    tyson didnt even land his punch on the first knockdown and the second knockdown wasnt even a clean shot.
    seldon was a champion that night so you'd expect more of a fight.

    the stumble seldon did when he got up was clearly an act or was it?

    seldon **** himself , i do not know what happened to his purse but it should have been witheld , as boxing is a proffesional sport where people pay a lot of money to watch and he cheated the paying public out of there money, so should not have got any himself.

    Seldon THREW himself to the canvas after receiving a glancing blow...definitely was not KO'd by a punch. It was ridiculous, but I can't say I wouldn't have done the same thing against a prime Tyson...but I'm not a pro boxer, who should have more pride in his work. Like Tyson said "they all have a plan....until they get hit".

    I'm certain he did. That said Seldon wasn't exactly sturdy chinned. Knocked down 3 times vs McCall and I just watched Riddick Bowe blast Seldon away inside 1.

    Seldon left his heart and balls back in the locker room prior to Tyson in 1996...... "Seldon & McNeeley" are the WORST efforts I have ever seen on PPV........ At least Michael Spinks tried to fight back in '88..... Peace.....

    If you watch it, Seldon clearly saw everything Tyson was throwing, and was ready to fall whenever a good punch landed. He was probably paid well for the dive, but not enough because he had to come back. He's not a good actor, though.

    mcneely actually put up a fight. its just that he got a little crazy and got hit by one of tysons rockets. and plus his corner stopped the fight, he still wanted to continue.

    Seldon sold advertising space on the bottom of his shoes. I don't remember who bought it but you could see the sponsor's name clearly when he was laying on the canvas. British boxing writers had a laugh about it in several stories I read.
