As far as worse on a bigger picture I say Mayweather and Manny. Firstly because these two twats teased and taunted over 5 years and only got older and fans were left in a lurch. When it kicked off the hysteria in mass media was almost comical with "fight of the Century" repeated 1001 times. Boxing almost got to big for it self overnight..we knew it, knew the styles and particulars regardless of preference, knew paying 100 for one of the weakest ppv cards in recent memory was insanity. But the next morning its like the sport was hijacked with the shout of "boxing is dead" by every media mouthpiece known. They were actually surprised that it wasn't Hagler HearnsHolyfield Tyson was also one that many thought had passed its prime but came down to the actions of one man acting like some bath salts smoking Hyena. These were heavyweights who had already sold in long awaited 1st meeting and traded bombs. There was already conclusion in Mike being tko'd and then punking out via bite(s).
I don't think Tyson is as dirty as Holyfield yes Tyson did like to punch after people went down but he was just that aggressive I don't think he was trying to be dirty. As for the arm break it wasn't half as bad as people say and Holyfield had already started with the headbutts by that point. I agree Holyfield just got on with it but he was way dirtier that Tyson
Look at the Savarese fight. The Botha fight. The Holyfield fights. Evander, much like Time Bradley, fights in an aggressive/ugly/tough manner and definitely doesn't try to avoid head clashes. Tyson on the other hand admittedly attempts actions he knows are against the rules, many with potentially debilitating affects (arm bar/torque). Haven't ever heard anyone claim Evander was even as dirty as Tyson, never mind claiming he was way dirtier.

Comedy gold the belief Holyfield was just as dirty. Headbutts happen at one point or another in more than half of the fights we watch daily. 4 to 12 rounders, no names to the elite I guarantee you will see butts. Chewing ears, wrenching arms and lifting up, knocking over refs and uniformed security?..that my friend is an elite fraternity![]()
