Which Heavyweight Champ Was The Dirtiest?

Who was Newman racist towards? Because that guy thought he was a descendant from Africa.

Why do you blame Bowe for who Newman was? Did everybody who ever signed a deal with Don King sicken you as well?

 

Well lets see.

Hitting on the break

Hitting after the bell

Headbutting

Attempted arm braking

Low Blows

Biting

I'd say that list takes some beating, so Michael Gerard Tyson appears to be the winner.

Oops, I forgot, attacking the referee whilst he is attempting to save a beaten fighter.

I think the dirtiest heavyweight ever was probably Valuev.

Oh wait, you didnt mean that kind of dirty?

 

Most of the greats had a few tricks they could rely on when needed to.

 

.....i skipped directly to the last page. this thread should read "which heavyweight champion was the SECOND dirtiest"

first is obviously marciano...

 

I was waiting for you to chime in! :good

What did Ole Ezz tell you back in the day? That Marciano hit him in the adams apple in round 6 and that took the life out of him the rest of the fight?

 

I think a better thread would be which heavyweight champ was the cleanest?

 

Foxy, solid list. But you forgot elbows

Most fighters have a go to 'cheat' that gives them an edge on their opponent. Fighters don't become champions by being nice guys, a few exceptions like Patterson being duly noted. To answer this thread, pick your least favorite champion and there's your dirty fighter! This is more a psychology question than a boxing question in that it reveals biases over realities, all other things being equal!

 

1- Rocky Marciano
2- Mike Tyson
3- Rid**** Bowe

 

Your opinion is incorrect. Bowe never fought dirty. He was one of the cleanest boxers that ever boxed.
