De La Hoya vs Vargas
It wasn't so much his trunks that were high, but his body pad that was ridiculously high. The ref should have done something about that.
edit - I'm talking about De La Hoya's trunks btw
Yeah, I think De la Hoya is the biggest culprit of this....although one should mention John Ruiz in the Johnson fight. Kirk would try to attack the body and Ruiz would push Kirk's head down and the punch would land south of the belt.....one of the poorest refereeing jobs I've ever seen by someone not named Laurence Cole...but then again Cortez reffed that fight so I'm not surprised
think lennox lewis was worst culprit
Foreman (post comeback) use to do this alot.

Lewis easy!!
De la Hoya easy. There's a hilarious picture somewhere on the web of the second ODLH-Mosley fight, right after the verdict was announced, with Mosley celebrating and ODLH dejected, with his pants like touching his armpits.
Paul Williams.
Foreman post comeback like Match said is who came to mind first, but De La Hoya did it a lot too. I think Williams just has no hips so his trunks ride up.
I remember Michael Grant up to the nipple in some bouts,more so the guard?
Lennox Lewis easy for my opinion altho yes Oscar does wear his trunks quite high as well.
In the NBA I think you'd have to throw Ron Artest into the mix...
Winky Wright did abuse a bit sometimes on that side.

You do sometimes see a referee point out what he considers belt line when giving instructions in the ring, the problem is the judges don't always comply with it.
David Tua and Butterbean?
Lewis against Holyfield. When he came into the ring all you saw was the top of his trunks almost touching his nipples.
Sometimes the same referee also penalises the fighter when they clearly hit the belt line. Also some fighters like Ruiz fake getting hit in the balls like he did with Holyfield, plainly cheating.Quote:

It may hve been a Steward/Kronk thing as the legendary Tommy Hearns wasn't averse to the high beltline.
Michael Grand it the Lewis fight looked like he was wearing a strapless dress.
DeMarcus Corley got hit square on the belly button against Cotto and insisted it was below the belt :rolleyes:
