I think its funny that Hopkins made the stupid comment, “I would never lose to a white man!” Well, sorry Bernard, you got your ass kicked by a white guy. If Joe would have made the same comment, only reversed, he would have been crucified by the media and the general public, but because Bernard said it, its ok. Hopkins regularly shows just how unintelligent he is, and always denies his losses. He said that he made Joe look like an ametuer, when nothing of the sort transpired. I thought it was a good fight, relatively close, but obviously Joe won the fight. Perhaps Bernard should return to prison, as he seems best suited for that kind of environment. He’s a very talented fighter, but dishonors himself, and the sport on a regular basis by cheating, and comporting himself as a common street thug would. Retire Bernard! You’ve made your mark on the sport, now step aside and face reality. You’re done!
