You are bored and should be in bed instead of trying to raise such mischief

[tiny_acres]

If that was a dive.Berbick deserves an academy award and a star on the walk of fame.

...indeed, Mr P is in an impish mood tonight!

[misterpunch]

yes he did - about 3 times

[RazorKO]

You might as well just say Herol Graham took a dive against Julian Jackson.

[Ezzard]

Poisonous gas was pumped into his hotel room the night before the fight. This is accepted knowledge.

[SaadOffTheDeck]

He learned the art from Cuevas against Tommy. Here is another one. Did Michael Dokes take a dive against Razor Ruddock? Inquiring minds must know.

I'm sorry, I saw the Marvin Hagler dive thread and needed to join in the madness.

[SenorPipino]

It's possible.
I've always contended that Mike Quarry took a dive against Bob Foster.
Seeing is believing.

No, but it's common knowledge that the light punching Ruddock had loaded gloves (plaster of paris)

[klompton]

Its always been suspect to me because its similar to the obvious dive Dick Tiger took against Bob Foster in that both guys were left drooling on the canvas.

[IRLangmaid25]

Absolutely not. Trevor Berbick got beheaded by a hungry young fighter in the shape of Michael Gerald Tyson who was out to making history to become the youngest boxer to clinch part of the World Heavyweight title and that is what happened.

So both Quarry AND Tiger took dives against Foster??
Maybe it's time we reevaluated Foster's standing as an ATG.
Rondon didn't look like he had any intention of doing business either.

Bob himself clearly took a dive against Frazier.

[Othro]

So let's say this guy wasn't trolling and this was a serious question.

[misterpunch]

berbick taking a dive in the Tyson fight is simply a little joke

[Duch]

Berbick must have been a fuckin' dolphin

[Cap]

There was some talk that Berbick was using since about the time of his non-fight with ST Gordon. He looked distracted in a few of his fights. Tyson was a good puncher but the guys he hit didn't always go Boom! Berbick did look peculiar. Like something just disconnected all of a sudden....

[Jan]

this is the very last fight in history where i have a speculation that it was a dive. tyson said before ( or after?) the fight that he wants/wanted to bust berbicks eardrum. tyson hit berbick on the ear with the left hook. the ear is connected to the sense of balance.

[magwitch]

Absolutely not. Trevor Berbick got beheaded by a hungry young fighter in the shape of Michael Gerald Tyson who was out to making history to become the youngest boxer to clinch part of the World Heavyweight title and that is what happened.

*Gerard

[Cutman Scabbers]

What would have been the motivation?

[BoxBuzz]

Hmm Was it a dive Trevor took? Or a dump?
