I'd have to say yes as I've always been a B-Hop fan..Like they say, if you ain't cheatin' you ain't tryin'.

i cant ****ing stand them......i dont hold it against guys wo do it sparingly or accidentally, like cotto, castillo, pavlik.....though they do irk me a little when the foul.....

but i detest those guys who base their style on fouling:

hopkins
hatton
ruiz

they should erase their careers from the record books...

It's a fight man. I don't condone blatant cheating like lowblows and such that is just uncalled for. However a good old punch to the hip while the ref isn't looking, maybe an elbow or two, and even the good old shoulder push right into a left hook can all work. You can bend the rules to your benefit, and manipulating that aspect is an art in itself.

it depends to what extent.

I expect most fighters to bend the rules.

but there's a point where it's just too much.

Fights such as Gainer-Norwood, Pedroza-Laporte, Golota-Pouha....those guys shouldve been DQd

A lot of low blows often involve a lot of theatrics from the victims. Headbutting and elbows though are very damaging and under penalized. And personally I don't have a problem with steroids and HGH. I just assume everyone is using them anyways.

i cant satnd rabbit punches......probably the most allowed of fouls.....and they're more dangerous than lowblows...

Every great fighter bends the rules. Ali, Robinson, Holyfield, Tyson, whatever.

Sometimes it's too much.
