    Who are the dirtest boxers in history.

    I'm trying to make some youtube videos. I already have other topics but I need some help with this one. When I say dirty, I don't mean steriods/PEDs. I mean someone who uses dirty tactics in the ring. Can you guys give me some names so I can research them?

      Hopkins has a reputation for being dirty.
      Mares is known for hitting low.
      Holyfield was also dirty

        You should probably have specified recent history. A lot of what fighters like Ward and Hopkins do today, that most consider dirty, was common practice 60+ years ago.
        Personally, I blame referees more than fighters for letting dirty tactics go unwarned and unpenalized.

            Tyson has some slick sneaky dirty moves.

            Golota was ******

              Tyson and FMJ

              Both used elbows, forearms.
              Both occasionally tried to dislocate the shoulder.
              Tyson also sometimes hit low.

                You just knew there would be a poster voting for these 2 because they beat prominent Eastern Euros. LMFAO!

                Golota, Holyfield, Margarito immediately come to mind.

                  Fullmer, Saddler, Zivic, Golota, Tyson, Holyfield.

                  Probably guys like Hopkins and Ward to a lesser extent.

                    For modern boxing Andre Ward comes to mind. There is a good reason he didn't fight outside of the US.
