    again , this is an all time list , so think before you post your lists.
    not every dirty fighter should be in that list , as it is supposed to be composed of the ten dirtiest ever. you have to pick the serial ones.
    i may edit it in the future to add my list.
    all i know is Bernard Hopkins is definitely #1
    Diego Corales , Kabary Salem , Evander Holyfield and Kendall Holt are all considered but i still do not have 10 fighters i am locked on , let alone know who was dirtier than whom. so ideas needed .


    1. Bernard Hopkins
    2. Fritzie Zivic
    3. Sandy Saddler
    4. Eusebio Pedroza
    5. Mysterious Billy Smith
    6. Muhammad Ali
    7. Roberto Duran (@ 135)
    8. Evander Holyfield
    9. Rocco Marchegiano
    10. Harry Greb

    11. Gene Fullmer
    12. Larry Holmes


    Bernard Hopkins for serial clinches , headbutts (wright , jones) , pushes (dennis milton) , hitting on the brakes (milton) , faking low blows (calzaghe , jones)

    I'm not trying to rank them, I'm just listing random dirty fighters other than B-Hop.

    Eusebio Pedroza- hit Juan LaPorte with God knows how many low blows, elbows, forearms, and punches to the back.

    Andrew Golota- biting, headbutting, low blowing, rabbit punches, hitting opponents when they're down.

    Freddie Norwood- when Derrick Gainer finally retaliated with some low blows, there were people cheering. I know Norwood got DQ'd in another fight and people say the JM Marquez fight was a dirty snorefest, but the Gainer fight alone gets him a mention.

    Fritzie Zivic & Sandy Saddler were notorious for fouls.

    Sakio Bika should be right up there.

    Tyson should probably get an honourable mention for the ear biting moment.

    Teddy Reid and James Butler. Reid was a nasty nasty SOB.

    Golota and Tyson had their fights were they totally snapped, but also many bouts were they fought according to the rules. Hopkins is dirty in every fight, it's part of hi sickening entitlement mentality. Difficult to compare these different types of dirty fighters, one ear - biting and one arm breaking attempt by Tyson is more spectacular than the constant cheating by Hopkins, but overall i would say Hopkins is the more dirty fighter.

    yes , i also considered golotta , bowe and zivic prior to posting my thread.
    i know golotta was disqualified twice against bowe for lowblows but headbutts ? rabbit punches ? biting ? hitting downed opponents ?
    i know tyson bit holyfield's ear and bowe hit buster mathis jr. while he was down , but golotta did all of that ? in which fights ? do you know ?
    but definitely the #1 goes to hopkins , i had no doubt.

    I think Holyfield should be somewhere on there.

    Golota bit Samson Po'uha when Po'uha hurt him.

    Golota blatantly headbutted Dannell Nicholson, and Nicholson responded with one of the most terrible acting jobs you'll see. It was pretty funny. Golota also blatantly headbutted Riddick Bowe after dropping him in round 2 of the rematch. Golota needed some lessons on how to use his head subtly to do damage. He also hit Ruiz when he was down.

    Bowe was another dirty fighter. Besides the Mathis fight, he often hit guys behind the head and below the belt. He hit Jesse Ferguson when he was down. He was beating the hell out of Jorge Luis Gonzalez, the bell rings, and he walks over to Gonzalez in the corner and beats him up some more. There was also the first Elijah Tillery bout.

    Some foul-fests are really enjoyable. Pettway-Brown, Hopkins-Echols 2, Liles-Littles 2.

    The fouls and Norman Stone made Golota-Ruiz much more enjoyable.

    Rodel Mayol.

    Not too sure if its intentional, but he's always sticking his head into the wrong places.
