Here are my nominations by categories. Headbutting - Evander Holyfield Hitting Low - Andrew Golota Elbowing - Mike Tyson Rabbit-punching - Chuck Wepner Illegal Holding - Muhammad Ali I'd like to hear from the experts.
Mayweather to a degree is guilty. He was infamous for using his elbows years back. Hopkins is up there, too. He is beyond dirty.
lennox lewis was dirty. he clinched as often as he could, he pushed his opponents head down and leaned on at every opportunity. He regularly pulled an opponents head onto the uppercut and his elbow smash to the top of levi Billups head was awful
he has it all: fighting after the bell, holding&hitting, headbutting, rabbit punches, low blows, hell even faking them.
I can't think of a fighter who held more in bouts than John Ruiz and got away with it during the last fifty years. Yes, Ruiz held more than Ali. He wouldn't have had much success in the ring if he didn't do it. - Chuck Johnston
Holding, Holding and hitting, Elbowing - Lennox Lewis Holding, Holding and hitting, Faking illegal blows - Bernard Hopkins Headbutts - Holyfield Holding, Faking low blows - Ruiz Holding - Wlad Low blows, biting - Golota Breaking opponent arms - Tyson Low blows - Trinidad
I recently watched Wepner- Ali and man o' man was there a lot of rabbit punching going on. Wepner would rabbit punch Ali a couple of times and Ali would grab him bend his head over and deliver about 7-8 rabbit punches. This happened 3 or 4 times during the fight.
