    The biggest rip-off in boxing history ?

    Perhaps Don King deserves some criticism, but to be fair the public would've paid to see Tyson in with ANYONE.

    McNeeley's corner were ridiculous.
    "Hurricane", to his credit, was trying to make a fight of it. Sure, it wouldn't have lasted more than another 10 or 20 seconds, but every second counts.

    :D Yah i remember back in the day when this fight happened and of course Mike was still a phenomenom back then, it was a sad joke that the McNeely people not only hyped their man up along with the media as being a legit fighter for Mike to work out his ring rust on but funny to me that they maybe believed he had a shot.
    I'm not trying to discredit McNeely for trying but come on. To deny anything but an utter wreck against Mike was silly.
