which fighters are/were dirty fighters past or present

Yeah, on Duran's birthday. What a disgraceful night for the NYSAC. To think the ref job in Duran-Moore wasn't even the most neglectful thing the NYSAC did that night.Yeah. It surely won't be remembered as one of the times when NYSAC put its best foot forward.

Off the top of my head Greb Saddler Duran Golota Hopkins Tyson Holyfield And lets not forget holding is a foul so Hatton Ruiz Ali Bruno ect ect While excessive holding can cause a fighter to be penalized, holding is NOT a foul.

Oh, yes, Resto and Lewis. The anniversary of the Collins fight is on the 16th of this month, isn't it? ...25 years ago...How time flies... Yeah, on Duran's birthday.

Fuck Luis Resto and Panama Lewis.Oh, yes, Resto and Lewis. The anniversary of the Collins fight is on the 16th of this month, isn't it? ...25 years ago...How time flies...

floyd mayweather just watch the hatton fight, floyd was doing nothing but grinding his elbows to hatton's face which frankly was one of the reasons Hatton got "TKO'd" Jesus, get over it already. MOOOOVE ON.

In recent years Andrew Golota deserves some mentioning. Fritzie Zivic is probably the all time dirtiest fighter though.

Fuck Luis Resto and Panama Lewis. And yet Resto still couldn't KO Collins with his bare hands.

Fuck Luis Resto and Panama Lewis.

What is rabbit punching?? what does it mean? It's when you hit your opponent in the back of the head, it's ILLEGAL...Sam Peter's trademark punch is the rabbit punch, he loves to club his opponents in the back of the head and does it repeatedly and the refs let him get away with it....He's a very dirty fighter.

which fighters are/were dirty fighters past or present these fighters blantently try to cheat IMO Andrew Golota Hopkins Nate Campbell Montell Griffin not dirty IMO but they bend the rules Sam Peter Hatton George Foreman Terry Norris Tito who else So you're saying that Nate Campbell, Montell Griffin and Hopkins are cheaters. So...why haven't they been disqualified? Certainly some referee must be on to this deception they are pulling and will disqualify them, right? The reason they don't get disqualified is because they aren't cheaters. Cheating is rigging the judges or using performance-enhancing drugs. If two guys are fighting on the inside and one guy keeps his head low because of the possibility their heads clash, that isn't cheating: It's being smart. You will not get the worse of head clashes should they occur, which they do when you're an inside fighter. This isn't amateur boxing where every borderline punch is heavily scrutinized. This is professional boxing, which is more physical than the amateurs. Compare the physicality of college ball to the NBA. The NBA is much more physical. Professional boxing is for grown men only and if you can't take the heat then stay out of the kitchen. When the action is getting too physical and a boxer turns around to start petitioning the referee, that isn't a boxer trying to even the playing field, to me that's a character flaw. That's a sign of weakness, that this is getting a little too intense for me and I need the referee to slow this pace a little bit. Think of it this way: If you say that someone using rough-housing tactics is a "cheater", I want you to be the one starting the petition to keep Evander Holyfield, Joel Casamayor, Eusebio Pedroza and Bernard Hopkins out of the Hall of Fame. Obviously these "cheaters" should not be allowed in the IBHOF, right? Let me know how that goes. What is your criteria for fighters not being dirty, but bending the rules? Sam Peter's rabbit punches isn't cheating? Tito hitting someone low isn't cheating? What separates these two categories? For you to separate these two categories, there must be some sort of criteria. What is it, that you like what these other fighters do more? Clearly the intents of Andrew Golata or Mike Tyson, guys who have been disqualified, were different than the aforementioned fighters. There is nothing strategic about biting a guys ear or hitting a guy in the groin time after time. Those guys are dirty fighters as a character flaw.

Nigel Benn was somehwhat dirty

Apparently Fritzie Zivic was pretty dirty. LOL! Indeed! To many his name rings synonimous to "dirty". But he had a redeeming trait (sort of): he always told his opponent: "Pardon me" each time he fouled! After having been at the receiving end of many of Fritzie's dirty tactics, Hank Armstrong grabbed Zivic's head in the 15th round of their first fight and screamed, "Fritzie, will you please cut out that 'Pardon me' and quit butting me?" Fellow-Pittsburghers Zivic and Greb...I don't know which one was worse (or "better"). Edit: The worst I've seen (up close and personal) was a fighter from Ohio named Solomon Boysaw, a Jr. Lightweight back in the early 60's. Fought the likes of Arthur Persley, Flash Elorde, Vicente Rivas... Or maybe I was just too young...

Ricky Hatton. look at his last fight.

Traditionally the dirtiest fighter in history is Harry the Human Windmill Greb. It's rumoured that his favourite combination was a thumb in the eye followed by a thumb in the other eye. Andrew Golota. Greb sparring.

I'd also like to add Trinidad and Cotto. When the going gets tough, the tough aims south.
