Who are some of the fighters that have made you think that they got counted out on purpose even though they put on a big acting job. It coulb be because they just don't want it anymore, were getting embarrassed, didn't have anything left in the tank, just came for the payday or thought that it was just too much trouble to continue in their particular fight. Doesn't always have to be the obvious like Bruce Seldon vs. Mike Tyson.
Ya Im sure that FLUSH right hand marciano hit walcott sqaure on the jaw with in slow motion replay didnt have anything to do with it. :roll:
Tubb's against Brian Nielsen. Winning then mysteriously quits with a "rib injury". He's said in interviews he threw another fight against a hard hitter who's name escapes me for coke money. Same with Cobb. He was involved with some fighters (Sonny Barch) who were proven to be involved in thrown fights. Some people say some of Butterbean and comeback Foreman's opponents laid down.
Golota Lewis He was nowhere to be found close to fight time. He wasnt ready for that fight. Mcall Lewis, Oli broke down. Tyson McBride, first he tried to foul out, then cut himself, he just wanted out of that fight.
Golota was coming off a year of inactivity as of the Lewis fight as well. Not good circumstances for him at all.
No one's saying the KD wasn't legit, but Walcott looked like he could have gotten up if he wanted to.
I think that disrespects both Jersey Joe and Rocky. Walcott was an old 38 and had been though hell against Marciano in fight one, also getting to Valhalla, he had nothing left to give, it was no dive, Walcott was ruined and broken man before the bout had begun.
Some what infamously lately, Michael Gomez.... Of course Derrick Dukes took a dive Bruce 'The Mouse' Strauss
I think Spinks could of got up against tyson. Mighten have ended any different but he certainly put on a show trying to get up. Seldon against bowe, oscar against hopkins - never seen a fighter so relieved the fight was over as oscae was.
Yeah, Oscar feigning a liver punch and moments later pounding the canvas with the same arm that would normally be held against the rib cage after getting tagged like that. How bout poor Emmanuel Augustus... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X2wPWMURJ4
