Great fighters most of the time are dirty because they know how to bend the rules and get away with it. Holyfeild makes Hopkins look clean his head was more dangerous then anything seen in a ring. Still Holyfeild is one of my favs and his avenged win over Bowie and his demolishing of Tyson and Moorer are great moments. People this is boxing not patty cake there trying to kill one another in the ring. If you look at alot of great fighters they did some dirty shit and would not think a thing about it when there hand was raised as the winner. I don't know why after so many years people still are so buged by it really its funny i mean every seen fights in old days. Today guys are not even close to the old guard when it came to making a boxing match into a street fight shit they wait above the guy to knock him out back then.
