Not a bad a list. That cheating fuck Marg certainly deserved #1! Pedroza, and Casa shoulda also been on the list. Casa threw more elbows then Tyson, and that says alot! Whilst Pedroza was a master of breaking every rule in the book. I think we should put them all into categories. Kings of headbutts: Holy, and Golota. One day Tim Bradley, and Ward may make the list. Kings of low blows: Pedroza, Duran, Golota, and Tito. Kings of elbows: Casamayor, and Tyson. Kings of rabbit punching: Hopkins, Lewis, and Benn. Kings of hitting after the bell: Tyson, Holy, and Bowe. Kings of hitting while down: Norris in a class all by myself.
Fritzie Zivic, Harry Greb and Sandy Saddler must be sat down in heaven with a round of drinks having a fantastic laugh at that list.
Holy was more dirty then Bowe. In fact, Holy takes the cake. Out of modern fighters anyway. Elbows, headbutts, low blows, headbutts, hitting after the bell, rabbit punching, holding and hitting, headbutts..... Holy did it all. Then after fighting dirty, he proclaims himself a man of god after the fight, before going home to his 18 kids by 16 bitches, and slapping his wife around.
Bowe was a cheap shot artist, hitting on teh breaks, after the bell, in teh press conference, low blows...he was a dirty motherfucker and that's why I wanted Lewis to Pummel him! Pity Bowe was terrified of Lewis.
::....but yes, as you say it...it is true. Zivic was filthy. I think it was said of Zivic that his favourite punches were the headbutt, knee and elbow, and that he would demonstrate them, for free.
Casamayor can also get there on headbutts. He blatantly came in with his head so many tmes against Katsidis that I started laughing. You expect a guy moving and at range to keep a guy off with a jab. Instead of flicking that jab, he tried to keep distance with a headbutt.
Always an interesting discussion, this one. To throw a hat into the ring yet not mentioned... Rocky Marciano Saddler may in fact be the worst there ever was.
Fritzie Zivic, Bummy Davis, Sandy Saddler, Duran, Pedroza, Wilfredo Gomez any list without the above names is not an informed list
also from the real old days, Kid McCoy, Abe Attell (not only dirty, but dishonest) , Ad Wolgast, Harry Greb
If you are going to mention Ad Wolgast, then you have to mention Battling Nelson, because that opens up the Nelson vs Gans fight....

</P> one of the few fights where LaPorte fought like he gave a damn... good puncher, good boxer, FANTASTIC chin but he fell asleep sometimes, stopped punching... when he was busy, he was terrific Pedroza was such a scumbag, LOL "when you're a professional, you don't cry" was his response after LaPorte called him dirty after the fight
