Without Hopkin's dirty tactics

[JLAQ]

What kind of fighter does he amount to really? Definitely not someone you would call great. Remove all those illegal blows, headbutts rabbit punches, lowblows, holding, and play-acting, he is reduced to nothing but an average fighter.

.................pretty obvious to any boxing fan that it has been much more than that tired mantra that has been Hopkins keys through career..

If you really think about it, without the dirty tactics, Taylor and Wright would've schooled Hopkins, in the same manner that Joe almost schooled him, if not for the frigging ref, who might as well have said, "We love you Nard, you're the best fighter in the world, it's a pleasure to referee your fight, I am not worthy".
