Thread: Peter McNeeley pre-Tyson Fight

I got a chance to watch the Tyson vs. McNeeley fight finally on Youtube at the college library cus they got hi-speed internet in there. I knew McNeeley was all hype and was a joke, but how the hell did they get him that record? 40-1 with 36 KO's I think it was , and Don King had him ranked #7 by the WBA. What a joke. I've never seen McNeeley b4 or since and I know he was KO'd by Butterbean in like 30 seconds or some shat, I heard he got sent to prison too. So what was the deal with this guy weren't his fights televised before he fought Tyson so as to hype him up? He must have really faced some bums. I do give the nut job some credit though, he did bum rush Mike Tyson, even though it got him knocked on his ass about 20 seconds in and eventually stopped.

mcneelys record is disgracfull. he fought all bums and not bums like bruce seldon or danny williams, he litterally fought homeless gronks. the only fighter he fought anygood was tyson and tyson should have got a ko to his record, that dq was bull shite, tyson ko that bum

You gotta give the guy props for trying to rush Tyson though, what an idiot lol!

McNeeley was awful....utter garbage and the fight with Tyson was a farce!!

After the fight McNeely did a commercial for pizza hut. He knocked himself out with the crust when he turned the pizza around to eat it backwards. Thats how much of a joke the guys was....The guys he beat were picked out of the crowd before the fight.

McNeeley pre Tyson? When I read that I thought it was gonna be his interview and stuff before the fight at the press conference.

TYSON!!!!I WILL WRAP YOU IN MY CACOON OF TERROR!!!!

And you thought Cory Spinks was a retard... This guy is a major toolbag to likes of which has never been seen in this sport before

I remember when that Idiot flashed Tyson that goofy fukin grin during the instructions and I was thinking to myself this guy is gonna get killed

Cory Spinks is a retard. Mcneeley was too. That stare down was entertaining, McNeeley was laughing and tryin to look crazy and Tyson was just staring at him, his eyes following the goofy bastard back and forth, you knew Mike was gonna knock him the hell out. I looked up McNeeley on Wikipedia and I guess he got arrested for aiding in a robbery as the driver or some shat. Didn't mention prison time though. I guess him and his accomplices made away with a whopping $180 ! Interestingly enuff, his Father was also a HW fighter and faced Cus D'mato's other HW prodigy, Floyd Patterson and was KO'd in 4.

I laughed so hard the first time I saw that. I guess he thought "Tyson's just a big bully, I'll rush him and put pressure on him and he'll fold in no time" and then BOOM he's on his ass almost immediatley.

Utter rubbish!

What else to do, back into the ropes and take several extra shots to the skull because you have no where to fall? Take one step back against Tyson and you're seeing stars.

Does anyone recall the Pizza Hut commerical with McNeeley in it?
