    Holyfields headbutting is blatant and virtually all of his opponents have complained about it and he relies very heavily on it so I'd go with him

    Tyson biting Hoyfields ear was one of the dirtiest things I have ever seen

    Golota has the worst reputation.

    Hopkins is more like dirty fighters such as Pedroza and Greb where he uses it to his advantage. He's more sneaky and clever with it.

    As with Golota, it was a weakness for him, like it was for Terry Norris.

    holyfield gets away with it because hes holyfield and big fan favorite just ask mills lane why he didnt stop it after the first bite the unwritten rule in boxing is he fouls you you foul him harder unfortunately tyson went too far and bit off more than he can chew

    Mills Lane was going to stop the fight after the first bite.

    After consulting with Marc Ratner and saying he was going to stop it, Ratner asked "are you sure?"

    Mills changed his mind and decided to let it go on.

    yeah but he knew tyson was getting butted by holyfield mills is old school he just got a little confused because he never seen that before in a title fight and wasnt sure about rules when it comes to that holyfield knows what he was doing was illegal watch him in interviews he has more bad things to say about lewis than he does tyson i know if someone bit off half my ear i would still be mad about it wouldnt you

    Eusebio Pedroza and Agaptio Sanchaz were dirtier than a Uzbek prostitute.

    Golota's just a headcase. Pretty skilled and talented guy, but he's missing a few screws up there.

    He should've been DQ'd against Pouha when he bit him.

    And he threw more blatant headbutts than Carlos Maussa.
