Completely forgot about Naseem bodyslamming Soto back in the day. What's the craziest/stupidest thing you guys have seen done in the ring?
I think Mike Tyson's entire career probably fits into this category.

Golota's low blows.
No Mas.
Tyson bite.
Fan man.
Cintron's dive
Floyd running around the whole 12th round against canelo and maidana2.
Floyd sucker punching Ortiz.
Floyd using his elbow.
Floyd crying about a tiny little cut over his eye.
Floyd excessively holding.
Floyd wearing Mexican colors on his shorts.
Floyd wearing a sombrero.
Hmmmm. I don't know why, but I get the impression you may not like Floyd.
I interpreted the Nate Campbell clip differently. Without the context it literally just looks like he wanted to get knocked out and finish the match. Crazy stuff.
That riot after Maskaev-Rahman too if nobody mentioned it.
Rahman gets KO'd through the ropes and several rows of what I presume to be Rahman supporters go nuts, including throwing a steel chair that nails one of the officials in the head.
Never seen the Nate Campbell video before. Anyone have any background to this?
I remember watching the fight and as far as I know there is no background. That clip is the whole story.
He was dropping his hands trying to look cool and slick and belittle his opponent, probably expecting them to throw a wide hook. Instead they threw a semi-uppercut and knocked him out.
Extremely embarrassing. He pretty much became a journeyman after that.
No suprise but I don't think Golota was all there mentally.
BTW, thinking of Golota's mental state reminds me of when Oliver Mccall had a nervuos breakdown in his rematch against Lewis. Weird watching him suddenly start crying and snivelling while walking around the ring mid round.
Another epic moment!
December 14, 1996 Madison Square Garden. Riddick Bowe vs. Andrew Golota II. An insane amount of low blows followed by a near riot in the ring. Fantastic.
Floyd running around the whole 12th round against canelo and maidana2.

Am I the only one who thinks that the Tyson bite wasn't THAT crazy? Pure frustration at Holyfield's headbutting if you ask me.
Bites have happened before and after that but it was a really big deal at the time. I remember being in a barbershop with guys all still talking about the ear bite weeks after.
It was mike tyson who emboddied every stereotype about boxers so here was this convicted rapist with a speech impediment who was raised from childhood for nothing but beating people up, suddenly biting peoples ears off. The media couldn't let such an opportunity slip by.
The funniest interview I"ve have ever watched was Mike Tyson when He said his Back was broken, Funniest KO Loss was Zab Judah, and lets not Forget Floyds whining to Leaderman You never give me credit
