Double standard?

I was talking to Ultimate last night and he made a good point.

Why is it that when Hopkins low blows, hits behind the head, its "skill" and "smarts" but when Casamayor or Hatton does the same thing, its "dirty"?

[masterdirector]

Add Holyfield and his years of headbutting to that mix. Up until the Rahman fight, Holyfield got away with it all the time. And people on the forums and everywhere acted like I was lying or something when I'd mention it.

lol exactly , hopkins does all his dirty stuff on the other side of the ref
it takes skill not to get caught

[masterdirector]

Casamayor is more slick than Hopkins though.

[BLOODSHED]

Yes he is...

Casamayor is more slick than Hopkins though.

[SilentButViolent]

Because hopkins doesn't depend on those dirty tactics to win fights, more of an intimidation...those headbutts and low blows didn't knock trinidad out

I think the original poster made a very valid point
