Gun to your head - could you name 3 fights in history where you 100% believe a fighter took a dive?

All of Jun Long Zhang's fights.

 

Odlh v hopkins
Witherspoon v smith
Benn v collins 2

 

Saul Alvarez - Kovalev (later Kovalev said in his instagram, after many talk bad things that he sell himself for money, something like "i have a wife, i have a kid, i should think for them and how we will live, and if somebody put money for my win in that fight, he's just one st*pid man and it's not my fault"
Saul Alvarez - Jacobs
Wilder - Ortiz

 

Wilder v Scott
Allen v Darch
Wilder v Stiverne

 

Martin at least got legitimately hit with a right hand to the chin unlike Paul Briggs or Malik Scott

 

All of these imo were defo fixed.. Dave Allen too, couple of his fights..Gomez v the gypo , forget his name.. I had a sneaky suspicion that Chisora could be got for the right money, a few of his fights didn’t make sense. Bruno v McCall I felt was dodge, to set up the massive money fight with Bruno Tyson 2

 

i know the conventional wisdom is that Moorer vs Foreman wasn't a dive [after all, the innocuous-looking 'money shot' to one side, we were talking about a fighter with a track record of poor punch resistance who'd been on the wrong end of some sustained punishment], and i certainly don't *100%* believe it was, but, still, i'll always have at least a healthy dose of scepticism, call it 25% or so.

 

Mario Daser vs Ola Afolabi was one of the most disgraceful fixed fights I've seen recently. Parker vs Bowie Tupou also seemed a little off.

 

1. De La Hoya vs Hopkins
2. Matthyssee vs Pacquiao
3. Micheel Spink vs Mike Tyson

 

Herbie Hide

 

So true...

That was Jesse Fergusson. Mercer never fought Bentt, but tried to pay off Fergusson to take a dive in the first fight and lost, and only edged the rematch.

Briggs vs Green
Rourke vs Miller
Wilder vs Scott
Ali vs Liston II
Haye vs Harrison
Tyson vs Seldon


There were 2 fights that I know if where the replay showed nothing landed at all, one even at least 4 inches off. Don't know which fighters though, but they're probably in some compilation videos.

Incidentally, that one reveals what a sewer rat Richardson is, with his taunting of De La Hoya from the corner prior to the bodyshot KO. He's played it cooler post-stroke, but nothing's really changed, he's still a turd.

 

That's right! Thanks for the correction

 

Does Andre Dirrell chucking himself to the canvas against Arthur Abraham and twitching like he was hooked up to the mains count?
