Stanley Ketchel vs. Billy Papke II
Joe Butler vs. Jack Bonner I
Al Davis vs. Fritzie Zivic I

I'm sure that "Mysterious" Billy Smith and Harry Greb were cohort in some of the dirtiest fights ever.

I've never seen it... but from reading about it, including first-hand accounts of the fighters.... Armstrong-Zivic bouts were some of the dirtest ever...

One of the Saddler/Elorde fights, I believe it was the second, was ridiculous.

Tyson beat Ruddock's balls like Ric Flair in the rematch.

One of the dirtiest fights that I remember was Samuel Serrano vs Julio "El Diablito" Valdez...It was so ugly that police had to intervene. It was in 1979 in San Juan, Puerto Rico

Marciano vs Cockell was a dirty bout. It immediately sprang to my mind.

the british newspapers claimed that cockell should have rightly been the world heavyweight champion after that fight, declaring it would always have been a DQ win for him if it was in a british ring.

When I saw this fight a few years ago I was sickened by it.

Turned me off on Rocky, to be honest.

Don was just as bad, I haven't watched the fight in a few years but they both gave as bad as they got.
