dirty fighters

[FinitoElDinamita]

Hello,
I was watching some of Vic Darchinyans fights and I am always annoyed by his style. He seems to enjoy throwing his opponents around, headlocks and pushing their heads down. He always reminds me of a schoolyard bully. It's too bad he resorts to these tactics as he is very active and can be fun to watch but I could never back him with his annoying tactics. I have not been around boxing as long as many here so I was curious to see who the more dirty fighters are.

Vic the prick is a dirty fighter especially when he fought in the lower divisions. But that's was probably a way to make up for his lack of boxing skills. Remember how he put victor burgos in a coma? He showed no remorse for what happened and I started hating that guy.

Bernard hopkins is a very dirty fighter too. He's a punk

Barrera is another dirty fighter but people usually do not call him put on it because he's a great fighter.

Ali
Winky loved the follow up elbow
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.

Tyson shouldn't be blamed for the ear incident because holy had it coming. He deserved it.

This game is dangerous as is so u should go eye for an eye.

Holyfield used his head as a third weapon so why should tyson play it fair?

Headbutting is actually one of the dirtiest tactics in boxing and it could be very dangerous.

Agreed and I mentioned Ali w/o elaborating but his holding behind the head with both hands at times was evident almost his entire career and he rarely got warned.

Yup, Bhop is cringe worthy. I hate how he is treated like boxing royalty after fighting like a prick his entire career.

Seems you had the answer you desired before you asked the question. Can you produce some examples of this cringe worthy behavior?

[J_Undisputed]

I agree with Ward being thrown in there. I'll also put Victor Ortiz in there and dib

I have no answers my good man, just agreeing with my Bretheren, May I ask why you ask me for more evidence, I assume you have reason. Don't hold back.

Mike was licensed to legally demolish a guy with his hands and instead went rabid poodle. Fuck him and his whining excuses that night. Its funny Holyfield constantly gets highlighted as "dirty". Compared to many lesser knowns, and a Tyson, he was nothing. The lead and follow thru elbow is becoming a third punch more so.Agapito Sanchez, Andrew Golota, Freddie Norwood, Ross Thompson, Fritzie Zivic, Eusebio Pedroza, Gianfranco Rosi, Tony Marshall, Ernest Mateen, Wolgast, Joan Guzman, Galento. etc etc. Love me some Terry Norris but how many times did he crank a guy in the back of his head or when he was down?
