**Most Crafty (fighting dirty and getting away with it) Fighters of all time!**
-I just got Hopkin's Career and he holds and hits on the op side of the ref all the time!
-Camacho used to love to hold the back of the head and hit... The Paz fight comes to mind
-Evander def used his head as a weapon. I don't care what anyone says.
-Ali used to hang that Jab out there in your face to blind you.
Those are just a few quick ones without really thinking...
What do you guys have? ;D

Bruno Rabbit punched a hell of alot :)
Mayweather shoves his forearm in his opponents throat.

Evander & B-Hop were the two that came to mind. Peter punches to the back of the head all the time too.

Harry Greb, Fritzie Zivic and Mysterious Billy Smith are a few others that come to mind. From watching some of Marciano's fights on film, he wasn't the cleanest guy either.

Max Baer was famous for eye-gouging with the straight-arm. Then he would club you to the back of the head repeatedly, and hit you after you've been down 2 seconds....

There is a lot of them who mastered the art....Dempsey ( though I am not surew If Jack got away with it..I think it was more or less he did not care)
Hopkins,,The hip punches are his speciality...Tyson Follow with the Elbow behind the Hook...Holyfield did not really headbutt as people try and say but used to rub the top of his head against the face hard especially if a guy was swollen...
Ali...Held behind the head laid the jab out wayy too long...LaMotta you can name a dozen here...

Thats part of being a great fighter...little things like that...of course there is a difference between being a bit dirty and outright DIRTY...but the small stuff like those two had is something every ATG can be found guilty of at some point in time
