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

    and now, Pac-Margarito will be FIXED.

      Probably not in title fights, but I'm sure there are guys that are desperate for a paycheque, that jump in with rising fighters for $1000, and take a knee because they're only there to pad the record. They take a bit of a beating and then bow out.

          Of course, with people betting millions on a fighter to win, you had better believe that sometimes a boxer gets an unexpected phone call telling him that he had better come away the loser of the fight. Then they are told that their son or daughter is sleeping right now wearing blue pajama bottoms and has a poster of Hannah Montana or Spongebob on the wall......that boxer does what he is told.

            what's creepier is that they say it's a soft spoken stuttering white dude who's been making those calls lately.........

              It's impossible for anyone to think Mayweather/Mosley was fixed, but not find any su****ion in Pacquiao/Clottey. Especially considering how much damage Clottey did with those few punches he did throw. Kinda gives a hint that if he threw the kind of punches that someone trying to win a fight would throw, he could have gotten a TKO from cuts or somethin.

              If anyone can't see that, than they're just bias.
              i totally agree with this post

                Have to be naive to think it doesn't happen, that being said I don't think it happens in any of the decent sized fights, it usually happens in off-tv fights I'd guess...

                      So because the fight went the way it was expected, that mean it was fixed? He cut his workrate in half because Pac never stopped throwing. That's how Clottey always fights. Why aren't you asking if Margarito-Clottey was fixed, where Clottey was incredible for four rounds and then cut his workrate? Why aren't you asking if Cotto-Clottey was fixed, since Clottey lowered his workrate in the championship rounds despite having Cotto cut, hurt, an on fumes out there?
