Comments Thread For: Hopkins Responds To Dawson's 'Dirty Fighter' Claims

[Jack Napier]

Dawson should be too quick for Hopkins
Hopkins' rough tactics occur on the inside
it's on Dawson not to let Hopkins do anything foul
if he fights smart, those tactics won't matter

B-Hop is one of if the dirtiest fighters to ever lace up a pair of boxing gloves PERIOD

Not even close. You should watch video's of old school fighters. The stuff they did and got away with makes bhop look like a Saint.

its up to the ref to enforce the rules. hopkins is a dirty fighter but he probably would never suckerpunch another boxer

[Mr. Philadel]

Hopkins has TENDENCIES to be a dirty fighter, but his tactics are so sly and deceptive you have to praise him. . . I'd rather see a guy fight a little dirty because he wants to win at all costs, than see a guy constantly tapping gloves making me feel like i'm watching two friends fight each other who don't really care to win, and are making a joke out of all the fans - laughing behind our backs all the way to the bank.

Hopkins many times isn't deceptive in the least with his dirty tactics. He flat out runs at people with his head down sometimes.

I'm not whining, but Hopkins is flat out dirty many times.

at least he's smart with his dirtiness. Rarely ever does he get docked a point for anything so you know he does it right.

Not like Victor Ortiz with that amateurish headbutt. So damn obvious and ******.

[Brother Jay]

Agreed.

BHOP and Holyfield were two of the dirtiest boxers in history. These guys use intentional headbutts, low blows, and they hold while they hit. They are notorius for being dirty. This is nothing new in the boxing community.

Both have been labeled warriors as well, but sometimes they just go way too far over the line.

Someone needs to post a pic of Hasim Rahman's head after Holyfield hit him with the head butt.

Bradley seems to be following in their footsteps. I don't think he could have beaten Campbell at his best.
