    I suppose if you factor in how many fights Greb had, you have a point ,but it is only an indicator imo.

    Fritzie's reminiscences in Heller's "In This Corner," are pretty funny.

    If you watch the Chavez Tszyu fight you will see Chavez "lacing" Tszyu more than once, quite obviously I might add!

    How about the other guy in your avatar? Wilfredo had a pretty bad rep.

    It cracks me up that in boxing, cheating not only has a long and storied history, but is an actual art form, that has techniques, has been studied - and about half the top guys actually use it! In every other sport cheating is frowned on but in boxing it's like it's another tool in the arsenal :rofl

    What other "how to" video would include 7 minutes on teaching cheating and fouls, except one about boxing?

    Golota may be the only fighter whose illegal blows were so dirty that they actually caused a riot:

    He also gave us one of the best ever boxing nicknames: The Foul Pole :rofl

    I think his biting of Samson Pouha and the headbutt of Darnel Nicholson were much more blatant examples of him in his Foul Pole persona

    Blatant oversight on my part. Yeah, Gomez was a mean mofo. He routinely tried to hit guys after they were down. It made Sal's dismantling of him all the more sweeter. Still, I love watching the guy on film. Gomez was a great fighter.
