    Wilder vs Scott is the obvious one, either that or Scott just wanted to get out of their.

    Wlad Klitschko's lack of action in the Fury fight made me very suspicious. I know that Fury is a great boxer mover, but the timing of the defeat, the subsequent move of belts at the time cash cow AJ was on the up and the later implosion of Fury, were all part of the circumstantial evidence that made me think it a fix.

    Mayweather v Pacquiao was a fake.
    Sure, it was the same result as if it had been real but if you honestly know boxing you should be able to tell they were taking it easy on one another.
    They were holding back all the way.

    Hoya wanted to pull out of that fight because he had sliced his hand and had it stitched. Hopkins, his soon-to-be business partner, convinced Hoya that it was financially in their interest to go through with it. That's where the suspicion is introduced.

    They seemed to box a first few rounds in which Hopkins, the bigger man, was backing up as if Hoya was forcing him to. Then suddenly after a few rounds, Hopkins began to take the initiative seeming to force Hoya on the defensive. Shortly after, Hopkins appeared to have uncorked a blow to Hoya's liver whereupon Hoya immediately dropped to the canvas on his belly and began writhing, grimacing and pummeling the canvas with his fists as if in agonized outrage.

    WEIRD!

    Whether faked or not only Hoya and Hopkins know. But the situation surrounding the fight increases the likelihood that it was fixed significantly.

    Luke Campbell vs Argenis Mendez - Mendez floored Campbell in the second round and then never threw another power punch.

    Haye vs Valuev - Don King basically sold Valuev's belt to Haye. 12 rounds of nothing. Haye gets the split decision. Valuev never fights again. Haye has to fight a retiring John Ruiz in his next fight as the final pay off to King.

    All of those fights had a fighter that was clearly better than the other, that's it.
