Best low-blow has to be Pedroza. He was the GOAT when it came to nut-busters and he did it consistently, in every fight. Ottke by far the most hometown decisions. Holyfield was great at head-butting, and I think Bazooka Limon was a specialist as well, although he was usually the one who wound up with a cut

Holyfield and Hopkins
meh.
The Holyfield head butt would fvck up his opponent opening them up for the Holyfield low blow.
The Hopkins head butt merely pissed off his opponents causing them to complain to the ref during the ensuing clinch.

I say Evander had the superior head butt.
I agree here. Evander's head but was a weapon and crafty with it too.

This helped make Pedroza the most "complete" fighter of all time.

Hometown decisions - Paul Pender - Don't ever fight him in Boston as Ray Robinson found out.
Also, Johnny Saxton - Don't know if it was his hometown or not, but just about everyone who saw the fight thought he lost to Kid Gavilan as the Cuban Hawk lost his title to never get another shot. Saxton was allegedly mob controlled, and this is likely what cost Gavilan his welterweight title.
