Duran isn't even a very dirty fighter anyway. Certainly not in comparison to histories renowned dirty fighters. I can think of nearly ten fighters that are current who are much worse, let alone over the whole history. As for ATG's, he still wasn't very dirty compared to others.
Evander Holyfield was dirtier than Tyson. Holyfield was an ATG headbutter and grappler. He was strategic with it. Tyson's dirty moments, other than elbows, were usually when he lost it mentally and were inconsistent.

You're also forgetting Tyson routinely hitting with forearms, hitting on the break, hitting after the bell, and punching low.....all of which it was a common part of his arsenal in his prime and when he wasn't having a meltdown. Hell, watch both Rudduck fights: Those were foul fests from both fighters.
