybox, like.

It'll be on youtube come the morn.

I'll post it here if some other cunt doesn't, like.

Virgin provide Setanta as part of the XL package.

So I just get it.

I use the sky+ downstairs for that, like.

:lol: indeed.

You always do that disingenuous thing btw.

I've hardly got any tellies for my 50 inch box. Luckily I've got it all in another room.

if calzaghe would have said " i never lost to a brotha". to me this would be very weak racialism. not even worth that much

Fortunately he didn't say that. Tho' to be fair there was never any indication that he may do so.

Neither did he say "I've never lost to a black boy", however that's not surprising as he has never given any indication that he is a racist.

Hopkins on the other hand did say "I've never lost to a white boy". Which is clearly a racist comment.

you are right, he did make the racial comment. now if hopkins had said whitey or cracka, that to me would indicate hatred and equal racist. white boy is slang just as brotha is slang.

Saying he'd "never lost to a white boy" implied that he thinks a "white boy" isn't a challenge to him. It'd make no difference if he had said "whitey" or "cracka", the fact that he brought race into it at all is where the racism lies.

Agreed.

Calzaghe is ringside for Nathan Cleverly's fight.

He's another lad who Enzo trains.

How cool is that.

Cool as a cool thing in a cooler says I.

Agreed.

I wish busy was here to argue and say I'm wrong. I liked it when he used to imply that it was impossible to be racist against white people.:(

If a black guy falls in the woods and there's no-one to hear him, does he make a sound?

Agreed.

:yup:

hoi, jp

Based on your arguement for the scottish premier being more competitive than the english premier due to the number of top teams compared to the number of total teams in the league; would ewe say that enzo calzaghe was one of the (if not the) best bawcksing trainers in the wurld having coached a few champions from a place where there's only about 20 people?

world's longest question evar.:smilie4:

I like the Executioner. I always have. Why does he have to put
his foot in his mouth - so often?

"I say things other people won't say. Martin Luther King had that.
Marcus Garvey had that. Gandhi had that.

-Bernard Hopkins


I love how he compared himself to Gandhi. That was fucking brilliant.


It's going to be an awesome fight. Calzaghe and Hopkins both
have ginormous hearts. I'm quite fond of Joe's unorthodox style.
It will prolly give Bernard trouble. All night (all night).


I'm going with the beast from Philly ftw. Despite the afore
mentioned foot.

I hold that Bernard has faced better fighters than Joe
is a tad quicker, and he is black.
