Bernard Hopkins now attacks the Klitschko brothers

"The Klitschko brothers are dominating. It’s not fair and it’s not fun."

"I’m not impressed with those guys,"

"They’ve got the height and good records and a Hall of Fame trainer in Emanuel Steward. But, otherwise, they’re ordinary. They ain’t special. They’re just lucky.”

Tune in tomorrow for Bernard Hopkins' thoughts on why Jack Dempsey was an overrated tomato can.

Because continues to spew stupid ass shit like this

I don't like the Klits either because think they are boring as fuck. But we all know Hops doesn't like them because they are white and beating up on black guys

yeh this seems to be Hopkins main agenda. never heard him speak negatively of a black fighter. i don't understand why Hopkins has such a massive chip on his shoulder anyway, he's enjoyed a wonderful life at the expense of a lot of white fighters. being a fighter himself you'd have thought he'd appreciate and respect what these guys have to go through to get to that level

For years, Lee has been putting out boring, shitty films but keeps his name in the spotlight with racist comments. Bernard is a better figther than Lee is a filmmaker, mind you, but he's rather boring and will never be a big PPV attraction, so this is the way he goes about getting attention.

I'm also getting the feeling that certain members of the press practice the racism of low expectations in regards to Black public figures.

i've never understood why people of this generation have such an agenda with regards to race anyway. people make an issue out of something when it isn't necessary. i don't understand it if i'm honest. i don't understand why there is still such bitter feelings from a man that has everything a normal person, black or white, could ever dream of. Hopkins has been fortunate enough to live in a country where he has been able to do that so why the massive chip on his shoulder still?
