    They threw their fair share of low blows. Not only that, some of the aforementioned fighters *******ly did other illegal tactics: holding and hitting, lacing, and used their heads, shoulders, elbows, and thumbs.

    Look, i'm not approving or disapproving of Trinidad's tactics. But some make it out to be that Trinidad is the dirtiest and the only dirty fighter. There were numerous greats that were dirty. This ain't golf. Boxing is a rough and tough sport.

        exactly
        with any kind of big hook swing
        an elbow is bound to land sooner or later

            Tyson was the king of using his elbows.

                With an egg that size, how could he not head butt. I excuse him for that. What a wrecking ball

                    Come on. That was bogus. A convenient excuse. If Tyson would've used his forearm to prevent Evander from clinching, his head wouldn't be an issue. But Tyson has always allowed opponents who can last to tie him up. When you got 2 guys wrestling all the time, headbutts are inevitable. Tyson was at fault for cooperating

                      I know head butts are inevitable it just always seems like holyfield gets the better end of it, I mean look what he did to rahmans? I'm just saying I think Holyfields forehead is just as dirty or even worse than an elbow but in the end it's all part of boxing.
