Most Obvious Dives In Boxing

[Left2theliver]

Tim Bradley vs. Devon Alexander???? "AAAAHHHHHHHH it BURNS!!!!!!"

Sucks, cuz i'm actually a Devon Alexander fan, but damn that was embarassing....

[McFearless]

Clearly Paul Briggs versus Danny Green.

I remember in the early 2000's the promoters for Richie Melito Jr were paying his opponents to take dives.

See court case here. http://www.justice.gov/usao/nv/home/...ll110804_t.htm

They tried to pay off Smokin Bert Cooper but he wasn't having any of it and blasted out the fraud Melito in a round.


This is a really good article talking about how people aren't taking dives as much anymore, they are just promoting gross mismatches.

I looked up the video to the fight of where Beethoven Scottland was killed in the ring Idk if its true but I guess Mercante Jr was the ref?? And he didn't stop the fight?
Interesting to hear especially after what happened with the fight foreman Cotto fight last year

De La Hoya vs Hopkins.

[Mr. Philadel]

Yeah right. What, Oscar was afraid of breaking his knuckles on BHop's head with all the punches he was landing? Or was he afraid one of BHop's gloves was going to fly off on one of his many misses and hit soomeone in the crowd?

if you dont think that was a dive you are straight **** sucking

[mrpain81]

Yeah try for 8 rounds to take your opponents head off and even knock him down once , then suddenly decide to take a dive in the 9th.

Pretty impressive to take a dive without falling.

Can't believe no one has mentioned Bruce Seldon vs Mike Tyson yet. Think he was just scared ****less of Iron Mike.
