    I would say yes because he has completely directed fights with his dirty moves and even won fights solely with dirty moves he didn't get penalized for. There have been dirty fighters who snuck these moves in but I can't think of any like Ward who win fights almost solely because of it.

      I wouldn’t say Ward is the dirtiest fighter out there. The problem is not with Ward. It’s the incompetent officiating that goes on in boxing. He clearly got away with it with Kessler and Kovalev but it’s also up to them to retaliate particularly when the referee is doing nothing about it.

        Sandy Saddler was the dirtest fighter, closely followed by Harry Greb and Battling Nelson. Ward does cheat theres no doubt, but he is not even in the top 100 in the true Dirty league

            Who quit? Weeks looking for all the world like he was going to call a time out after a blatant low blow, called the fight instead.

              Ray, you should just take a dump on some paper and sign the bottom. Would be pretty much the same as your post here.

Prior to the low blow it looked like Buchanan hit him low on the hip twice and Buchanan hit Duran after the bell. You don't hit Duran after the bell and get away Scot free.
                  I don't disagree, the stoppage still happened after hitting the guy in the nuts.

                    Damn, he lands more elbows and forearms than Connor McGreggor does in a MMA fight.

                    Haven't even got to the headbutts and lows blows

                      Ever? There are boxers who make him look like a choir boy with that being said he wasn't a clean fighter either.
