    Ali-Liston was never proven to be a fix.

    So have lots of fights,but until it's proven we must give them the benefit of the doubt.

    It's virtually [almost] impossible to "prove" a fix. Even if the loser claims so.It gives them an excuse that the "winner" was really not the better man.

    Everett/Escalera is considered a fix.

    I think most people now believe Ramirez/WhitakerI was fixed too.

    And Pep's fix (mentioned above, to Lulu Perez), earned him a career ban from fighting in New York City.
