Fights That May Have Been Scripted

[max baer]

Can good folks here bring up fights that in hindsight may have been scripted. Scripted to give punters a great fight but both fighters scripting the outcome.
I ask this as people are saying iron mike vs jake paul will be scripted to protect iron mike.
Can anyone point to a fight that seemed scripted from the get go.

no way ali agreed with liston and made it up NO WAY ali was too proud and good to do that.

- - More likely scripted to protect Paul. Mike can still **** as Roy Jones can testify.

Ali/Liston 1 was scripted on the fly by the end after The Mob lost all their $$$ on the Early KO of Ali who looked like shyte his last two fights.

Ali/Liston 2 was just mismanaged and bungled by boxing starting with Jersey Joe who was in over his head as STOOOPID got passed along the boxing line.

I don't think Ali had anything to do with it,he seemed really pissed when Sonny went down,shouting at him to get up.

I think Caenera's win over Sharkey was legit. After his death Sharkey's wife said Jack always said he got caught with a good punch. Moments before the uppercut Sharkey was throwing bombs looking for the knockout himself. To add to that, Primo had improved greatly since their first meeting.

In a taped interview Sharkey admitted his wife had her doubts about the legitimacy of the ko.
Sharkey could throw bombs and make sure they did not connect.He looks like he is ducking down inviting the uppercut which by the way is not actually seen connecting on film only the reaction to it ringsiders said it was Carnera's forearm that actually struck Sharkey .
The ko looks very theatrical to me.Carnera never showed that power before or again.
We will never know.
Sharkey lived to 91 his wife died long before him.



Aug 19, 1994 ?In addition to his son, Sharkey, whose wife died years ago, is survived by two daughters, Dorothy McDonald and Marilyn Shea, 14 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren
