    Etienne threatened to withdraw from the fight just hours before it went down. There were all kinds of outside things going on, and he did get some extra money to go through with the fight.

    The Black Rhino just mailed it in. He could have continued, but had no desire to after getting KD'd. I agree that spitting out his mouthpiece and closing his eyes and acting dead looked ridiculous, but there are a lot less punishing ways to throw a fight than to let Tyson hit you with a clean shot to the skull...

      There is essentially nothing we can do about Tyson. If he were to die tommorow, nuthuggers would create threads about how good he was, how good he could have been, etc. God forbid the fact that he ever fought, and never fought anyone worth a damn. Those he did, he lost to. Mike Tyson is the most overrated fighter of all time. And Etienne did take a dive. Tyson hits hard, but not that hard.

        I think he simply got caught...was not badly hurt...but figured he would stay down so he could collect his pay and not take anymore damage...

        he seemed to have gone in there with the mentality to just trade with Mike, hope for the best...if it works, it works...if not, then oh well, I am staying down

          Watch old fights of Tyson, Tyson knocked out plenty of chumps with that punch. You obviously don't know what your talking about when you say "Tyson hits hard but not that hard".

            Yeah, but they didn't go flying through the air like effeminate acrobats, did they?

              Toney knocked Evander Holyfield out with a body shot.

              Tyson landed plenty of flush punches on Holy. No go.

              Toney does not hit harder than Tyson.

              Chris Byrd could knock out the people Tyson did.

              you are just a "fan".

                There was a lot of difference between Holyfields though.

                  i bet holyfield dies of a heart attack in a couple of years, or maybe ten more years at the most

                  i love the guy and got mad respect for him,but he ****ed up his heart with the juice
