Abner Mares and the 10 Dirtiest Fighters in Boxing History

[Spicoli]

I'd take Hopkins, Holyfield, Mares, Barrera for starters and replace in any order Zivic, Galento, Pedroza, Sanchez, Ad Wolgast, Greb etc. Seems like its mainly geared at 'todays' fighters or names. Shoot I'd put Echols, James butler on there. Miranda could of won the distinction in one fight alone. Some day people will stop making excuses for Tyson, he's a big boy...he wasn't driven to any break down that wasn't already brewing and that is clear from his pattern of fouls when it got deep at times. And I'd give more credit to the ass whipping he was taking vs Holyfield more than head butts.

I would put Hop up higher. He is a master at dirty fighting, even taking it to a practiced skill. Mares is dirty because a ref assisted him by not calling any low blows, so really he just was smart and took advantage of a good situation. Hop is great because I've seen him pull another fighter into position so that the ref is not in position to see Hop land the low blow, land the low shot, then turn the fighter so that the ref can see him retaliate by going low. If that isn't good enough, Hop pours salt in the wound by over reacting to the shot and pleading his case to the ref as if he can't possibly understand why the guy would do that to him. Hop is great at every single thing he does in the ring, and fighting dirty is no exception.

Fritzie Zivic would resent being left off this list. So would "Mysterious" Billy Smith; Barbados Joe Walcott didn't want to fight him again because of all times he was bitten on top of the head. (Smith was 5'11", Walcott 5'0"), and Smith was DQ'd 14 times.
Zivic and Greb were from the same neighborhood and Fritzie resented not being the dirtiest fighter on his block.

Mares is not an intentionally dirty fighter imo

How did someone who was 5 foot find himself fighting someone 5 foot 11?
