    What are some fights where legendary fighters heavily fouled.

    The big one that comes to mind for me is Ali-Frazier.

    Ali is perhaps the most beloved boxer of all time bit he was absoloutley ****** in that fight, constantly grabbing, holding and leaning his weight on the back of Fraziers neck, over and over again.

    A more recent example would be Wladamir Klitschko against Povetkin where Klitschko initiated non stop clinching and leaning, it was outrageous.

    Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield are universally beloved but fouled as a matter of course during almost all their fights.

          Tito Trinidad was a great fighter, don't know why he resorted to low blow fouls often.

          He also had controversy about his handwraps though not sure if the rumors are true.

            You don’t know what a foul is. Watch Fernando Vargas vs Trinidad. What you mentioned are just TYPICAL fights now a days. I prefer the boxing rules in Mexico. They actually will take points away for holding.

              Hagler-Hearns.

              Marvin with some well-timed low blows.

                Probably going to get **** for this but Fury-Wilder

                While everyone was focused on the egg weight issues no one hardly took notice to the fact that slaps are illegal in boxing. He slapped the **** out of Wilder. All three fights, he slaps the **** out of everyone but since y'all slo-mo'd the Wilder footage for the egg weight **** it's super easy to see him slapping the **** out of Wilder.

                Tyson Fury slap bitches and slapping is illegal in boxing, scros.



                B-Hop, like all of them, but my favorite was when he cried and played seriously injured to buy time as champion through a NC. but for direct cheating check Hop's stage blocking to nut shot game. Dude was a master.


                Ortiz-Mayweather, both sides


                Tim Bradley used to headbutt a lot too.


                And of course the loaded gloves boys, Marg, Risto, etc.

                Tom Cribb didn't directly cheat but his fans did for him in such an egregious case it's been chatted about for hundred of years.

                  Ali rabbit punched Jimmy Young over and over again. At that point in Ali's career Jimmy was too slick for him, so he fouled him in obvious frustration.

                    Mayweather's holding in the Pacquiao fight was pretty bad.
