Mysterious Billy Smith for being DQ'd 10+ times during an era when fighters didn't get disqualified too easily.
Fritzie Zivic was the best at fouling though. He would brag about it, yet was never DQ'd in over 230 fights.

Too much 'hatin' on mah boy,the Holy one,in this thread.I tend to think the foul play on Holyfield's part has been a little exaggerated over the last ten years or so.I've never really noticed his "butting" in fights.Perhaps he just really crafty like that.
I think in terms of blatant 'ball busting' and 'leading with the head',Joe Frazier definately deserves a mention.
Nobody loved 'bustin dem balls' the way good old "smokin" Joe did.

Holyfield knew all the tricks in the book.
Lennox Lewis at times would hold and hit. he did this many times for his right uppercut. It was how he knocked out Michael Grant actually. Quite atrocious considering how lethal it was and was never called by any ref.

I include different things to define dirty. Not just low blows, pushing off, head butts, or hitting on the break. I include rought tatics, rabbit punching, and yes cheating before the ring.
Ad Wolgast(alley fighter) ,Max Baer, Trinidad, Fenech(check out the rugby tackle in first nelson fight).
Okay obvious picks- Luis Resto, Margocheato, and any guys who use PED's or loaded gloves.
Most gentleman fighters: Arguello, De La Hoya, and for all the bad rep for being a **** in his early days, Max Schemling was one of the nicest fighters both in the ring and outside of the ring.
