    I think Golota's combo to Riddick Bowe's balls have to take the cake.

    Pedroza v Laporte
    Saddler v Pep
    Golota v Bowe
    I dont think Duran really a dirty fighter, Casamayor and Hopkins are pretty dirty in most fights Hopkins gets on the refs blind side,Casamayor throws a few low,but really none of these can compare to Galento v Nova and Zivic v Davis.

    Duran did a smashing job on Davey Moore. He also used his laces pretty well against Leonard. If I'm correct, Ray had to get his ears dehydrated with a syringe from all the rubbing.

    Having ears syringed is fairly common nowadays ,thats why you dont see cauliflower ears much any more,unless you are a Rugby fan.

    Golata's dirtiest fight would have to be the first or second Bowe match where he punched Bowe in the nuts a bunch of times to a DQ.

    Duran's dirtiest? I don't know about his dirtiest but he low blowed Ken Buchanan at the end of their match which was ruled a knockout.

    Bernard Hopkins? I haven't seen absolutely everything but I remember him being more dirty when he was young and fresh out of prison.

    Sandy Saddler was probably dirtiest in his fourth match with Willie Pep. That turned into a wrestling match and is known for the dirty tactics of both fighters.

    Pedroza and Casamayor, not sure.

    Watching Hopkins get away with murder against Winky Wright put me off boxing. Damn that was embarrassing and then the fact he got the decision. Politics....

    I recall the Saddler v Elorde fight, I think it was Saddler's last, as pretty rough. I watched it, on tape of course, and thought that Saddler landed about 4 punches, yet Elorde was really busted up and stopped on cuts.

    His 2nd fight with Echols was a foulfest, both fighters fighting dirty. I would recommend it as it was actually an entertaining bout.

    I think Golota went low on Samson Pou'ha... on top of biting him. :-(
