    There's a few things that many find suspicious in both Ali-Liston fights but the so called 'phantom punch' in the second is probably the most notorious.

    The 25lb cosplay costume was too heavy
    Tampered gloves
    Rabbit punch
    Anthony Dirrell who is trained by Sugar Hill was yelling at Breland to stop the fight
    Bootleg D was carrying an injury going into the fight
    Fury was on PEDs
    Bootleg D injured his leg during camp
    Bayless wanted Fury to win and was against Bootleg D
    Dirty tactics

    First fight

    Bootleg D broke his arm during camp
    Broke his hand during camp
    Had the flu
    Fury was possessed by a supernatural force
    The drug-ravaged inactive shell of Fury was 100% and Bootleg D was only 50%
    Long count
    Judges robbed him
    Wasted energy celebrating early
    Was too excited
    Was too nervous
    Was too light
    Ref had smelling salts
    Fury only won 2 rounds
    David vs Goliath scenario

    And there's even more of them as well.

    Is this a joke? Ali - Liston '65 had books written about it with tons of controversy and conspiracy theories. Fury vs. Wilder is kindergarten level.

    Answer the question. Why did you jump in this with your "SMH" reply to my post ON THE TOPIC?

    The only conspiracy theory is how a piece of trash like Wilder become “the biggest puncher ever”, forge such a record and hold that belt so long.

    Serge, I'm deeply dissapointed in your lack of research, given how incomplete the list of excuses for Wilder getting his **** pushed in actually is.

    Regarding Wilder-Fury II, not sure they would be classed as conspiracy theories really, just extremely pi$$ poor excuses IMO.
