Holyfield the Dirtiest Fighter with one ear??

I still have never seen Holyfield intentionally headbutting Tyson. They clashed head a few times, but Tyson used that as an excuse to justify his own cowardice and barbaric tactics.
Its funny how tyson in his book talks about feeling all the great legends from the past were looking down on him early in his career, yet in reality, he couldnt handle a bit of rough housing by Holyfield. He didnt like being on the receiving end of fouls, even though he elbowed repeatedly against easy opposition without any need to.
I dont think Holyfield was that dirty.

And yes, two wrongs don't make a right, which also means Tyson shouldn't have bit both of Holyfield's ears either. Neither that or any of Holyfield's dirty tactics are right. I'm sure boxers in the old days, when there was more grappling, got away with a lot worse.

This can be said about every fighter that was ever accused of being dirty. "I'm sure it wasn't intentional". That's not going to hold up in a near 3-decade career where this was consistently an issue.
