    The king of headbutt is Evander Holyfield. The king of low blow is Andrew Golota. The king of elbow is Floyd Mayweather Jr. The king of late hit is Bernard Hopkins.

    Buchanon was faking also. The Molinares Starling ko was both guys throwing after the bell, it's just that Molinares landed first.

    Casmayor and Hopkins give Holyfield a run for his money on headbutts.

    Pedroza has strong consideration for elbows (and low blows) on the Laporte fight alone.

    Mike Tyson always hit after the bell, Terry Norris is in a league of his own when it comes to hitting guys on the canvas, although he never unleashed a three-punch combo on a guy on the canvas like Lennox did.

    Hopkins-Trinidad was relatively clean.

    I mean you had some elbows and forearms, a push knockdown, fighting after the bell after the 5th, fighting after the bell after the 10th (Hopkins throwing like 3 punches after the bell), and you kept hearing "a clean fight!!".

    Hopkins is/was a serial low-blower AND a serial headbutter.

    It's funny, of all the times that I've seen Bernard Hopkins hit a fighter on the hip while on the other side of the referee's vision, I never remember him once digging in and punching very hard at all they were more like taps. I think he was using them as little psychological attacks more so than trying to damage his opponent's physically.

    On the Marciano knockout of Joe Walcott, that little left he landed after Walcott fell was nothing it had basically nothing at all on it it was just a tap.

    Fury cheats in his fights, always hitting and holding etc.

    I always thought similarly. Like he was trying to intimidate/anger his opponent. Similar to Tyson’s very obvious punches after the bell.

    A couple of blatant classics spring to mind with Mike Tyson's ear biting/removal and Andrew Galota's Knutcracker Suite...

    So true. I used to love when the Borenard nuthuggers on here would call all his fouling and faking low blows etc. “crafty” or “experienced” or “veteran” then turn around and mock other fighters for doing the same as their hero. Joe Smith Jr did us all a favor knocking that clown out of the sport for good.

    The bigger question is, how are the refs and the organizations allowing this ? Are they all blind the moment fighters step into the ring, and after that, which lead us to case, where the referee is completely incapable of being a referee if he can't see such obvious fouls. Or they are turn blind eyes for the "right" guy, as usually happen in Boxing.
