Hop for sure but more sneaky cheap shot stuff when the refs on the blind side on breaks and such. Hagler was the same.

Pre neutral corner must have been a horror show.

Kid Norfolk is probably the worst thumber ever although thumbing was certainly not just his forte. It was common place with detached thumbs and ruined many greats who may have even been greater like Greb and Langford who were not choir boys either.

Saddler was a bad ass street fighter and so was Benny Leonard.

Marciano beat peoples arms until they could barely lift them.

Wlads constant leaning and Floyd bending below the waist although he has not done it lately.

Pukes like Resto go w/o saying.

Ward sure got away with the head against Kessler.

Kind of just scrapes the surface really.
I'm surprised nobody mentioned Tyson biting the hell out of Holyfield or Ali laying all over and holding everyone the ref would allow during the end of his career. Tyson was good at capturing an opponents arm and trying to break it.
I'd say the all the top fighters know how to fight dirty when they have to. It's not that surprising.
