    1)Golota from the few fights I saw of him.

    2)Ruiz

    3)JIm Flynn who unmercifully pounds Jack Johnson with leaping headbutts in title fight until he is disqualified

    4)Tyson gets hon. mention for the calculating removal of his mouthpiece & biting off a mans ear. Otherwise he didn't need to as most guys were afraid of him & he was clean fighter.



    5)Nigel Benn disgusted me with boxing for awhile & I am now trying to get back into it. The rabbit punches in rounds 6 ,9 & one before McCllelan collapsed to his kneees in rd 10 still **** me off:fire Benn apologizes to the the ref (whom finally warns him after G-Man complains) by bowing:roll: & then does it AGAIN in rd 10 before the G-Man collapses to one knee. Fight would have ended in two-three rds if not for the horrible officiating also.

    G-Man although complaining after the 2nd round(Benn is unaware) that 'something ain't right" ,but he was still able to knock Benn down again & lead on the cards. Amazing talent/courage. He also was headbutted by Benn(rd 8?) after Ben throws a wild punch like a 6 year old school girl(accident). Ref refuses to give the G-Man, already in distress, a break after a vicious headbutt to the eye.

    Although the G-Man had been complaining of migraines/nausea & this was probably bound to happen anyway had he not retired /seeked treatment. The wild/ dirty tactics of Benn did not help. Turned me away from boxing,though not entirely, for awhile.

    Zivic was second to Greb by Zivic's own admission.

    It's too bad youtube doesn't have Pedroza's fight with Juan Laporte. Otherwise I'd post a link for that fight.

    Pedroza took target practice on LaPorte's back and groin. And also LaPorte's head (with his elbow).

    Gil Clancy, the commentator, says "LaPorte comes back with a beautiful elbow!"

    Joel Casamayor tried to knee Diego Corrales in the groin at least 12 times during their 3rd fight, one time while both fighters were instructed to touch gloves. El Cepillo was a master craftsman of the headbutt and elbow.

    Holyfield deserves a mention at HW at least. He hit Dokes low and headbutted him at the same time.

    Bit someone in the amateurs as well. Karma, mother****er! :lol:
