The top 10 dirtiest/rough housed fighters in boxing

[tliang1000]

Another fun one. You know what to do...

[Curtis Lowe]

Hopkins the dirtiest. He is also boring. Can't stand to watch him fight anymore.

[hitman_hatton1]

sandy saddler is untouchable on the dirty stakes i think. :yep

[Slicknick56]

hopkins today

[cpnasty]

Casamayor

[Brickhaus]

Holyfield always has been and always will be dirtier than Hopkins. John Ruiz is another one. Golota's another one. Judah's gotta be up there as well.

[JamRos]

Andrew Golota. He did it all biting, headbutt, lowblows

[hitman_hatton1]

why is joe calzaghe up there. :huh

or ricky hatton tbh. :yep

shit i forgot about holy!

[tliang1000]

Bc of their infamous hold and hits.

[tliang1000]

Andrew Golota. He did it all biting, headbutt, lowblows

good point!

[Orishaman]

You guys are not even close, the dirties boxer ever has to be Fritzie Zivic...by a mile, no one even close....maybe Spider Rico on Rocky I

[the_what]

Bernard Hopkins. And your threads are getting annoying.

[Smith]

Bc of their infamous hold and hits.Youre quite simple huh? Ricky Hatton yes, but go and WATCH A CALZAGHE FIGHT, and then tell me he hits and holds.:patsch . Thats quite the opposite of what he does ignorant noob

[JETSKI]

shit i forgot about holy!

Golota doesn't fight dirty anymore. But give Holyfield a chance to use his head & its a done deal by the Real Deal.

:yep

[Thread Stealer]

Surely Fritzie Zivic is not far ahead of Billy Smith.

[codeman99998]

No golota?

BOO!

[cpnasty]

I decry Casamayor

[Thread Stealer]

Barerra. Look at some of his past fights: hitting Marquez when he was already down. Pacquiao 1 & 2, hitting after the break and head butts.

Shoving Hamed into the ringpost (although that was very entertaining).

[Dorfmeister]

Jose Luis Castillo and I question vehemently why do people would consider Chicanito dirty and why do people call Miguel Migual since I have that name and that pisses me off...

[Motor City Sam]

Evander Holyfield. Elbows, headbutts, etc.

[Dorfmeister]

Evander Holyfield. Elbows, headbutts, etc.

That also pisses me off but since very much untrue, it can only be meant to piss people off, a Tyson fan I suppose?...

[Brickhaus]

What are you talking about? Holyfield is a master at using his head as a third fist. And I HATE Tyson.

[Motor City Sam]

Brother, I am not a Tyson fan and I'm not saying something to tick people off. Are you honestly trying to say Holyfield doesn't use his head as a weapon in the ring??

[Punisher33]

Every fighter has a weapon they use at there disposal other than your fists, wether its Tyson with the elbows or Holyfield with his head, a little rough house tactics are just a part of boxing just like giving the quarterback a little extra mustard on your hit.

[pipe wrenched]

Andrew Golota. He did it all biting, headbutt, lowblows

That's what I was gonna say. No foul Pole?? Golota throws mean COMBO'S to the ball sack with evil intent.

[MacManJr.]

Barerra. Look at some of his past fights: hitting Marquez when he was already down. Pacquiao 1 & 2, hitting after the break and head butts.:good

[Dorfmeister]

A Master of All Trades you better say, but I would put my seoul on sale for eternal burning under the Prince Of Darkness Himself if there was any piece of un-biased evidence of what has been irresponsibily suggested.

[Dorfmeister]

Brother, I am not a Tyson fan and I'm not saying something to tick people off. Are you honestly trying to say Holyfield doesn't use his head as a weapon in the ring??

Yes, I am bro. I believe from the soles of my shoes to the tip of my hair that Evander is the cleanest of living and active pro-fighters out there, just that he came across some many sluggers that he may have retaliated here and there, thugs like Dwight Braxton, Rick Parkey, Carlos De Leon, Michael Dokes, Seamus McDonaugh, Adilson Rodriguez, Riddick Bowe, Ray Mercer, Mike Tyson, Vaugh Bean, John Ruiz and Vinnie Maddalone. That's a whole lot of sluggers and badasses for a single man to take...

[Punisher33]

If Holyfield fights clean, then who fights dirty?

