Which Heavyweight Champ Was The Dirtiest?

Chuck Wepner.

Why the heck are people saying Ali?
He showed great sportsmanship in the ring.

 

Yeah, I think he knocked down Grant with illegal blows for most, or all, or the knockdowns.

Ruddock was another fighter he hit while he was down.

 

Was never champ.

 

Oh, true.

 

The Grant fight was a masterclass in rabbit punching.

 

I don't recall any rabbit punches, but I do recall him holding his head and delivering upper cuts. You want to see rabbit punches watch the Weper - Ali fight, that was pretty much nothing but rabbit punches from both fighters. (Ali in retaliation to Wepner).

Ali used to constantly grab Frazier behind the head and bring his head down, nothing close to showing great sportsmanship regarding that.

 

A lot of "what goes around comes around".

Tyson always hit after the bell (5 times in 2 fights with Ruddock, he also sank some vicious low blows on Ruddock and tried to headbutt Ruddock in the first round of the first fight). He hit Bruno when he was down and elbowed him, but Bruno himself was dirty as hell with his rabbit punching. Then Holyfield gets his ear bit by Tyson, which of course was extreme and not ONLY because he was fighting dirty. He was winning too, which was no coincidence in Tyson's bite.

I wouldn't have blamed Rahman if he had bitten Evander since Holyfield's "intentional accidental" headbutt made him grow a 2nd forehead. Lewis (a master of holding and hitting with the uppercut and also hit Mike Acey on the floor THREE times) commented on Holyfield having the bite coming to him. Bowe was cut in the 2nd fight with Holyfield, it looks like it was from one of Holyfield's headbutts

Tyson tried to headbutt Golota, and Golota later complained about it. Golota complaining about fouls LOL

 

Are you crazy? I recall Ali facing two opponents with their back turned to him! He didn't even hit them. Some opponents would've turned out in much more worse shape if Ali didn't tell the referee to stop the fight. For example, look at Jerry Quarry's condition in later years. Imagine if Ali didn't tell the referee to stop the fight in his 2nd match with Quarry. Ali did that to Fraizer because he used his strength to his advantage.

 

Well apparently St Ali could do know wrong in your little world. Grabbing a guys head and pulling it down, has more to do with height and reach than strength so I don't know what the **** you're talking about. Have you actually watched the guy fight? This was blatant fouls.

 

Holyfield, GH and roid cheat, plus the king of illegal head buts. His faking he believed in Jesus deserves mention also.

 

Holyfield is the dirtiest fighter ever regardless of weight class

 

Holyfield in the Tyson fights was an absolute disgrace. He wasn't able to box clean. I can understand why Mike lost his chit.
