Let me clarify. I don't mean someone you hated and he quits or gets KO'd and you're like "yeah i told you he sucked". I mean a guy you held in somewhat high esteem or at least liked who after a fight just left you in disgust.
Hatton v. Manny - I knew Hatton would get destroyed against Manny. And we all probably knew he'd get youtubed but it was clear from the jump he didn't train right or even care about trying to win the fight. He just showed up to try and land a lucky punch and it confirmed when Floyd Sr. basically called him out on bull****ting during training camp during one of the rounds.
Abraham against dirrell. To throw a cheap shot like that out of frustration is extremely unprofessional and just a dick move. You can tell it was on purpose because he was throwing the punch, then instincively pulled it back when he saw dirrell had slipped to a knee only to then throw it regardless. To then make all sorts of lame excuses makes it even worse. To this day some morons acctually think dirrell faked it because of abrahams lack och dignity in defeat, never seen someone robbed of their moment like that before or since.
Ortiz against mayweather. Just made an ass of himself in every way, whole thing was embarrasing and acctually tops abraham for unprofessionalism. To first blatantly headbutt someone out of frustration and then drop your hands right in the action, dude even looked at the ref as floyd was hitting him! Complete clown.
Tyson in holyfield rematch.
Also anyone who doesnt admit they lost even when its clear as day. Rios against abril, bradley against pac, holyfield against lewis 1. Also lost a tremendous amount of respect for holyfield after the first tyson fight when he tried to turn it into a war of religions, talking about how he proved his god was the only true god and mikes was fake or some **** like that. Classless and ignorant.
Haye - Klitschko most of all
Talk so much sh*t about the fight and put such a half hearted attempt to winning. Just GTFO bro... I'm glad he is not on tv much anymore.
Abraham - Ward
AA threw 7 punches in a round.... 7. How does that even happen. I feel like any fighter can accidently throw more than 7 punches in a single round.
Judah - Khan
He copped out so bad (zab). He couldve gotten up but he was just milking the 'illegal' shot and it bit him in his ass.
Hopkins v Calzaghe
Hopkins reaction to Joe at the end after Calzaghe went over to embrace him was disrespectful.
Haye v Klitschko
If all Haye's boasts about what he was going to do weren't enough, he went and got his pinkie out to use as an excuse when he didn't follow through.
Bradley v Pacquiao
Bradley's new faux bad guy attitude after he got a gift v Pacquiao didn't sit well with me. He should have just been honest.
Rubio v Pavlik
Rubio yapped and complained, did nothing during the fight then quit.
Marquez v Pacquiao IV
Sorry, but 39 year old fighters don't develop one-punch power out of thin air.
Harrison v Haye
Come on Audley, at least throw a punch. I'm no Olympic champ but I'd have at least thrown a punch.
Bellew v Chilemba I
Bellew acted like a prick throughout even after he got a gift draw.
Mayweather v Ortiz
Cheap shots, unnecessary. Robbed the fans of what was looking like a good fight.
Dirrell v Abraham
Faked an injury to get out of the kitchen when the action heated up.
Dirrell v Froch
Ruined the fight as a spectacle, or as a fight period.
Guerrero vs Berto (For holding Berto's head and hitting basically UFC clinch)
Hatton vs Mayweather (For that rabbit punch)
Corrales vs Castillo (His mouthguard spitting was a cheap move... The win however was still epic)
Judah vs Khan (Judah for quitting and Khan for that weird elbow slam to keep Judah hunched over)
Roy Jones vs Green (I love Roy but I really wanted him to retire after this)
A bunch more but you guys have already mentioned them I think
Judah was a disgrace against Khan but I had already completely lost respect for Judah because of the Clottey fight.
Judah was cut by a punch and everyone but the ref saw it. There wasn't even an opportunity for a clash of heads and Zab had a fit and put on an Academy Award acting performance to get the fight stopped on a headbutt and save him from a knockout loss.
Brandon Rios for claiming that he beat Abril.
Guerrero vs Berto (For holding Berto's head and hitting basically UFC clinch)
Hatton vs Mayweather (For that rabbit punch)
Corrales vs Castillo (His mouthguard spitting was a cheap move... The win however was still epic)
Judah vs Khan (Judah for quitting and Khan for that weird elbow slam to keep Judah hunched over)
Roy Jones vs Green (I love Roy but I really wanted him to retire after this)
A bunch more but you guys have already mentioned them I think
Lost respect for Ortiz when he quit against Maidana. Lost respect for Khan when he kept ducking Prescott. Lost respect for Manny when he said he beat Marquez in the 3rd fight.
Brandon Rios for claiming that he beat Abril. Tim Bradley for still thinking he beat Pac-Man; evident that he recieved brain damage against Pac and no doubt Provo made it worse. Amir Kahn for blaming his loss to Prescott on Ramadan. Oscar de la Hoya for running from Trinidad like a bytch after schooling him for 7 rds. Donaire for making excuses. Rigo for running like a bytch. Dawson for his MMA stunt against Hopkins. Trinidad for not calling out his fans at MSG after booing the US anthem on American grounds during the Joppy fight and he should have told them he will never fight in front of them again.
140 pound Donut vs 122 pound Rigondeaux: Nonito made too many excuses, and still makes excuses to this day. Lost all my respect for Nonito.
Manny vs Marquez III: Manny Claiming that he beat Marquez when Marquez clearly owned pacroid for the majority of that fight. Lost any respect I had for Manny that night and I proudly support the Money Team and Floyd Mayweather now.
Austin Trout vs Canelo Alvarez: I respected Trout until he showed no sense of urgency in that fight. He won that fight in my eyes but damn. I hate both fighters now. I have hated canelo alvarez since he decided to replace Paul Williams with someone like Josesito Lopez instead of a fighter like Lara or Ishe Smith.
Id say Margarito -Mosley for the controversy and the result and i regarded him very highly before that so it was a slap. But just by pure lack of will when Victor Ortiz wanted to quit boxing because he got touched up was pretty disgraceful.
Alexander quitting against Bradley.
Manny glove tapping against Mosley and carrying him through the fight.
Dirrell's unbelievable delayed reaction to being lightly clipped by Abraham.
BHop and the shoulder injury attempt to get Dawson DQ'd.
Margarito being exposed as a cheat and not showing any remorse at all.
Gotta be d.haye vs w.klichsko haye talked soooo much lip ,then put that effort in the ring went from go Hard or go home to just don't hit my face.

Not the fight exactly, but Morales taking supplements in the second Garcia fight. That was shameful, I did lose a little respect for Terrible, I guess his oldness and desperation got the better of him. I can't believe he's still going, Erik is amazing, but he's hurting his legacy...
Ivan Calderon........
& Gamiel "platano" Diaz vs Humberto Soto
I'm just curious why anyone would ever lose respect for Calderon? The guy was undersized even at 105, and didn't have a drop of power. Yet he managed to become a world champion in two weight classes and made countless defenses against bigger guys with no losses. By the time he finally lost he was in his mid thirties and well past his prime. What else was expected of him?
