Would Bernard Hopkins have had a successful career without illegal tactics?

[The Hammer]

Bernard Hopkins is the master of illegal ring tactics.

But with HONEST referees, if he had to fight WITHIN THE RULES, would he have had much success as a boxer?

Could he have made it on boxing skills and athleticism, like prime Roy Jones Jr?

[hhs661]

No, dude. He sucks.

Happy?

[ИATAS]

Obviously. Watch his fights with Tito, Oscar, Pavlik, Tarver, and Pascal and tell me he won because of illegal tactics.

And for the record hardly anyone in the history of boxing was as naturally athletic as Roy Jones.

he wouldnt have been successful over the last 10 yrs without the dirty tactics

[HanzGruber]

Lol 30 years of boxing and Bernard had the ref in his pocket in every fight. Damn he has some good connections

[Daylyt]

Nope he just a fouling, ped cheat, his entire career has been a fraud, When Kovalev hammers bhop into a seizure (pray that he is okay) it will all be clear.

What illegal tactics did he use against Oscar, Eastman, Tarver, Pavlik, Pascal and Shumenov?

yeah yeah. What this boxing scholar said. He's spitting that gospel

[BostonGuy]

Let's cite some examples of fights where Hopkins employed the illegal tactics. I can't really think of any because Hopkins are usually too painful to watch

[Mr.Fantastic]

He still would, he's a great boxer. However his record wouldn't be as good and he would be more of an opportunist than he already is.


Same applies to Floyd.
