If you ain't bending the rules you ain't trying~
Does anyone feel Andre Ward is much dirtier than Bernard Hopkins?

Hopkins was much worse when he was younger, I have seen him body slam at least two people, end up outside the ring, and make out he was too injured to carry on, which I never brought, he also hit Kieth Holmes in the balls how many times, tried the same tricks with Echols to if I recall, also, I seem to recall a big welt on Joppy's head or eye, and that was a fight that was full of rough house tactics by Hopkins.
Hopkins was one dirty mofo back in the day.Comment

Tell u what disappointed me about Hopkins, I heard him say before, if I get rabbit punched, hit low, what ever, I wont complain to the ref, I will just get on with it, if you wanna take it to the alley, fair enough, words to that effect anyway, only I have seen!! him complain to the ref about something like that, cant recall which fight it was, but it really disappointed me having said what he said in that particularly interview.
Hold on, it could of been Echols 2, I think he tried to get a point taken, or get him D'Q'd or some ****, he was acting all hurt if I recall, a bit like what he was doing in the Jones rematch.Comment

Ward is a joke, dude fights dirty. To his fans, no disrespect to you but I'm just not a fan of his....AT ALL. BHOP is sneaky and dirty but he has paid his dues to fight that way, Ward is young, fresh, and has no need to fight this way except to cheat his way to a victory.....easy to do in your hometown with homecooked refs and judges.Comment

Tell why Hopkins gets away with it? cause he initiates it.
Hopkins will consciously hit you in the balls on the blindside of ref, and cause he does it on the blindside all the time, he gets away with it, and the opponent who is on the receiving end, who is trying to fight fair, stick to the rules, gets disgruntled that Hopkins is consistently getting away with it, so they seek retribution, but this usually happens out of a build up of frustration, of not being protected by the ref, which is why when they seek their retribution, they are so frustrated, they do it blatantly infront of the ref, get ticked off, or a point taken, infact I have seen it happen.Comment
