Who is the dirtiest fighter in boxing currently?

[Pugilistic™]

I don't know...After the first few times it looks kind deliberate. And he did bodyslam Clottey to steal round 6, a round he was clearly losing prior to that. In fact he might have lost the fight without that round.

But Hopkins is definitely the dirtiest of the fighers on that list. He uses classic cheapshots deliberately. I saw a lot of it in the Pavlik fight.

Good point. Forgot about that one.

To be honest though, Clottey jumped out to hug him and Cotto didn't like it.lol.

Correction: The slam occured in round 5. Round 6 was a clear Cotto round regardless of the slam.

Did Cotto have that eye gash when he did the slamming down on the ground thing? If he did, you could see the frustration because he probably felt it was an intentional headbutt and not a headclash.

Why isn't Ward in the list? I know the option "Other" is there but he's one of the dirtiest, if not the dirtiest.

I have to go with Hopkins, he knows all the dirty tactics.

[BattlingNelson]

I agree that Ward was a little ridiculous in the Kessler fight with the headbutting.

But there's a difference between Ward and Hopkins. Hopkins has mal-intent, he does that **** to bully his opponent around. He knows exactly what he's doing.

I think Ward was just being very cautious with Kessler and lead with his head when executing his hit and grab tactics. I think as Ward gains more experience that those fouls will stop, while with B-Hop it's an integral part of his game.

I think the dirty fighting is an integrated part of Wards style. Why else would he field a flying headbutt at a time when his opponents face was disintegrated and the fight all but over?

Off that list, Hopkins is easily the dirtiest fighter there. He throws low blows in the clinches on the blind side of the ref. He leads with his head after he punches and uses it in the clinch also. He punches fighters on the hip,etc in the clinches. Hopkins takes that poll hands down.

Cotto isn't a dirty fighter. He accidentally caught Judah with low blows in their fight but that tends to happen with Cotto being a body puncher.

Mosley isn't a dirty fighter at all. Neither is Pacquiao.

Bradley clashed heads with Campbell in their fight but it was an accident. He hasn't had any other incidents with headbutts, etc. Not a dirty fighter.

Margarito doesn't fight dirty. The handwrap thing was dirty though.

Abraham doesn't fight dirty either, the cheapshot on Dirrell was uncalled for though.

Mayweather uses his elbows on the inside but besides that isn't really a dirty fighter.

This.

gggg

No Clottey with his head-butting ass?

How can Clottey headbutt with his ass ?







joke.

[MR.PLANAS]

I would have to say Hopkins hands down, for the reasons "precision" excellently pointed out.

Part of these tactics is what makes me think Bhop is not an all time great, he is good don't get me wrong but using dirty tactics repeatedly really takes a lot away from any accomplishment.

The worst part about it is that referees don't do nothing about it...

[emart05]

Ummmm.....

Why is Floyd on the list?
