In your honest opinion, does taking dives, etc. still exist today in 2010?

LOL at the noobs who said that Pac vs Clottey was staged because 'Clottey didn't fight".

Clottey likes to block punches,wait for his opponent to stop punching then counters. That's his style.
Unfortunately, he was fighting Pacquiao who never stop punching so Clottey never stop blocking.
Any boxing fan who really knows boxing should've known exactly how the fight turned out.

Ahhhhhhh thats what happened was it , looked a lot different to me !!

Clottey-Pacquiao

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yeah I believe there's corruption. Boxing is a business so you have to protect potential superstars a little bit to turn them into cash cows later on.

Agreed. Corruption definitely exists, but if people who think Pac-Clottey is an example are simply wrong about it. That's how Clottey fights, and Pacquiao is the worst possible matchup for him.

Because Clottey fights siimilar style to that , its all the more feasible to swallow the scam without asking why he cut his work rate in 1/2 and backed of everytime he landed anything ,,, just like Margo looks like a plodder getting flogged by Mosley it will be feasible to say he tried hard but was always a plodder , again with half his normal work rate and no real offense ,,,, and you fools will swallow it like Uncle Bobs good little fanboy muppets .

It definatley exists still but not as much. There are many decisions/scorecards that make you go what the ****?! These are pro judges surely they wouldn't score fights that bad?

[Allucard]

At the end of the day, boxing is a business. But it's hard to conceive that boxers in this day in age take dives, payouts, etc. Cheaters will always be around, ie steroids and illegal hand wraps, etc. But flat out losing on purpose? i'm not so sure...

speak on it.

The next big fight in boxing matches a known plaster user against a suspected steroid user.
That should answer your question.

Pac-DelaHoya was FIXED.
Pac-Clottey was FIXED.

and now, Pac-Margarito will be FIXED.

(all fixes arranged by Pac's co-promoter-Oscar DelaHoya)
