Easy one. Seldon simply choosed the wrong sport. He could be an excellent diver... Now, seriously, he should be banned from boxing after that fight... TRuly a shameful performance.
That fight sucked ass in '96 Vegas......... Though, the prefight build-up was great............ Seldon was looking good in '95 and '96, but left his balls in the locker room before getting waxed by a buffed, but faded Tyson....... :bbb MR.BILL
Seldon was actually a good fighter, but he did not have a great chin-added to the fact he was not that tough mentally to take a big punch, but his speed and power were good.
Its disappointing from a fans point of view but obviously if you cant hold it together you just cant perform. The usual control and focus will escape you if the other man can sense feelings of being overwhelmed and being out of depth.
I think seldom took a dive because he was the hitman to wipe out tupac, he simply didn't want to miss his cue
This was Tysons warm up for the Holyfield fight. Seldon took no dive, he just took the money and ran, Tysons punches (to me) didnt even connect. Even Tyson probably thought...wtf is this guy doing? The irony is that the 'bums' Tyson fought (MCneeley/Mathis) put up much more effort than the 'champions' like Bruno/Seldon
