As we all know, when the words "foul" or "dirty" are talked up, some fighters out there are known for pushing it to the limits. Stone me if you would, because Im sure that missed a few obvious ones.
If I missed a few, please post 'em.

I'm still pissed about that ppv fight between Hopkins and Dawson in there first fight. He's generally known in the boxing community for his antics, but that 1 there was the one that did it for me. I picked Hopkins.

Haha I think everyone is still pissed about that (not only the ending but the fact that it was a ppv!)

Funny.. Dawson seemed to push that Hopkins was a faking quitter... then his bitch ass quits against Ward... LOL.. Dawson also was very unemphatic in his win over Hopkins.. he did very little and in watching the bout it reinforces that Hopkins arguably only lost to RJJ in his career aside from his first pro bout...

Yup, exactly. Real or fake injury, He's done with ppv for the last stretch of his career. I don't care who he fights, no more support from me. Guess we all fell for the oldest champ hype, otherwise I would've known better after his second fight with RJJ... "I musta fo-got"

I have to go with Zab with Ortiz being close behind. The others guys on the list do get dirty, but Judah and Ortiz blatantly foul especially when taken a beating

The most obvious choice would be Hopkins, so I left him out and voted for Maidana. Dude almost always gets some shit started in his fights. I dont know if he blatantly fouls in front of the ref, or his timing with being sneaky hasn't been calibrated properly. Lol

Im gonna go with Zab Judah. Some of the time, Hopkins fouls are veteran tactics. Judah flat out, blatantly cheats when he is losing.

Somehow I knew people would say BHop but at least Hopkins knows how to mask his craft, whereas fighters like Victor Ortiz are more blatanly obvious with his dirty tactics.
Watch Ortiz's fights, he is always hitting in back of the head or trying to headbutt or hitting a man when he's on the ground.
Ortiz's dirty in your face tactics far outweigh BHop's.

Just watched K-9/Spinks II again last night...gotta add K-9 to this list.
Dude is just a muscle-bound no hoper at this point, and his ring IQ is nothing to talk about. He hits behind the head, wrestles, and his bad balance usually makes for he and his opponent hitting the canvas.

if were talking the last decade or so, I guess b-hop takes the cake...i consider holyfield a runnerup i guess
but the foulest of ALL time is also the self-reputed greatest of ALL time, Ali. His sleight of hand was better than his jab!
