    Hey guys I was going down a rabbit hole of boxing history and I came across the question of who is the dirtiest boxer of all time. So I thought I’ll ask the question to get the conversation started.

    Who do you guys think the dirtiest boxer is? I keep seeing this guy named Fritzie Zivic but I’m not too familiar with him yet

    Andrew Golota makes the shortlist, I'm not saying he's the DIRTIEST Boxer.

    Mysterious Billy Smith. He was DQ'd in 11 of his last 57 fights, including one fight where he kicked, and then bit, his opponent.

    Fighter who used dirty tactics most effectively, or just most brazenly?

    Sandy Saddler was a pretty rough guy. You can safely say nearly every operator at close range is, butts and elbows will just happen and are hard to call and the guy throwing them knows that.

    Mike Tyson gets at least an honorary mention for dining out on Evander’s ear.

    Do not think that there's one single person but Luis Resto with Panama Lewis should be on the list.

    Out of the guys that got away with it or atleast tried?
    Hopkins.
    Duran, Holyfield are honorable mentions.

    Big fan of all of them.

    I would say both but I guess I would lean towards “most brazenly” … good question
