Is it true that the Tyson-McNeeley fight was the most embarrassing in boxing?

Question

Has anyone embarrassed themselves more than McNeeley did when he fought Tyson?

Answer 1

No the tyson vs marvis frazier fight was way more embarrassing. Frazier got knocked out in 19 seconds in the first round.

Answer 2

No the most embarrassing was the Tyson - Michael Spinks fight.  Spinks probably wet his pants on the way into the ring and wanted to get back to the locker room the quickest way he knew how.  Spinks was a great light heavyweight and I saw most of his fights and consider him one of my favorite fighters but him being scared to death of Tyson and the performance he put on that night was an embarrassment.

Answer 3

I think McNeeley kept his 15 minutes of fame going too with a Pizza Hut commercial. The slice knocked him out or something on the commercial.  

Answer 4

Yes.

Answer 5

How do you figure he embarrassed himself? He was the son of a former boxer friend of Don Kings,he was a big guy, King got him a bunch of set up fights to build a bit of a record for him so that when  Tyson came out of prison he could fight a set up to make him look good. McNeely was not expected to win and was there to be knocked out to make Tyson look good.

He wasn't a real fighter and was pretty dumb, he was paid a million dollars for 30 seconds of work. What about Bruce Seldon he didn't even get hit and went down. At least McNeely took a few shots and had the balls to throw back at Tyson. He was a chubby white guy with no skills who was fed hand picked opponents to build a record, he wasn't supposed to win, he knew it, and so did everyone else.

It was kind of funny before the fight he said about Tyson "Im gonna wrap him in my cocoon of horra" lol.......

Answer 6

McNeeley did what he could and there have been much better fighters equally embarrased by Iron Mike... to me the boxer who embarrassed himself the most was Oliver McCall against Lennox Lewis about 10 years ago i think.... i will say this for McCall, he took some monster shots and never went down but the Stroker started crying in between rounds as well as durning the freaking fight and was hard to watch... they called the fight in favor of Lewis by TKO even though McCall Never went down but because of have a Nervous break down or what i like to call Coming down off Crack
