    Tyson-Holyfield.

    Tim Bradley too.

    He must've attended the Holyfield School of Boxing.

    Easily the #1 would be Floyd's suckerpunch 1-2, winning the fight. Absolute garbage

    They're part of the mix,it's all in the melting pot. A lot if great fighters have been dirty fighters,it isn't tiddlywinks in there.

    Boxing is about fists hitting faces and upper bodies.
    It's not about fists hitting penises, the back of peoples heads or heads hitting heads.
    If you're fine with people fouling in boxing then you're inherently against boxing

    That wasn't a foul.

    That was a classless/****y move from Floyd but still legal

    This is what I came here to post. In spite of all of the low blows, Agbeko was actually doing a great of coming back in that fight against Mares who was gassed in the late rounds. King Kong was clearly winning the 11th until the low blow and the shameful ten count.

    That wasn't a foul. Ortiz's flying headbutt and all of the other butts that he was hitting Mayweather with that people forget about, however, were.

    Given the way that Ortiz was fighting, I don't understand why anybody is more outraged about the way that Mayweather took him out. If a guys is going to fight that dirty, retaliation should be expected.

    IMO If it was almost anybody other than Mayweather who won like that, people wouldn't be nearly as pissed.

    Don't forget that there was also a bull**** KD called against Agbeko. If Mora didn't have his head up his that night, Agbeko could have easily won.

    I would add Gomez-Zarate, with Gomez hitting him while on the ground if I remember correctly.

    Jose Luis Castillo vs Diego Corrales I - Corallas spat his mouthpiece out to buy time after getting knocked down, which may or may not have helped him to get the wind back into his sails and helped him rally back to win the fight by ref stoppage.

    Tua vs Rahman I - Tua hit Rahman after the bell and seriously hurt him. When the next round began Rahman was still groggy and proceeded to get knocked out.

    Haye vs Ruiz - Haye blatantly rabbit punched Ruiz all night long, which the corrupt ref not only let him get away with, but counted as knockdowns when Ruiz fell down after an especially egregious swing to the back of his noggin.
