    It was a dive considering it wasn't his chin but he layed out like he was knocked out because he didn't want to fight anymore

    I don't why people keep saying that Ali Liston was a dive. Ali landed a beautiful short right hand over Liston's jab which floored. Look at Liston's head shake. That was a legit ko.

    I hate this highlight because im an Emanuel Augustus fan. He takes those feather shots then even catches himself on the way down. This is a bad one

    Yeah,that's a quit.

    He could have gone up but he didn't wanna any more.

    A dive is when you go down intentionally.He didn't.

    I'll agree to disagree he was looking for a soft spot to lay down before he got caught I consider that a dive. Also anyone who takes a dive also quit.

    As you wish.A blatent dive it is not,he got hit by a monster right hand flush,went dow nand quit.

    Mario Cawley let Rahman punch him,Rock missed! and he still went down.That's a blatent dive.

    Hard to spot a dive sometimes, if it wasn't hard it'd get caught and called out.
    Quitters are easier to make out... some recent ones
    Povetkin - Sykes was horrendous
    Arreola - McCline was almost but not quite as bad

    Good calls.

    Altough I give credit to McCline for actually trying,he hit'em pretty good in the 3rd.

    Sykes was noncombat from the start.

    Orlin Norris vs. Vitali Klitschko. Klitschko didn't even hit him, and was all "WTF ???" when Norris laid down and played dead.

    Haha i just went and watched the Tyson Seldon fight again and read a post on youtube that stated this:
    "Funny story. My father and I actually met Bruce Seldon a month prior to this fight when he was training. My dad asked him how he was feeling and he said he knew Tyson was going to cream him but the payout would set him up for life.

    Also, Seldon autographed my hat. My name is Steve. He wrote "To Steave, WBA Champ Bruce Seldon" Who the hell spells "Steve" wrong?"

    Haha him spelling Steve wrong is pretty funny if its true.
