    Small time fights sure, but in the big time I doubt they have enough cash to make it worthwhile to all those involved.

        based on the quality of opposition, their age, inactivity and style as far considered punching power (see Khan).

        (tailor made and cherry picked)

        I think its fair enough, as long as the promoters were sure their cashcows can win the fight.

        I mean in the beginning of every career the opposition has been chosen for the fighters so they can build up some experience and boost their confidence.

        the sad story is crowned champions still cherry picks and takes on fighters and forgot about the legit mandos.

        but I think there_re still some corrupt promoters who pays other fighters to lose.......

              clottey was never a high volume puncher , pac just smothered his offence with his high workrate and made him look like a statue , nothing fishy about that IMO

                Has there even been an explanation why Shane literately "turned off" after two rounds of ass kicking.....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........


                Could there be some type of "perservation" of the BIG fight going on???

                  I saw some fights in Germany that looked so ****in fixed cuz of the referees and judges!
                  just ugly

                  boxing is still one of the most corrupted sports.

                    I hate to even think this but if you think of Tyson's last fights......when he lost to Williams and McBride........can anyone here honestly tell me they would have put their money on any one other than Tyson??? even an old shell of a Tyson had the name draw to be the favorite........what better way to bet the underdog and make some extra cash knowing your on your way out????


                    I dunno ......could this be possible????? sure..........but I who knows.........
