That was truly pathetic.

How did Seldon get paid for that?

Shannon Taylor KO round 1 vs Livingstone Bramble 1995, is number one on my worst ever dives list. Taylor seemed genuinely embarrassed.

This one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yVaDXr7x7s always looked suspicious to me.

Yea really. Down twice from invisible blows, tyson really had some horror factor back then. Funny to think a 'heavyweight champion' would basically dive on the ground rather than fight to defend his title.

McNeeley/Tyson was a bigger fix, not that he actually dived but...

Signing the contract was the fix part, but the "cocoon of horror" quote..... priceless.

The amount of Aussies who have vehemently defended that as legitimate ("Greeny simply punches that hard!") is laughable too.

Apparently Lee Oma's dive against Bruce Woodcock was laughable.

looks to me that Greens left hook upshot grazed Brigg's temple.
and Briggs may have been so nervous,high strung and wired in the opening seconds that it did Ko him.

This is such bullshit and ill tell you why. McNeeley was never going to beat Tyson on the best night of his lif. He was shit with a padded record. And who cares? Tyson hadnt fought in years, only a moron would have matched him tough in his first fight out of prison. In fact he was matched too tough too quick but they wanted to rush him to the title. Vecchione may have stopped the fight prematurely by seconds robbing people of the spectacle of a tyson ko but McNeeley was on his way out in mere seconds. Peter wasnt a pimple on his dads ass and his dad wasnt much either.

mike Tyson was the biggest fraud in boxing history. without his setups you would never heard of him.

buster douglass proved he was a hyped up phoney, as did evander holyfield. and lennox lewis.

Has anyone mentioned Michael Gomez walking out of that fight he was winning

To be fair to him, he was about 12 - 15 years past his best when he fought Lewis.

I agree about Douglas & Holyfield though; they confirmed that he was largely a bully with no plan B.
