Boxing Conspiracy Theories

I once heard something about Cus D'amato secretly being a bisexual/homosexual and that he was in a relationship with Jim Jacobs.

 

We all love a a crooked ass sport. With that said, ain't no way Ali knocked out Liston with that shot in Ali vs Liston II.

 

Malik Scott took a dive to enhance the career of the limited Wilder. Scott a solid if boring boxer tees up on the ropes for his friend Wilder - who throws a slapping left hook that wouldn’t crack an egg followed by a right hand that replays show completely misses the mark. Scott goes down not looking hurt and maintaining eye contact with Wilder - Wilder then turns back to a neutral corner and plays to the crowd - never even looking back to see if his “opponent” got up. The fight is a clear dive.

 

yes but it was the eliminator bout that got Wilder his shot at Stiverne’s belt. Which was critical for him to hold the belt with sub par defenses and not have to fight top men in the division. Not to mention his resume was super soft to even get an eliminator bout in the first place.

 

James J. Jeffries can carry a large deer on his shoulders nine miles to camp without stopping to rest. Chuck Norris can't.

 

No way that right hand knocked him out. Walcott and Ali knew it and so did the crowd.

There is a conspiracy that when Ali is shouting over a downed Liston he is telling him not to sell out and take the money.

 

Duran knocking out a horse. The man who did it and the witnesses were drunk af, so can't really believe them.

 

that is great, I never knew Chuvalo jumped into the ring and approached Ali... yeah far too many people don't buy that that was a legit ko !

 

There was a mild rumor that Ali had thrown the first fight with Spinks so he could reclaim the title for an unprecedented third time, but his behavior during the fight, and afterwards, throws cold water on that. He didn't train and tried to coast most of the fight, assuming Leon would screw up because of inexperience and Ali could capitalize on it. That didn't happen, Spinks was on a mission that night like never before, and by the time Ali realized it, too much time had passed; too much momentum, and age, working against him.

Afterwards, Ali made no excuses, but vowed to get the belt back before he retired. Would that had been enough and he stayed retired ...

 

Monzón knocking out Joe Frazier in sparring.

Supposedly it was in 1975, when Monzón was preparing for Licata and Frazier for the last one with Ali.
