    Fighters are fighters... There are occasions when a fighter does have to use some kind of illegal tactics to survive.. after all they are fighters. Evander Holyfield, Pedroza, Duran, Gomez, Escalera and some others did when they had to... What do they all have in common ? They were all great champions except for Escalera who found Alexis Arguello on his way up.

    Almost all of them TBH.

    You have to have the mentality to do anything to win, and that means doing anything you can get away with.

    A lot of dirty fighter throughout history, some were street fighters during their youth, for example, the great Roberto Manos De Piedra Duran. Remember the June 26 1972 title win over Ken Buchanan in Madison Square Garden, TKO 13. He blatantly punched Ken in the Testicles, medical test after the bout proved that he did indeed got struck there. Vito Antuofermo used to head butt, so did Victor Galindez, remember the first Richie Kates bout in 1976.
