Hopkins isn't all to blame for the fight being so bad though.

Jones was scared to engage and barely threw any punches especially compared to Hopkins who doesn't throw alot anyway, and he fought dirty himself.

Both guys clinched alot but what did anyone expect ? both guys are 40+ years old.
I get what you say about Jones not engaging but if look at how hopkins leads with his head, it makes it impossible to get a punch off that way without getting hit with a forehead and getting busted up or even ko'ed.

He did the same thing with Calzaghe and that's the only reason he didn't get stopped in that fight. Not to mention the acting that bought him time to regain energy.

I can't take another hopkins excuse. Really I can't. When you have a guy that just about every time he fights, his fans have to make excuses, somethings wrong.

By the way,the fight with Tarver was the same crap. They all look the same bro. Don't be fooled by the commentary man.
exactlly, hopkins is a win at all costs type fighter,the ends justify the means and all that, it is an ugly way to fight but again its up the ref to step in and warn him

after all it is a fight.. in an ideal world everyone would fight to the reuls and not try anything underhand but its not the way it is
