Comments Thread For: Bernard Hopkins: Black Fighters, We Are Built Differently

[Michael Hall]

tennis does require more athleticism than basketball depending on the position

are you telling me shaq is more athletic, more agile, has better footwork and

quickness to run down balls full speed full sprint break his feet down and hit a

110 mph forehand to the corner than pete samprass did???

no fuuuuuukn way

are you telling me tim duncan and his slow as feet are more athletic than roger

federor???

no way...

was michael jordan the greatest ball player of all time yes

but did he have better handles, better dribbling ability than steve kerr?

nope..


this argument can go back and forth forever because what bernard said is untrue

Athleticism , as it is defined in sports, is different than strength or skill.

I don't know why the whites get their feelings so hurt because the blacks are dominating sports. It's funny. I guess the blacks dominate the sports that matter to whites.

Since you're so adimant about looking stuff up.Why don't you look up the definition of athleticism.Please show me where it says that it only pertains to running and jumping.Go ahead...ill wait.Usain Bolt is the FASTEST man on land.Michael Phelps is the fastest man on water.Or does he not count b/c it doesn't require running or jumping?

Why all of you leave outside the sport that is one of the most rough and athletic on the planet and 95% of the players are white ?Selective much again?

In rugby u do not see these fat gross black men with some huge bellies hanging like in the NFL, so where is the athleticism there?

The fat gross black men that you refer to in the NFL are called LINEMAN. Lineman are ideally 300 pounds or better.

What position in rugby requires the athletes to be 300 pounds or more?

Even with all that being said, I bet a lineman like Julius Peppers is just as athletic as any rugby player today.

Mate why blacks won only 11% of medals in the Olympics of 2008, why only 106 medals from the 957 given in all sports?

Being so naturally athletic and gifted and still win the lowest % of medals in all sports, make y'all look kinda....................lame you know

how many swimming teams exist in the inner city???? i grew up in nyc and i can tell u now at least 50% of the ppl i grew up with cant even swim.

The NFL Combine can gauge "relative athleticism" in 3 simple tests: 40 yard dash, standing vertical jump, bench reps @ 225 lbs.

My guess? NFL coaches know more about athletic performance than you do.

nfl combine to a certain degree gauges athleticism but more so strength & speed. not all nfl players are athletic. its mostly the skilled positions. nfl is more brute strength & speed.

soccer players & nba players are more athletic than nfl players & their sport requires more athleticism & skills than the nfl.

ur wrong. there are a number of football positions that require athleticism. in all of those positions, the best players of all time are overwhelmingly african american.

Man i am European, i love soccer, rugby, cricket, tennis , MMA, boxing, Kickboxing, Formula 1 and Moto Gp, name one that blacks are dominating please LMAO

Owned again

What is the black population of your country? 2%? 5%? 10%?

Yet, somehow, there are blacks dominating even in Formula 1.
