Hopkins should not have gotten to 20 defenses

[MELLY-MEL...]

neither man was very innocent, but it was a legit win for bhop imo.

[Pugilistic™]

The punch wasn't that bad really, I think he intentional fell to the floor to get points taken off or to get a DQ win.

Elchols body slam later in the fight was alot worse imo.

[Gatti9783]

There is no way in hell that he should not have gotten DQ'd against Echols for that loaded up rabbit punch in the rematch...

That's just nuts man, I can't believe Hopkins wasn't worried about accidentally killing him with that shot.

Anyone have a clip of the punch? I know Hop hit Echols while Echols was trying to complain to the ref but that's not what you're talking about right?

[Fulcrum29]

Yeah, definitely... I try to make the guys who beat my favorite fighter look as terrible as possible so that loss looks worse to everyone.

Tight logic.

But really, care to actually argue the point? Was it accidental? Are rabbit punches not a big deal? Let's go Hopkins fan... Why was it okay for Hopkins to blatantly fall Echols like that?

Echols was even dirtier in those fights so what's your point dumb ****?

[Abstraction]

We hear a lot about Joe Calzaghe's title defenses, but many of Hopkin's opponents were no better.

Leagues better than Joe's mate. Leagues better.

pfffffft, I've seen way worse than that and they never get DQ'd. At most a point deduction. Besides, Echols was fighting crazy dirty too. Good performance by bhop regardless, fun fight to watch.

so true....

The first fight was pretty dirty too, but not as dirty. It was tension still.

[El Dominicano]

Watch the 1st and 2nd fight, Echols and B-Hop, straight don't like eachother. Also remember, Echols faught just as dirty

[warp1432]

Oh and Hopkins defenses are around the same level of Joe's, with Hopkins having the better people. Hopkins also has a WAY better wins in the later part of his career.
