    Bernard Dunne vs Poonswatt(spellings likely wrong) Dunne was taking talking about a possible fight with Vasquez in the near future after this fight. Then he was KO'd

    Foreman-Schulz. Massive cherry pick. Thankfully the judges had been taken care of.

    It certainly wasn't a "cherry pick" though.

    Don King had offered Old Foreman $5million to fight Tyson, but George refused due to King's contract options...

    So James Douglas was the last minute replacement.

    Floyd had already bought himself out of his contract before the Margarito offer,but part of the offer was to resign with TR.Much like when Arum got Cotto to resign in 09 by giving him the Pacquiao fight.He got paid the same money to fight Baldomir who held a belt where as Margarito brought **** all to the table.

    Tyson McBride.

    Wow, what a rude awakening that must've been for Tyson.

    Enzo vs Ola Afolabi.

    They thought Ola was coming to just collect pay, he paid in full!

    Bob Arum chickened out of a PW rematch and chose Shane instead...

    The worst thing was, despite the pathetic arm-punching, Zombie Tyson took at least 4 rounds.

    Then his new trainer, Jeff Fennech stops it, for fear of Tyson going bitey. :patsch

    I wouldn't say Pacquiao was a cherry pick, even though publicly we all thought he's going to get destroyed easily. Doubt DLH agreed with the public and knew he's in for hell.
