One of this generations best tactician and defenseman got royally screwed as Hopkind fouled and warned 190000000 times, he was hitting Wright everywere except legally... Wright isint a dirty fighter nor does he have the rep as one, so it wasnt like Hopkins was fighting fire with fire.. Wright got screwed and Hopkins was allowed to be a cheating fuck.

    Consequenlty he cheated his balls off aginst Tarver too but no one cared since it was Tarver, But Hopkins fouled that whole fight too..

    He fouled him in every clinch all 5000000000000 of them... Hopkins is dirty and implemented more fouling to compensate for age and deteriorating athleticism over the past few years... End of Story dude

    Your allowed to clinch for a minute,and if you think youd survive for 5 minutes at the Blue Horizon not clinching,your only fooling yourself.
    Bringing up the Tarver fight,where Bernard was fighting away is ludicrous.

    And what was Tyson complaining about right before he took a chunk at of Holyfields ear?
    Head butts
    Holyfield even head butted Jeremy Bates for gods sake

    Dude is your brain already starting to atrophy from all that Tofu? What the hell does this staement have to do with the topic...
    Fact#1

    Hopkins was showing his age against Taylor, he was starting slow and trying to conserve and it cost him, this trend was becoming progressively stronger, until he fought Tarver and was content with tucking his head and throwing one right hand at a time, clinching holding and hitting.. Wash, rinse and repeat... Same thing against Wright.. Albeit they were all southpaws so I can see him utilizing the straight right, but Christ all mighty!!! He was throwing 15 punches per round and only 3 were legal

    Yor really full of shit on this one, seen the fight 5 times and that didnt happen, no more than any other fighters getting an inadvertent clash

    If you dont like Holy then just admit it, but dont pontificate the dirtiest player in the game Ric Flair Hopkins, and then dig on Holyfield.. It looks supremely fanboyish and nuttugging

    Favorites-I'm just gonna go with guys that are fighting or on the brink of retirement

    Juan Diaz-don't really care so much if he's a good role model, just enjoy watching him fight

    James Toney-favorite fighter ever, brilliant to watch, impeccable moral compass and fiber and all that.

    Bernard Hopkins-I get why people don't like him, but I became a fan early and I'm a loyal fan if anything

    Peterson Brothers-like watching them fight.

    Evander Holyfield-round ten of Bowe-Holyfield I, etc.

    Kelly Pavlik-Pretty fun to watch.

    I'm tired of thinking, I'm sure there's more

    Least favorites

    Wladimir Klitschko-I'm not really concerned that he's not American, I can't have a list of fighters that I dislike and not have him on it, its just not right. Just to conform that little bit to the rules I won't include Daniel Ponce de Leon. Or Sam Peter.

    Zahir Raheem-Boring boring boring, clench fall down clench fall down, whine.

    Rocky Juarez-Has thrown 8 punches in his last 14 fights combined.

    I'm sure there's more.
