McNeely was a chump! He went swinging because the likelihood of him getting KO'd would result much quicker. It was a form of a quick suicide so he would not get murdered in a more painful way by Tyson. Even I might have lasted 89 seconds against Tyson.
@YourHaunting4LifeToo he was indeed a bum. my brother took several opponents to fight peter mcneely. all were told to tank it. peter fought the same guys twice and some of them 3 times. luis monaco fight record was 3wins and 3 loses when he fought peter mcneeley and he mugged him.
@YourHaunting4LifeToo it wasn't such a bad idea to try to catch a rusty tyson sleeping. when you think about it, what else was a guy like mcneely do to tyson anyway, jab and move?
McNeely was tough. He went in there swinging and could probably, maybe!, gone to the second round. He did pretty good for a guy who out of no where jumped into the ring with the baddest man on the planet. Hes got my respect.
I remember this fight..if his manager didn`t stop the fight I think he would not be alive many fighters lost against tyson befor the bell ..at least peter has a heart and
I don't think it was a bad strategy for McNeely to rush and crowd Mike like that. Mike wasn't as effective when he was crowded and didn't have punching room. He liked to slip on jabs and duck hooks and counter. You can see he's missing punches like he did with Buster Mathis. They wouldn't win but it at least wouldn't be Tyson's preffered fight.
Everyone,PLEASE RESPECT MCNEELY! Seriously, was this guy - as people make an excuse - ''afraid'' of mike? No and did he win? No. That proves the theory. You actually need skill to beat Mike. Something Douglas had,but unfortuanly,he didn't beat ''Iron Mike'' Because ''Iron Mike'' was gone after KOing Michael Spinks
At least he had the guts to get in the ring with the badest man on the planet, thats one thing I would give Peter McNeely. Mike tyson had the potential to go on to possibly be the greatest Heavy weight ever, the only man that could beat Tyson was Tyson, the rest is History, Kia kaha Peter McNeely, no NZ.
As much as it hurts to say this being from Boston...McNeely was a bum! After his first knock down he ran around the ring like an amateur. As big a degenerate manager as he had? At least he did through in the towel. Tyson would have done some serious damage to Peter, and we all know this. Of course he was just being set up for another beating down the road, to line the pocket's of his manager...
mcneely was literally created by king for the sole purpose as being an easy pay day for when tyson, his real cash cow, got out of prison. rushing hi was not such a bad idea given tyson's ring rust and he had no chance of boxing or running where he would have got hurt much worse with probably less credibility for running also. he should have stayed super close to tyson and dirty boxed more. tyson liked medium distance and it was the best chance mcneely has imo
@FEINS1 mcneeley wasnt created by Don King, king just used him. he was created by his manager vinnie vecchione and vinnies friends. Big Al Braver was Vinnies silent partner. peter was a bum with a phoney record built on beating other bums. hell he fought the same guys twice and a couple of them 3 times.
@drogheda1942 apologies for my poor choice of words. no, king didn't create the fighter, but he did create the illusion that he was a legit prospect for tyson when the time came, as per seldon, etc.
@FEINS1 Peter was used by his manger to fill his pockets . Vinnie only stopped the fight so he(vinnie) would be the center of attention. one of the people that helped Vinnie build his record told me recently that peter was was his (vinnie) cash cow. Vinnie liked to give the impression he was connected to the mob. the closest vinnie ever got to anyone connected was his friend from indianapolis and that helped him build peters record. dont think you used a poor choice of words .
If McNeeley had taken his time instead of charging at Tyson like a rabid bull, he would have lost this fight anyway. But, he would have lost with some dignity.
Man, i've never seen someone so happy after a loss. Kind of tells you a little about his character, heart, and what his main intention was............MONEY. Mcneeley's got some good game, but man, find some heart.
Oh, and let's not forget that fuckwit of a trainer who got McNeeley DQ'd by waddling into the ring. The hypocrisy of matching your fighter with an opponent you KNOW is going to hurt him, then claiming you stepped in early to "protect him" is just mindboggling.
The trainer wasted a lot of people's time and money pulling that stunt...people who'd paid to see a fight, and didn't get one.
Fuck him and fuck McNeeley. Good riddance to them both.
McNeeley really embarrassed himself, first by acting like he'd won before the fight with that ridiculous "this is for my grandfathers, this is for my grandmothers..." speech (what the fuck was he doing, accepting an award?!), and then by acting like he'd won AFTER the fight, whooping like an idiot, hi-fiving his pals and puffing cigars like he's the king of the fucking world.
And the less said about that stupid phonecall at the end the better. Re-match? Yeah right!
bullshit I have met McNeeley several times boxing was his life back then. he fought his heart out he really did try. but I will say this fight was the equivalent of the NY Yankees vs a single A ball club. McNeeley only pocketed 100 grand for this ans it is all gone
Funny a "never was" like you calling McNeeley a "never was" and one of the worst boxers ever. I am so sure you would have been 35-1 fighting the exact same opponents as him. It doesn't matter what pros you fight, if you are 35-1 then you are far from the worst fighter ever.
