    I really can't ever rewatch this fight without laughing hysterically and having to rewind it over & over.

    The epic staredown with Tyson looking like he just killed someone & McNeeley stood with a gormless expression face. The way the maniac tries bumrushing Tyson, him getting clattered in seconds. The way he gets up and does a lap of the ring & runs towards Tyson. The whole thing is absolutely hilarious.
    I only wish it went on a bit longer

      Actually, Tom wanted to stop it right after hearing McNeeley's godawful ring walk song.

      "I can't believe my son is walking
      straight to his demise to this crap."

        About the only thing Mike and Peter have in common are that lisp.

                Anyone think more boxers should use McNeeley's idea of going for a jog inside the ring after getting knocked down to give themselves a bit of extra time to recover the way he did against Tyson

                He got knocked down and got back up, went for a light jog around the ring, posed for a few pictures and after all that the ref started counting at 4

                  Tyson is the true PPV king, put Pac or Floyd i with a no name journeyman and they won't do a 100k and thats the truth. Tyso nwas known world wide, Floyd is known by chumps and Pac my filos!

                      I'd agree with that.

                      To be fair though that McNeeley fight was only so big PPV wise because it was Tyson's first fight back from Prison.

                      Still, I doubt any other PPV stars would have done those numbers in the same situation.
