    Well many people thought that Liston took a dive against Ali in both of their fights with the mysterious shoulder injury and then the 'anchor punch' from Ali that floored Liston.

        the dives werent like rig dives though. liston took a dive because he was extremely frustrated and could NOT fight a guy like ali. He knew he'd be humiliated, why would he fight on? that was how he was thinkin

        and a lot of people thought DON KING payed off the judges in the ruiz-holyfield fight. no way any pro judge could have holyfield winning that fight

          Fixed fights are also a huge problem in the UFC.. check out
          Ken shamrock vs Rich Franklin..

          It's so obvious the blind man could tell shammy fell before he was even punched.

          Watcfh the fight, you'll get a good laugh and know the UFC is no threat to boxing. With fights like that on PPV your gonna have some pissed off fans.. Even UFC judging is a joke..

            it was proven that a lot of richie melitos fights were fixed. he was a white italian heavyweight and it was proven that several of his opponents took falls on his way up, he eventually landed a big money fight against bert cooper and was knocked out in the first round. they had audio recordings of his manager talking about the fixes and everything. the funny thing was that richie melito didnt know about the fixes, he really believed he was winning all the fights by his own skill.

                Fixed fights or bad judges? There is no doubt that when Frankie Carbo was invlved in boxing there were many fixed fights but recently? I'm not sure. The worse decision I have ever seen was a fight between Matt Vanda and Sam Garr (maybe 2 years ago) Vanda lost, in my opinion, by at least 6 rounds and ESPN had him lose by 7. Vanda got the home town decision. Now did the judges get together before the fight and agree an outcome? Did they listen to the home town cheers every time Vanda threw a punch and think that it had landed? I think the latter is more likely.

                Even Lewis vs Holyfield 1 wasn't fixed. Many of my country men forget that it was a British judge who scored the fight a draw which was a terrible decision but a fix? Never.
