the diritiest fighter of all time....

Luis Resto.

 

Depends what you mean by dirty; Zivic, Greb and in the modern era Pedroza were some of the Kings of bending the rules to their advantage, but there was also a sneaky dirtiness that an Attell or McCoy were brilliant at.

 

When Fritzie Zivic fought Henry Armstrong for the title, referre Donovan got so fed up with counting the repeated fouls that he just put his arms round them and said-

"OK boys. We can do it this way if you want".

After that he just let them get on with it.

 

Bernard Hopkins was dirty, Used his head as a third glove, hit then hold, try to intimidate opponents leading up to the fight, he would also complain to the referee about different things.

 

Gianfranco Rosi, the junior middleweight champion from Italy, was known for dirty tactics.

 

His hitting and holding, arm locks, hitting low on the ref's blindside and his pushing down of opponents was pure ****ing class.

Loved watching Bernard work.

 

Tyson put on an elbowing clinic against Tyrell Biggs. He always did it when the referee was on the other side.

 

Golota/Hopkins.

 

Zivic.

 

I was going to say Pedroza because everyone was a bit dirty back in day. Different rules and interpretations a lot of the time.

 

Casamayor is up there. I decry Casamayor!

 

The scumbag admitted that the Collins fight wasn't the first time padding was removed from his gloves.

 

Holyfield could be dirty - he loved to headbutt now and then.
