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

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 .

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".
