Sorry to say I think the late Dean Francis against Buster Keaton in the Prize Fighter series was one. Barely a glancing blow.

Great thread, thanks chaps.

I didn't know about a lot of these.
It's taken me ages to get to the end, because I have to keep going on YouTube to check them out

[KiwiRider]

It's time to revive the thread with some awful recent ones.

Flores against Ortiz.

Redkach against Prograis.

Hey Duke, what's the beef with this one?
The punch was legit, Redkatch was reacting weird- grant you that - but Prograis can bang to the body, ask Taylor

[Terminator666]

Buster Douglas maybe

Didn’t Browne do some stunt work on the side at some stage?

Jake LaMotta admitted taking a dive against Billy Fox, he says it was to secure a title fight for himself, I never brought into that and what with all the wife beatings , I couldn't see why people hero worship him .

He didn't land it. It's clearly seen from the replay from another angle:

Wow!
Thanks Duke, yes from that camera angle it was a dive, or a way out. And yet from other angles it looked like a landed body shot, right on "the sweet spot".
Bloody heck!!
