Re Hatton at No 3: Half a minute before the low blow from Hatton Kostya delivered a low punch to Hatton's nuts, and Hatton retaliated. It's easy to edit the bits you want. Also in the clinches Kostya was hitting off the break just as much as hatton. As someone above said, you could probably list hundreds of boxers who are 'dirty' B-Hop was relentless in every fight in terms of using every trick in the book, although mad man Golota should have the No 1 spot.
Hopkins is really a case of mind over matter but he's also the roughest ( not exactly the dirtiest) and he has the masterful guile to pass doin it. Actually Bernard fought a lot of dirtier opponents in Antwon Echols and Robert Allen... He just dismantled most using rough tactics and not dirty moves in the real sense of the word, specially against Mercado in the second fight, John David Jackson, Vanderpool, Keith Holmes, and Winky Wright. These days, he outhinks ya and executes unless you wanna go down to street rules and then you're done, baby.
Exactly. Guys like Barrera, Hopkins and Holyfield foul but they do it with style plus they are greats. A stinking turd like John Ruiz on the other hand has no redeeming factors about him and should be #1.
Why isn't Tyosn on that video? He's arguably the dirtiest fighter. He bit Holy's ear off, he bit Lennox's leg & McBride's nipple. He also tried to break Lou Savarese's arm and tried similar against Botha.
Ricky HAtton is ****in disgrace..:--( he had to do everything to beat faded like hell Kostya, dirty *****...
Cintron keels completely over to avoid punches and than complains when he gets hit in the head. Of course, Margo's gloves were almost certainly loaded here. But he did the same thing against Martinez recently. Which Hopkins fight was that? Was Hopkins deducted points are penalized in any way?
