            Boxing Great the real “ Executioner” Bernard Hopkins has been the talk in You Tube by Boxing sportcasters and analysts lately. The best in his Middleweight category, disciplined and one of the most respected boxer in  the sport, boxing insiders can’t just take lightly his commentary on boxing.

            His bottom line: Manny Pacman Pacquiao is alright undoubtedly today’s world’s greatest. But he’s beatable! And who could they be? African-American boxers, no less. No way  Pacman could stand messing up with them. He did fight Joshua Clootey. Yes. He was black,  a Ghanian but not an  American, Hopkins defended. Another broadcaster, hinted that it’s probably  the reason why he ducked the offer of squaring off against Shane Mosley because of  the perception  of possible offset Manny might suffer against the hungry Mosley. And the possible  meeting with Money Mayweather? No way he could beat Floyd Mayweather, was undoubtedly the clincher. Incidentally, the latest entry in Bleacher sports carried that headline singing familiar tune that its Pacman ducking Mayweather!

Pacman have beaten all those Mexican Greats because their styles fed on him, he seems to guess. Predictable and seemingly can’t pull their triggers, great coach Freddie Roach already seconded their performance  lackluster  fists conking out and  intimidated everytime facing the beast Pacman in the ring. Naturally they all just fight for fun and money running scared to death or met their fate sealed earlier  demolished for good ending as statistics in boxing history. These are the tell-all reality with Manny winning in a row all those crucial fights against them  punctuated with his latest methodical and brutal demolition of Tijuana Antonio Margarito who it seems as indicated from his latest medical report might hang his boxing gloves for good because of cracked cranium and other heavy toll his body suffered  from the severe beatings from Pacman.

African-Americans could give Pacman’s money run. They are skillful like street pugilists in the mold of Manny and whose talents are borne out of  naked survival of the fittest just like Manny, Hopkins cleared. Blah, blah, blah. That’s why he stands losing in fighting Mayweather, he predicts.

 How unfortunate Hopkins is with his latest assertion. Well maybe, because he has been there almost in the ringside in all of Manny’s fight. But where is that American Floyd when all he needs to do is just sign the contract and from there  let the whole world know and be entertained who would be there left standing in the ring! Indeed, what is there to prove more for Manny? Our camp  doesn’t buy that trash talk. Manny fights regardless of creed, race, color  and religion, Michael Kroncz, Manny’s adviser elaborated. He did and many of them blacks and or mixed colors their names hard to remember but mostly  all ended up knocked out.

            Why all this talk on the supremacy of African-American boxers. Sounds like Hitler’s double glorifying the superiority of  German’s blood against the Semitic and Aryan race. If Hopkins is worth his salt he should bring them on. But why all this talk of mountain out of molehill creating much ado against nothing. African-Amerians already have been excelling in many sports. Unfortunately, they don’t have monopoly of them. The best proof of this is   Manny Pacquiao. Good that he acknowledged Manny’s greatness in boxing.  But the better for him to be serious or he would be charged as racist.

            The comment might have pricked the ire of coach Freddie Roach that Bleacher’s Sports readily picked up his pronouncements and posted it in  that Manny could also beat Bernard Hopkins. The two commentators are even insinuating that Sugar Ray Leonard might fight against Manny as if to vindicate their hypothesis that Pacman is far better than Roberto Duran.   

How outrageous the talk show was. The discussion seems to be running a vicious circle.  And this is not good for Manny. Let them just bite the dust. For what really is there to prove for Manny. As journeyman in the ring, he has already fought different boxers from proud Latinos to black pugilists. The best the camp of Bernard Hopkins could do  is to bring them on. If not, the better  they  do is  swallow their saliva and shout up. Life is boxing. Definitely, God did not choose a race to monopolize it let alone, force the issue that  African-Americas have the license that they are the anointed ones. Crazy!  Incidentally, Pacman has been there proving them dead wrong!
