And Calzaghe had the perfect retort: "I'll never lose to a white boy, either. Or a black boy, or a green one"
Quality. I wasnt aware that Calzaghe had responded to Hopkin's retarded statement - which certainly was rascist. That quote from Calzaghe, if true (and I have no reason to doubt it) makes me have 10x the respect I had for Calzaghe.
Good on Calzaghe. Great example of intelligence prevailing over ignorance. To be fair we're relatively lucky in this country re: rascism. America on the other hand...
It wasn't his immediate retort when Hopkins made that remark, he said it at a later press conference. So he had time to think of it, but still it was the perfect rebuttal.
