    I don't see hopkins getting his ear bitten off even though he is known to head-butt opponents either intentionally or by accident. Didn't he head-butt both Calzaghe and Wright hard as hell. And I think Winky's eye split up with blood if I remember correctly and it was from a head-butt or was it just a clash of heads?

              Was ruled accidental.

              IMO, alot of these Hopkins head-butts are nonsense.se. He always get's on the inside fully, which results in clashing heads, with hum head butting someone, or someone head-butting him.

              Holyfield on the other hand, like against Tyson, was running in with his head. Needs to put a glove on that thing.

                  He never gets too carried away when he wins anything, and when things dont go his way he dont get too angry either. He just stays calm and whatever happens happens. He's just a nice guy.
