    Moorer won the title in suspicious manner. He won a close decision vs Holyfield who had heart problems supposedly. It's very possible Moorer won the title by a fix because Holyfield had already beaten Foreman easily and the rematch would have been a hard sell. The powers that be wanted Foreman to be champ, because he could transcend the sport and attrack interest from the casual sports fan and endorsement money. It was also odd how Holyfield did not demand a rematch with Moorer.

    The sport received a huge boost when Foreman became champion. Watch Foreman's reaction after the KO of Moorer, he went to the corner and bowed down and prayed. He never did that before. He looked like he was part of the fix. Foreman generated huge profits in and out of the ring.

    Even if he won a rematch, he wouldn't have been undefeated anymore and would not have been able to command the same kind of money. You really think anyone could have paid him $30 million off the books to make up for what he missed?

    Also, you really think if the fights were on the level that Ortiz, Macgregor or Marquez could have beaten Mayweather?

    You have no evidence to back any of this up. Just conjecture.

    I have a lot of clues and tips and inside information, enough to connect a lot of dots. Once you know how it works and you see the real fights, you can sense when a fight is rigged. A lot of times you can't tell until later, or sometimes years later. Also you begin to question certain fights that seemed strange. Like Vitali Klitschko vs Chris Byrd. Vitali was winning like ten rounds to zero, easy win. Suddenly he quit the fight with a supposed injured shoulder. But he showed no pain during the fight and left the ring seeminly uninjured. Ask yourself, why couldn't he just keep boxing and just use one arm and finish two more rounds. Byrd had no punch power and had no idea there was any injury. Then Vitali didn't demand rematch. Then it made sense. Vitali lost the wbo title on purpose to set up his brother to win it from Byrd, which he did. At the time Vitali was better than Wladimir. Then we saw Vitali fight Lewis and he got cut up badly all over his face, gruesome cuts but he would not quit. Ref stopped it and Vitali went crazy, protesting the stoppage for 5 minutes. Lewis was much tougher fight than Byrd, yet he quit vs Byrd with a suspect injury and wanted to keep brawling with Lennox with one of the worst bloodiest faces we ever saw in a world heavyweight title fight. Inconsistent behavior is always suspect.

    I don't care what you believe, just happy to present my findings and theories based on a lot of experience and critical thinking and inside info.

    The truth has to
    You trust the media to tell you all the truth? Do you know how to see beyond the surface or just accept everything at face value?

    Let's talk about Hopkins and De La Hoya. I was watching the fight in a bar and after it was over, the guy next to me, obviously a casual, said "It was a set-up, right?"

    To him, the body shot that dropped De La Hoya and ended the fight should not have been able to do that. He also thought it looked like De La Hoya was taking the loss just a little too well.

    First, anyone who knows anything about boxing knows that a well-placed shot to the liver will drop someone. They will be in pain and incapacitated, often long enough for the referee to count to 10. A few moments later, they may feel OK, but by then, the damage was done.

    While Hopkins was not a particularly hard puncher, he was a true middleweight and De La Hoya was coming up in weight. Also, it's not necessarily how hard the punch is, but the timing and where it's placed. Boxing 101.

    As far as De La Hoya's reaction after the fight, it doesn't mean shit. He was never really one to flip out after a loss. Reading something into his body language after a loss is no different than the lowlife pieces of shit who suggest the Sandy Hook shootings were faked because one of the fathers cracked a smile and laughed a little before addressing the media. But then again, it wouldn't surprise me if you subscribed to the Sandy Hook hoax shit.