[klion22]

I know Hopkins said it was accidental but i'm sure he headbutted Wright in purpose. He knew what angle Wright was coming in and knew exactly how to make it seem like it was accidental. That's what makes him what he is. He knows exactly what he's doing every second of the ring. And for that, i respect his abilities.

[Zakman]

John Ruiz - nobody flaunted the basic rules of the sport so regularly and so blatantly.

Unlike most of the fighters mentioned, too - without illegal tactics Ruiz would never have "won" anything more than a regional title. The other fighters had actual boxing skills they could fall back on

The other fighters had actual boxing skills they could fall back on I agree, Ruiz has minimal skills with great backing from Don King. The fighters that were listed have skills that use rough house tactics to increase there overall ability to win a match, Ruiz' using cheating as his only effective skill.

[jopez707]

Hatton, Hopkins, and Holyfield seem to be among the games very best at roughhousing. Barrera also fights rough when the battles get heated.

You have a flair for the language, Dorfmeister. I may not agree with you, but I admire your support of your fighter.

[codeman99998]

Lol.

Holyfield is SO dirty.

Take a look at Hasim Rahman's head after he fought Holy. You think that was caused by a punch?

[istmeno]

no list is complete without the master eusebio pedroza

[Thread Stealer]

This is my ultimate dirty fighter:

First you have Panama Lewis in the corner.

Then you have Eusebio Pedroza's penchant for hitting guys in the back and throwing elbows. You've got Andrew Golota's low blows for viciousness, but have him do it as often as Bernard Hopkins does when the ref is on the other side. Either Golota again or Mike Tyson for teeth use. Evander Holyfield's frequency of headbutts, but with the slickness of Carlos Maussa so we can all laugh at it. Terry Norris for hitting guys when they're down. Take some of the old timers like Fritzie Zivic or Sandy Saddler for thumbing (they'll still find a way to do it with the new gloves) and lacing. Tyson again for hitting after the bell. Riddick Bowe for punching behind the head. And in case the fighter can't make weight, we'll have Jose Luis Castillo's old doctor or the commissioner of the NYSAC in 2000.

you forgot to sprinkle in a little wilfredo gomez, then you have him sign with don king and fight for a wbc title sanctioned by jose sulaiman.

that is about as bad as you can get.

[brooklyn1550]

Bernard Hopkins

[Pimp C]

Why is Hernandez on this list?

[istmeno]

Why is Hernandez on this list?

truth is the only ones there who actually belong are bhop casa, and hatton. the rest the rough fighting is not really part of their identity in the ring.

[rodney]

Fritzie Zivic was the best.
What ever it takes to win.

[radianttwilight]

From this list - Hopkins. He's dirty on purpose, which is a little different than a guy like say, Sam Peter. ALOT of guys rabbit punch (Ali did it alot - watch the film!), Peter just takes it to the extreme. Hopkins is outrageously dirty, though. Remember the Tito fight, where he talked about making it "knees and elbows"? :D

MAB is pretty dirty too...but more in the sense of brawling it out (with the exception of the infamous Naseem turnbuckle-smash!), and a much more restrained dirty fighter. The second Pacquiao fight, for instance...he headbutted, if it was on purpose, to regain control of a fight he felt was spinning out of his control, as opposed to a guy like Hopkins who does it whenever he can :good

Hopkins has been in a couple of comical dirty fights, too. Remember Echols? :D BODYSLAM!

The Hopkins of old was GREAT! He will sneak some illegal moves here and there. Knows how to pretend that he was hurt. Now he toned a down a bit. He used to hold someone and his opponent would be tired and bruised from all kinds of places. The guys leg will start to hurt, loose toe nail... jk...

[tliang1000]

I can't believe Judah didn't get a single vote...

[Zakman]

I can't believe Judah didn't get a single vote...

I just corrected that!!!:yep

Ruiz would be my choice - most of these fighters only use illegal tactics as a supplement for actual skills, whereas Ruiz used them to make up for not having any. That alone makes him the worst.

But Judah is a dirty, front-running punk, so he certainly deserves at least one vote!:good

[asero]

Margarito!!!

[SexualPanda]

Hatton without a doubt. He got away with frigging murder against Zoo.

Of course having your uncle ref the fight also helped.
